Know your lines
Before you hire anyone to shred, mulch or fence, walk the boundary. A GPS mapping app with parcel layers shows where your property ends while you are standing in the brush, and helps you give contractors exact areas to clear.
Watch the gate
Most rural parcels have no Wi-Fi at the gate. A cellular solar camera sends alerts over a data plan instead. Expect to pay for that plan separately.
Keep the equipment running
Between professional shredding visits, keeping blades, belts and spare parts on hand for your own mower or shredder saves a trip to town in the middle of a job.
