Iron Horse Contracting of NWLA LLC is a small company in Keithville, Louisiana that is owned and operated by Robert (Bill) Gordon and his wife Cheryl. The company offers services that include tree trimming & removal, stump grinding, backhoe and bobcat work. All work is performed by and under the supervision of the owner. This allows us to provide an unrivaled level of service to our clients.
Bill Gordon has been working in the home improvement industry since 1984 and began a career in law enforcement in 1999. Around 2000 he began buying and maintaining rental properties to supplement his income. He soon began buying equipment to maintain these properties and found that working with that equipment was something that he enjoyed doing.
In early 2013 Bill Gordon convinced his loving wife to allow him to retire from his career in law enforcement and purchase a Carlton Stump Grinder. Soon after this machine was added to the fleet of equipment, jobs from 1 to 100 stumps started pouring in.
Our Carlton Stump Grinder is a unique self propelled machine that allows us to get to stumps in tight places and small backyards. It has an engine that is large enough to compete with the larger machines that are pulled behind a vehicle.
Clients soon began requesting that we trim and remove their trees along with grinding their stumps, so in 2014 Bill took and successfully passed the Arborist exam administered by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture & Forestry, Horticulture Commission in order to obtain a license to legally perform these services.
Other services include: 24 hour emergency service for storm damage, lot & yard cleanup & hauling, forestry mowing, large animal burials, drainage projects, house pads, driveways, final grading and seeding for new construction or renovations, etc. We are constantly adding equipment and attachments to expand our services and are affiliated with a network of competent professionals in other fields so if we are unable to provide a particular service we may be able to recommend someone that is reputable.
You can feel comfortable dealing with our company and feel confident in knowing that the person you talk to on the phone is the same person who will come to your home for an estimate and also perform the work at your home.
