At MT Brushmore Land Services, we believe trust should be earned through performance — not upfront payments.
That’s why in most cases, we do not require a deposit before starting land clearing work.
In an industry where many companies ask for large upfront payments, we’ve chosen a different approach:
We let our work speak for itself.
Why We Don’t Require Deposits
1. We Have Confidence in Our Work
We know the quality we bring to every project.
Whether it’s forestry mulching, land clearing, pond renovation, right-of-way clearing, or site prep, we show up ready to work and deliver results that customers can see immediately.
We don’t believe customers should have to “take a gamble” before work even begins.
2. It Protects Property Owners
Unfortunately, the land clearing industry has its share of problems:
-
- Companies disappearing after taking deposits
-
- Jobs left unfinished
-
- Poor communication
-
- Delays that drag on for weeks or months
By not requiring upfront payments, we remove a major risk for our customers.
You pay for completed work — not promises.
3. It Keeps Us Accountable
A contractor who already has your money may not feel the same urgency to perform.
Our approach keeps us motivated to:
-
- Show up on time
-
- Finish efficiently
-
- Maintain communication
-
- Deliver quality work every day
Our reputation depends on customer satisfaction — and we take that seriously.
Why You Should Be Careful Hiring Companies Who Demand Large Deposits
Not every deposit request is a red flag, especially for custom materials or specialty projects. But when it comes to land clearing and forestry mulching, large upfront payments should make you ask questions.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Large Upfront Deposits Before Equipment Arrives
If a contractor wants thousands of dollars before equipment ever touches your property, proceed carefully.
Professional companies should have:
-
- Operating capital
-
- Fuel accounts
-
- Insurance
-
- Equipment readiness
-
- Established business systems
Pressure Tactics
Be cautious if you hear:
-
- “You must pay today to hold your spot.”
-
- “Prices go up tomorrow.”
-
- “I need fuel money first.”
Reliable companies don’t rely on pressure tactics.
No Written Agreement
Never hand over money without:
-
- A written quote
-
- Scope of work
-
- Payment terms
-
- Business information
-
- Insurance verification
