Goatscaping can be surprisingly affordable compared to other yard clearing services.   Every property is different such as areas, vegetation, the need for clearing ahead of time, etc. Due to this fact, because of this, my policy is to walk the land with you in order to give you a “guestimate” of the length of time the goats will need to get the job done.  I do charge $30 to come out for the estimate, however, if we work together, I do deduct this from your final bill.  I do require half of your payment up front and then the other half at the end.  If the goats finish earlier than expected, I will pro-rate the contract appropriately.  There are some properties that require extra clearing before we set up our solar powered electric fencing that will require an additional charge.

Below is our pricing list for the services we offer.

Costs

  • Daily labor

    Residential: $150/day includes 6 Goats

    Each additional Goat $ 5/day

    Commercial: $150/day includes 6 Goats

    Each additional Goat $ 5/day

    6-10 Goats can generally clear a quarter acre in about a week depending upon the density of vegetation.

  • Fence Set-up and breakdown:

    100 SF Fencing: $125.00 (initial fence):

    Additional Fence: $90

    The fence set-up fees are dependent upon the difficulty, and the human labor required for set up. Things such as steepness, presence of obstacles, and thickness of vegetation will affect this.

  • Land Clearing (either before or during – during means any additional sections to be cleared)

    $50/hr per helper Initial clearing

    $65/hr per helper. subsequent clearing

    Travel charges are determined based upon location.

  • Project Size

    We don’t have a minimum size for a project, but we send our goats out in groups of 6 for a minimum of a week at a time. Since there is considerable time involved in setting up the perimeter fencing, we don’t do shorter projects. Our goats can generally clear 1/4 acre in a week, so if you have more than that amount of land, you should schedule additional weeks. If you have less than 1/4 acre to clear and the goats finish early, we can pick them up at anytime. . .but there will still be a 1-week minimum charge.

  • Goat Safety & Security

    We do what we can to ensure a safe location for the animals while on your property. However, if stolen or harmed, the cost to YOU would be $300.00 per animal. If injured, it would be the cost of the veterinarian bill.
