- Family-owned & insured

DrouCo has been serving Amherst, NH families for over 50 years, and yard waste removal is one of the calls we get most often here. Amherst's village green and the surrounding colonials require a careful touch — many of these homes have been in families for decades, and cleanouts often involve estate work or downsizing. We move quickly without leaving a mark on lawns or landscaping. Whether you're in the Village or out past Baboosic Lake area, we know the route — and we've been doing this work for three generations.
We remove brush piles, fallen branches, leaves, hedge trimmings, sod, mulch, small stumps, and storm debris. Common after a strong New Hampshire nor'easter or ice storm. Single-property cleanups or full-season debris haul-aways — we handle it all.

Why Amherst calls us
Three generations, one phone number

That's not a marketing line — it's how we've stayed in business this long.
