Your Local Landscaper in Rough and Ready

Rough and Ready sits between Grass Valley and Penn Valley, and it is country more than it is town. Bigger parcels, more grass, more oak, and a lot more ground to cover per job.

Acreage cleanups and brush clearing, defensible space opened up around the house, the shop, and the outbuildings, blackberry pulled out at the root instead of just cut back, annual grass mowed down before it cures off, ditch and drainage lines cleared, irrigation repairs and winterization, planting and bed work, and dump runs with the 10ft and 20ft trailers so a full parcel clears in one go. We run a 12 inch chipper and 10ft and 20ft dump trailers, so brush and debris leave with us the same day instead of sitting in a pile for a week.

What Rough and Ready Properties Deal With

Open grassland with oak, and enough acreage on most parcels that fire defense is a whole-property job rather than a ring around the house. Annual grass is the driver out here. It grows fast on winter rain, cures off hard once the rain quits, and then it is standing fuel right up against the outbuildings nobody thinks about until August.

Common Questions From Rough and Ready

Do you serve Rough and Ready CA?

Yes. Rough and Ready is between our two main towns and it is well inside the service area. Call (530) 210-3990.

What services do you offer in Rough and Ready?

Full yard cleanups, fire defense and defensible space clearing, irrigation and sprinkler installs and repairs, landscaping and planting, debris removal and dump runs, pruning and hedging, mowing and grounds maintenance, roof blowing and gutter cleaning, sod and grass repair, and winter maintenance.

Can you handle a full acreage cleanup?

Yes. That is a lot of what we do out here. Brush and blackberry cleared, grass knocked down, limbs raised, and the whole load hauled off in our own trailers rather than left in a burn pile you have to deal with later.

Do you clear defensible space around outbuildings too?

Yes, and it matters as much as the house. Shops, barns, and sheds usually have grass and brush growing right up against them because nobody walks back there. That gets cleared the same as the zone around the home.

Can you get rid of blackberry for good?

We pull it rather than just cutting the tops off, which is why it stays gone longer. Blackberry comes back from root and it will make a run at any ground you leave open, so the honest answer is that a bad patch usually takes a follow-up pass.
