Good work! My friend used them and raved about them. Great stuff. Our backyard will need them soon read more

I would give them 5 stars, except for the fact that this is now 2 years in a row that they allowed their goats to demolish our geraniums and other plantings in a part of the University Mound Reservoir that they should have fenced off so the goats couldn't eat them. They did a great job of getting rid of our weeds on the hillsides though. read more

We contracted City Grazing to help us with the Jumanji backyard of weeds. Genevieve is super responsive and great to work with along with her team. We had 5 precious goat friends for the week. They also were kind enough to bring us the sweeter goats so our toddler would have an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! Her team: David and Kevin came back to pick up the goats and they were also so sweet and considerate in helping us clean up and bring the goats through our house. Posting before and after photos! read more

City Grazing brought out 8 goats to clear our overgrown backyard (80ft x 100ft) with 16 over 110ft Eucalyptus trees. The goats cleared everything edible. They didn't eat the bark or large branches (I didn't expect them too) but ate just about everything else. I also did some front and side yard trimming and the goats gave happy beats as they munched it all up. The herd was quiet and our neighbors enjoyed watching the goats moving about. Genevieve and her staff are a joy to work with. So long as you have a fenced or fenceable area enjoy the quiet company of some super friendly goats. I highly recommend City Grazing! read more

We have a hillside that goes down to a creek and gets overgrown w/ foxtails and thistles every year. Thanks to City Grazing, our brush management is under control. They are easy to work with, the herders are fantastic and friendly, and the goats do a better job than any weed-whacker (and they're much more pleasant to have around)! We have used them for the last two years and will continue to use this environmentally friendly, natural method of brush control. :) read more

I needed my San Lorenzo backyard cleared. I had weeds and morning glory ivy alllllll over. Genevieve brought me Wakanda and Wombat. The most friendly goats ever. In 5 weeks the two cleared my yard. I would watch them munching away each day and they would play and chase each other around my yard! It was the cutest thing ever. They also fertilized nicely. One of the goats had a little eye problem and the staff promptly attended to his needs and checked on him daily. These goats are great workers! I highly recommend hiring a few goats to clear your brush. You'll pay the same for a gardner but these guys are cuter!!! I can't wait to need them again! The staff was great... care so much for these adorable animals! They are spoiled ! read more

My wife and I had a less than satisfactory experience with City Grazing. I'll start out by saying that Genevieve couldn't have been nicer, however, after making an appointment to receive an estimate, we were disappointed when no one arrived at the scheduled time. A phone call to CG was made and they had no recollection of our previous call setting a date/time. Genevieve was nice enough to arrive a short time later and we made arrangements to have several goats clear our yard. About 15 mins before our scheduled appointment we received a call advising CG would be unable to deliver. Another appt made and another call, this time 5 mins before the scheduled appt, advising CG would have to cancel again. Needless to say we weren't thrilled with the service. Not a big deal, we are free to seek services elsewhere and hope others have a better experience. Come to find out today my wife's Yelp acct was cancelled after she posted a negative review of City Grazing. Nothing in her review but the facts. Wonder how that happened?!?! No wonder the ratings for CG are so good..... read more

I was disappointed with their service. The goats escaped several times and there was no one on site to tend to them. The goats ate decorative landscape and the employees ignored our request for some minor financial token of apology. The way the goats were kept in the grazing area was also an issue as they weren't sectioned off in small areas to insure a complete grazing of an area. Rather they were given a large area where they could ignore less tasty but important areas we needed cleared for fire mitigation purposes. read more

Genevieve and Trevor were great. The goats were efficient to say the least. They finished faster than expected and they came quickly to pick them up. Trevor even used a machete to clean up the plants that the goats won't eat. Thank you City Grazing!! read more

City Grazing - Our grazed hillside! - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - San Francisco, California

We just hired goats from City Grazing to eat up and clean up our back yard and it has been fantastic! Our yard was a mess of blackberry bramble, ivy, and weeds. We had just bought the house so we didn't even know what our backyard really looked like. We couldn't see it. Now, after the help of City Grazing's charming goats, we can see our yard and walk around our yard. They ate up all the bramble, all the ivy, all of everything - except the trees. Here are my top 5 reasons why city grazing rocks: 1. Their goats are so sweet and cuddly! We have 2 little kids and everyday we were out with the goats. Some of the goats shied away, but a few would come right up and ask for a pet. My kids could sit down next to them and put their arms around them. It was really special. Our favorite was named "Double Stuff". I think his mom's name is Oreo. 2. The goats work hard all day and they don't even know they're working. 3. You don't have to cart any cut greens away. They just eat it all up and then fertilize your soil. The goats are good for our garden. 4. Genevieve and Trevor are super easy to work with, professional, and efficient. 5. Our weeds are gone! Now, we've just got to figure out what to do with that backyard. Thank you City Grazing! read more

Just enjoyed six goats as they cleared our backyard in Bernal Heights. They were quiet and efficient and it was just so cool having them that we didn't want them to leave. They made quick work of our backyard, which is now a blank slate for us to build on or replant. So much easier then cutting/digging/hauling. I would totally recommend this company to anyone who needs some clearing work done. read more

Hired goats to clear Richmond District backyard, that was full of ivy, blackberry, bamboo, and weeds. Have not seen my back fence for about a decade.Genevieve, from City Crazing was very professional and very knowledgeable about the foliage in my backyard during the site survey. Had them in the backyard for 6 days and cleared everything (except for thick sticks). The goats were pleasant to my 9 year old son and the neighborhood kids. The goats were no annoyance to the neighbors and were quiet the whole time. They were like pets. It became very pleasant to see them just "chillin" and "eating" in the backyard. We miss them and my son has asked to go visit them. The price of renting goats were far cheaper than having gardeners work back there. An overall great experience and great value for the money! read more

We hired city grazing to clear some very dense brush behind our house. They were an absolute joy to work with. They brought in 5 goats. Set up fencing and we just had to make sure water bucket was full. They were very quiet and efficient. They cleared all the brush to the ground. They were really fun to watch and we got to know them. We actually miss them. This is a great sustainable and green way to clear brush. Plus lots of free fertilizer! Genevieve takes really good care of them. They are like family and it shows. read more

Loved seeing the goats hard at work and happily eating away the hillside brush near my office. What a great idea!

This little company is so cute - they rent goats as an alternative to your lawn mower or brush removal service. Today they had about 14 goats in the Presidio, munching on the unruly foliage, one branch at a time. The 'Goat Whisperer' said the goats are available for childrens' parties, etc. From their website: " Welcome to City Grazing, San Francisco's alternative, weed-eating solution! Our herd of goats are organically fed, will eat your weeds and entertain your children!" How can one not love this company? read more

Recently, we had City Grazing's goats clear an overgrown hillside on our HOA property. Genevieve came out to walk the property and give us an estimate. This was followed by a formal proposal which the board voted to approve. Overall, it was a very positive experience, although not without drama; one of the goats got its foot caught in a tree and started screaming; homeowners quickly called the emergency number posted on the goats' corral and Genevieve sent someone out to free the goat, which in the meantime had managed to free itself. When the goats were moved from one area of the hillside to another some of them got sick from eating an unknown substance and all the goats had to be removed. Genevieve sent off plant samples to UC Davis, but the results were inconclusive, so she used larger goats to finish the job without incident. I was impressed at how Genevieve quickly addressed situations as they came up in a professional manner. I will recommend that the HOA board use City Grazing to clear other areas of the hillside when we do our spring weed abatement. read more

Who wouldn't want to hire a herd of goats to mow down your weeds, and, um, fertilize while they work? It's all organic, so no need to ever use an herbicide that damages soil, plants, insects, pets, and even you. These goats will also provide a great diversion for you and your friends as you watch them do their thing. Kids love them. Thanks to our neighbor City Grazing, India Basin Neighborhood Association's (IBNA) Annual Egg Hunt is a huge hit. City Grazing always donates some goats for the event, where they eat weeds in India Basin Shoreline Park, the kids feed and pet them and have a chance to learn about farm animals. Did you know goats are the only animal with rectangle-shaped pupils? Coool.... read more

We a great experience. I hired City Grazing as a "green" way of ridding our hillside of weeds and brush. Trevor came to the house to inspect the hillside and determine how many goats would be needed to the job. City Grazing put up a temporary fence around the property and brought in 9 goats! They went to work immediately eating the overgrown vegetable garden that went to seed first. Within 15 minutes there was nothing left! Awesome! They then went to work on the hillside. We were told the goats would eat what they liked the best first, and then would eat everything else. Boy were they right! We had the goats for a total of 7 days and I could not be more happy with the results! They even ate the pine tree up as far as they could reach. I was very sad when they came to pick them up. I had made friends with a couple of them. Very gentle animals. We even had a mama and her baby. I highly recommend this company. Thank you! read more

We had nothing but a great experience from start to finish. Geneveive and Trevor were wonderful and the goats were of course the stars. 2 mamas and 4 babies ate the thorns and nasty burrs as if they were candy and my daughter got to hang out with goats we were sorry to see them go. read more
