Wisconsin's New Sustainability Lawn Care Friends
Toil Land Care
Toil Land Care LLC offers targeted grazing to aid in the reduction of invasive, nuisance, and unwanted vegetation. This process involves a herd of goats, contained within a pulsing electrical fence, which consumes all available foliage, inhibiting the plants ability to photosynthesize. This forces the plant to use its stored energy contained in it roots to re-leaf. This leaves the plant open for weather conditions, seasonal shifts, insects, pathogens, or other animals to cause further disruption in its growing pattern. This also provides a cleared area for further stem removal of the target species.
