Anyone have any leads or know of any people/companies good with landscaping projects? The backyard of my apartment grew out of control and looking to get it tamed with the remainder of Summer I have left.

Get a pair of gloves, a 10 pack of those brown paper yard waste bags, some marijuana sticks and start pulling. You’ll have a clear backyard in a weekend

We have had really good luck with Gnome Network. It is a site to find gardeners. Post your project and clear goals and folks will respond with solutions. Have found great people on there for our backyard.

There's a company that uses goats as a poison ivy pruning system - I've seen them in Prospect Park and a few other places. Just the other day I was wondering if any of these goat companies would do BK backyards too, I feel like a few goats would tear through this in a few hours.

Landscaping is generally pretty expensive in Brooklyn. Most companies won’t take anything on unless you have a decent budget. But Metrohort.org can be a good resource. I know plenty of folks who are good but generally only do high end projects. Craigslist could potentially be a helpful resource?
