Portland’s wet winters push growth fast, and it doesn’t look the same everywhere. Steep wooded lots in the SW hills near Hillsdale and Multnomah Village deal with blackberry working through slopes and fence lines. Flatter lots out in Lents, St. Johns and Parkrose deal with brush and yard debris piling up just as fast. Either way, it doesn’t take long for a yard to get away from you.
Billy Goat Property Services has cleared blackberry, brush and yard debris across Portland, Gresham and the Tri-County area for over 18 years, for homeowners, real estate agents and property managers. We’re insured, and straightforward about what the job will and won’t include. The crew cuts it down, hauls it away, and sets up a follow-up treatment where regrowth is likely.
Steep or flat, blackberry works into whatever’s there: fence lines, slopes, the corner of a yard nobody gets to. We cut it down to the ground and haul it away. The roots are what’s left underground; pulling those out isn’t something we do on a residential lot, so we schedule a follow-up treatment instead, which is what actually keeps it from coming back.
Weeds take hold wherever there’s gravel and open ground: driveways, fence lines, and the pastures on the outer edges of the city. We look at what’s actually growing, then coordinate the right treatment for it, carried out by licensed third-party applicators.
Got a pile of branches from last winter’s storms? Yard cleanup is one of the most common calls we get in Portland. Maybe you cleared out a shed and need the junk gone. We haul away yard waste, construction debris, and property junk, load it up and take it with us when we leave. No piles left behind, no trips to the dump on your weekend.
Some properties need more than a quick cleanup. If a house has sat empty for a while or a piece of land has been neglected for years, we bring it back. We remove the overgrowth, clear the trash and debris, and handle full lot and land clearing when the whole lot needs it. This is why realtors call us when they need to list a property.
You have options when it comes to hiring help in Portland. Here is why property owners stick with us.
We know the Portland climate. The wet winters mean blackberries and brush grow fast and thick. We know when to cut and how to treat the land so your cleanup lasts longer than a few weeks.
We bring the right tools. Smaller jobs might only need a crew and some hand tools. But when we show up for a full property restoration, we bring commercial-grade equipment built for heavy brush and yard debris. That matters when you are on a deadline to sell or need to clear land for a project.
We work with realtors and property managers every day. If you need a property cleaned up before photos are taken or before a new tenant moves in, we understand the timeline. We show up when we say we will and get the work done.
Homeowners call us when the yard gets away from them. Maybe the blackberries grew over the back fence, or the winter storms left branches covering the lawn. We clear it out so you can enjoy your yard again.
Commercial property managers call us for one-time cleanouts, from a single overgrown lot to a larger property that’s gotten away from them. Realtors and contractors call for the same reason: the ground has to be clear before anything else happens on it.
One crew covers the whole city, so you’re not hunting for someone who’ll come out to your side of it. We’ll look at what’s actually there and tell you straight what it needs.
You do not need to guess how much the job costs. We look at the property, talk about what your needs are, and give you a fair price. No hidden fees, no fine print. Call us or fill out our simple online form to get started. Let’s get your Portland property looking the way it should.
