Q: How much does fence line clearing cost in Crystal Lake, IL?

Fence line clearing cost in Crystal Lake and McHenry County depends on the length of the fence row, density of brush and invasive shrubs, and whether debris hauling is included. Ivan's Landscaping prices by the project after a free on-site estimate. Call (815) 276-9107 for a fast response.

Q: Will you damage my fence during brush clearing?

We've used Ivan's Landscaping for the past two years. Last year, we had an issue with eight evergreens and two trees that were dying due to a pest infestation. Ivan and his team promptly removed the affected trees and replaced them with healthy new ones. During the same visit, they also completed our spring cleanup, spread mulch, and planted new shrubs. We were extremely pleased with the results. Our yard looks fantastic again. I would highly recommend Ivan's Landscaping, and have already done so to friends and neighbors.

Thomas Gallichio 2 weeks ago

They did some lawn removal, mulched, cut outs around trees, topped garden boxes with compost, soft scaping of rocks and stepping stones. They did a good job, crew was professional and cleaned up after. The price wasn't the lowest but we believe the value was worth the cost.
