  • “We could not be more happy with the land clearing services provided by Cody. It was important to us to get as much land cleared as possible on our budget and Cody did just that. He did not waste any time and was able to meet all our expectations. He cleared AS MUCH land possible for the 8 hours of work billed. We will absolutely hire him again in the future.”
