Many of Georgia’s historic cemeteries are disappearing under English ivy, privet, briars and vines. Mowers and string trimmers can chip old stones, and herbicide isn’t welcome on sacred ground. Goats are a gentle alternative: they browse the overgrowth around headstones, fences and family plots so caretakers and descendants can see the graves again. We’ve cleared historic cemeteries in metro Atlanta and would love to help with yours.

Why goats work for cemeteries

• Gentle around stones: no blades swinging near fragile markers.

• No herbicide on sacred or historic ground.

• Reveals what’s hidden: clearing vines and brush often uncovers markers and plot borders.

• Community-friendly: volunteers, families and historical societies love being part of a goat clearing day.

Who we work with

• Churches caring for church cemeteries.

• Historical societies and friends groups restoring forgotten burial grounds.

• Cities and counties responsible for public cemeteries. See municipal goat grazing.

• Families caring for private family plots.

What it costs

• Most jobs run $800–3,000, depending on size, density and access.

• Ongoing care: maintenance plans with monthly payments keep a restored cemetery from growing back over.
