Someone to clear overgrown yard?
We just purchased a vacant building in Bed-Stuy. The rear yard is completely overgrown with some kind of crazy vegetation. The stuff is like 20 feet tall and nearly reaches the 2nd floor windows and the ground cannot be seen what-so-ever from any angle. There’s all sort of trash beneath this “jungle canopy” and of…
We just purchased a vacant building in Bed-Stuy. The rear yard is completely overgrown with some kind of crazy vegetation. The stuff is like 20 feet tall and nearly reaches the 2nd floor windows and the ground cannot be seen what-so-ever from any angle. There’s all sort of trash beneath this “jungle canopy” and of course rodents. We’d like to clear the yard ASAP since we’re sure its something the neighbors do not appreciate. But, the job is too much for us alone. Can anyone recommend a company that does this sort of thing? Thank you.
I just had my backyard cleared out by Evergreen Tree Service and they did a really great job. I was stunned that they cut down a whole tree (it was growing between the chain link fence — will replant in a better location, tree lovers), trimmed others and cleared the entire, nasty, overgrown, unusable thing out in about 2 hours. This is their website http://www.evergreentreeshrubinc.com/ I got their number from a neighbor who had them take down a 7 story tree and also raved about them. It was not cheap, it was like $750, but they had all the equipment and really knew what they were doing. It was messy, they had to pass through my bedroom and kitchen with all that debris, but it was over so fast it was worth it. I recommend doing it all at once and just get it over with. I can send you pictures. Email me at herkimer dot street at yahoo dot com
Sounds an awful lot like Japanese Knotweed. I battled it for a couple of years before getting it under control. Do a search and see if that’s what it is. Small shoots came up every spring and in a matter of days were enormous plants with huge leaves. The key to tackling it is to keep cutting it back, pulling up as many roots as you can and keeping after it. It will eventually go away.
You should try K Wright at WMC, he and his group are very good. 3477896550. Good Luck!!1
