Thanks everybody for the replies! I messaged about goats but they didn't reply. My workman would trim or shear the hillside for about $200. I'm looking at doing this bit by bit. We started on clearing the side yards when some landscaping company warned about unlicensed contractors. By the NV Contractors' Board attorney, a workman is only a workman for jobs paying less than $1,000. That scared me, so I'm looking for other labor to clear out the weeds and grasses that we began work on clearing. I upped my budget to $10,000. I want to be fully legal. So it costs me five time more, but I guess for union labor or what. I put out ads and sent messages. I'm probably going to get a home equity loan. I even asked my realtor to see about trying to sell the property, and see if there's a cheaper home that I can move into with no yard work like mine presently.
I'm stressed out and having a mental condition at the same time as all of this. Hard to think, but some ideas here. The landscaping companies are pretty busy and some aren't taking new accounts. On pavers company I think said that they'd do it all from scratch for $6 a sq. ft. but I have to talk to them again. I have to call or wait to talk to a lot of companies and people tomorrow. It can be cheaper or more. I found a better rate for a home equity loan at US Bank, and I will finish with my mortgage payments in 2020. I can pay off the home equity or landscape company loan by then, with the extra money that I'll have, I hope.
I have to see a bunch of doctors, and hopefully they'll help. This might get done, depending if I can find reliable labor at $20/hour. That the pavers company would do all of it from scratch, that sounded great. I'll likely be dead in a few years, so it goes. Anybody about Reno, NV, wants to direct a pro to me, feel welcome to send them.
