It's a pleasure to give 5 Stars+ to Dave and his crew. Dave offered a reasonable estimate to clear about 5 acres. He was professional, communicative and timely. He and his crew did an amazing job of clearing invasive brush and trees, while carefully saving the good ones. We will use them again and very happy recommend this company.

Dave was very helpful in planning and executing changes to some land I recently bought. I wanted to clear several areas for camping and Dave did a great job sharing the vision and providing accurate estimates. Definitely recommend and will use again.

Fantastic job!! Dave and his crew are professional, reliable, and easy going. The quote was very reasonable - and the quality of work far exceeded my expectations! I had two projects on my property and can't believe how great they both turned out. I am already planning to bring them back for additional work in the future. I high recommend them!!

Veterans LLC did a great job clearing out a large, overgrown and unused vegetable garden on our property. There was way too much going on for us to clear it out ourselves, so we hired Dave Anderson and his team to do the work for us. It was money well spent! The price was reasonable and the service was terrific. Very respectful and kind, too. I highly recommend this company.

A shout out to Veterans LLC - Land Clearing & Landscaping. Dave Andersen, really helped me in a pinch clearing out 21 of 23 trees killed by the ash borer beetle before we purchased our property. You'll get great work and fair deal. You can find him on Facebook and the web. Dave is the real deal. Cheers!
