Geneseo, Illinois

Working in Geneseo

Henry County is good farm ground with the Green River and the Hennepin Canal running just north of town, and timber following the creeks and the canal corridor. Fence rows, field edges and waterways here grow in the same way they do around home.

The usual jobs are clearing fence rows so they can be farmed up to or rebuilt, opening up wooded draws and creek edges, cleaning up acreage outside town, and cutting or repairing gravel drives and lanes.

Because Geneseo is on the road we already take to Moline and Davenport, it is one of the easier towns west of us to schedule.

“James is a good communicator… he has some super equipment and for sure endeavors to do a great job. He recently rototilled some property for me… then planted it with oats and grass seed. Now it can rain all it wants!!”

How do I get an estimate?

Call or text, or send the form on the contact page. The details that help most up front: roughly how many acres, how thick it is, what’s growing on it, whether a truck and trailer can get in, and when you’d like it done.

What does a job cost?

It depends on acreage, how thick the growth is, how big the material is, the terrain, and how hard the site is to get equipment into. Two properties of the same acreage can be a full day apart in work. That’s why estimates are free and why it’s worth looking at the ground rather than quoting off a map.

Do you work year-round?

Yes. Mulching and clearing carry on through the colder months, and winter is often the better time for it — the ground is firm, there are no leaves in the way, and you can see what you’re working with. Snow plowing runs through the same season.

How long does a job take?

Small jobs — a fence row, an overgrown lot, a driveway regrade — are often a day or less. An acre of heavy, mature growth takes considerably longer than an acre of light brush. You’ll get a realistic time estimate along with the price, not an optimistic one.

We Look at the Ground

James looks at the ground before he gives you a number, so the estimate fits the job in front of him.

The Work Gets Done

We agree on what comes out and what stays. Then the machines go to work, with James running them.

Ground You Can Use

You are left with ground you can walk, mow, build on or farm, and the topsoil stays where it belongs.
