It's that time of year in Amarillo when the green is starting to turn into brown. The summer that brought bright colors and green vegetation is slowly dying off.  When these plants and weeds die off, it isn't pretty, and it is somewhat of a mess.

If you have a piece of land or a backyard that just got out of control, now's the time to clean it up. Most people don't have the proper equipment to knock down all those tall weeds (the base of those things can get bigger than a small tree) and then clean them up. Sometimes, lawn services just aren’t able to help.

Can You Rent Goats in Amarillo?

The answer is yes, you can rent goats to come to your property and clear off the vegetation. They bring the goats out to your property. If you don't have fences, then they will set up temporary panels. Then they release the goats and let them go to work.

Not only will these goats clean up the yard, but they will also provide hours of entertainment as you watch them work.

The Lewis Family offers goatscaping here in the Amarillo area.  If you have a piece of land or yard that needs the goat brigade to clean up the vegetation, then text 602-524-4150 to get a quote and set up your goat rental.
