Blackberry and Land Clearing for Real Estate Sale

ABOVE: Here is a "before" picture. Luc cleared a 1/2 acre area for the homeowners so that they could sell the lot for a better price. The excavator did the work of 3 men (one week +) in just 2 days and increased the value of the land. Now the potential buyers can really see what they are buying.

ABOVE: this picture shows how clean the excavator/Luc can leave the ground.
