"The Best in Professional Deer, Coyote & Wildlife Abatement.” Specializing in Professional Deer, Coyote & Wildlife Abatement with minimal impact to the environment. Without using chemicals, we can drastically reduce the Tick population and your odds of getting Lyme Disease or other tick related problems.. PLUS all of your plants, flowers and shrubs will be 100% protected from deer damage. We do all sizes of properties. No Job is Too Big! --------------------------------------------------------------- After thousands of hours of field testing and many years studying deer habits we have come up with solutions which really work. We use several methods depending on how much control is wanted for your property and we fully explain the pros and cons of each method. Although a steel fence barrier can be the best overall choice in many cases, we know that there is not one universal solution for all families or properties. This allows us to recommend what is best for your particular budget and/or situation. First we need to find out what your requirements are, then we need to know how you use your yard and finally, we look at and analyze what the local Deer are doing on and around your property. Whether or not you decide on 100% exclusion by installing a fence or some lesser alternative, the Deer Patterns, Browsing Habits and Behavior in your area are very important in achieving true success. And if a fence is needed, most times it should not be put up just anywhere that it “SEEMS” good as this can lead to future breeches and a probable lack of control! We NEVER EVER just install a fence and go like most “Fence installers” do. If fact we are not fence installers per se, but rather true abatement specialists that look at all aspects of a combination of your needs, type of terrain, wildlife activity and local browsing habits to come up with the best solution for you. We come back often after it is closed off to check on your property as this greatly further helps us to better understand the deer which live around you. This way if any adjustments need to be made in the future we will not be guessing on what to do. Depending on the location and time of year, we will be there four plus times during the first week. Then two or three times a week for as long as needed - usually a month or two. And then around twice a month for another two or three months. Finally, for the remainder of the year at least once a month or more if required. This needs to be done for “ANY” fence or other solution used to keep deer out or away, as the Deer are adjusting to the fence line. The installer very often needs to know what has changed since the fence was installed so he can make adjustments if needed - now or in the future. Because of the above statements we DO NOT RELY on normal fence installation practices and methods to keep the deer out, as they MOST OFTEN simply don’t work. We always install the fence ourselves. There is always an owner/partner on the property at all times. We supervise and physically install every part of the deer fence - there is never an un-managed crew left behind to work without an owner/partner present. The bottom line is that anyone who says that the deer cannot be kept out is incorrect as long as the correct location is picked and the proper follow up AFTER the installation is adhered to. IF THIS IS NOT DONE FROM THE BEGINNING, WHATEVER BARRIER IS CHOSEN HAS A REAL CHANCE OF NOT WORKING AS NEEDED. This is why we always succeed were others often fail. We really care about the end result and that is why we have achieved great results over the years. We really keep the deer out and can greatly reduce ticks and your odds of getting Lyme Disease and/or other Tick related diseases on your property! We will soon offer ORGANIC Insect control.

From clean ups to full lot clearings our crew is equipped to perform any level of tree work. If you have a large tree close to your house we can safely remove the tree and the stump all in the same day. After the trees are cut down we remove all logs, branches and debris and leave no trace. We own and operate a full sawmill, Woodstock Beam Works, where we can take a log, mill it into lumber, kiln dry it and custom build tables, bar tops etc. We put safety and the environment first. We are a Green company and we respect your property and the safety of all involved.

"I scheduled an appointment for an estimate, only to be told an hour before that he wasn’t able to come. I agreed to reschedule, but then—out of nowhere—he texted just five minutes before our original appointment and showed up without confirm with us that the time still worked, despite having already canceled. It was inconvenient and unprofessional, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and moved forward with scheduling the actual stump removal. On the day of the job, at the exact time they were scheduled to arrive, I got a last-minute text saying they couldn’t come due to rain. Weather is something that can be checked ahead of time—this should have been communicated the day before, not at the moment they were supposed to start. Because of their lack of professionalism, I had to reschedule other contractors who were lined up to follow their work, creating a domino effect of delays. After reading reviews, it turns out this is a common issue with this company. If reliability matters to you, I’d recommend looking elsewhere—showing up is step one in being a professional contractor, and unfortunately, they don’t seem to have that down."

Lawn dethatching services FAQs

Dethatching machines look like lawnmowers but have blades that cut down in crisscrossing motions. This action loosens the thatch, which is then raked up separately and removed. You might see some dethatching machines with rake-like tines. These often do not offer the best experience compared to those with blades.

You should fertilize your lawn after dethatching. This gives the damaged grass a solid nutrient boost to aid quick recovery, helping your lawn to grow back greener and stronger. Fertilizing before dethatching wastes your time, money, and energy and may even damage your lawn.

Yes, dethatching is worth it if you've got a thick thatch layer. Grab a trowel, dig up a small section of soil and grass, and check how thick the thatch layer is. If it's an inch or more, and you're noticing problems like thinning grass, weak, patchy grass, or pale coloring, it could be time to dethatch to restore health and vigor.

The cost to reseed a lawn typically ranges from $400 to $1,800. The total price often depends on the size of your lawn and the type of service needed.
