Why Cordova
Your outdoor handymen, with the right equipment
Most fire mitigation crews stop at the trees. We also handle the grubbing, dirt work, cleanup and outdoor projects that come with owning land in Douglas County, so you don't have to hire three companies to finish one job.
We walk the property with you, explain what we'd do and why, and give you a clear written estimate. Then we show up when we said we would.
“We do what we say we're gonna do, when we say we're gonna do it.”
