Home/Our Process
Start to finish
Six steps, and you handle none of them.
No site prep, no power, no need to be home. Here's exactly what happens from the first phone call to the day the trailer pulls out.
Request an estimate
Call or send the form with the address, rough acreage and what's growing. Photos help a lot. We'll come back with next steps and a time to visit.
Site assessment
We walk the property with you: vegetation type and density, terrain, access for the trailer, water, fencing needs, anything you want protected, and what you actually want the place to look like afterward. For most properties in our regular working area the assessment is free; if you're further out we'll tell you upfront what it involves.
Custom plan
Herd size, how the property gets sectioned, containment, estimated duration, logistics, and whether mulching, chipping or debris removal belongs in the scope. You get the cost with and without those.
Setup
We deliver the herd and install containment — usually portable electric fencing on solar, or Nofence GPS collars where the ground makes netting impractical. Larger or more remote sites may add cameras and guardian dogs. Nothing is drawn from your power.
The goats work
The herd browses the target vegetation down. We check on them on a set schedule. On big jobs we move the fencing forward section by section so you can see progress across the property.
Completion & follow-up
Animals and equipment come out. If you've got established invasives, we'll lay out a repeat-grazing schedule so the ground you just gained doesn't get given back.
Fair warning
Two things people are surprised by.
It doesn't look landscaped. Grazing leaves an opened-up, browsed-down area with stems and woody material still standing. That's vegetation management, not lawn care. If you want a tidy finish, mulching or chipping is the add-on that gets you there, and we'll price it up front.
Weather moves the schedule. Goats work in most conditions, but sustained heavy rain, storms or extreme heat can slow a project or pause it. We'd rather tell you that at the estimate than the week it happens.
