D & A Hauling Services

Around Ventura County, D & A Hauling Services is one of those small operators people keep in their phone because they just make the junk removed problem… go away. Donovon (most folks just say Don) runs it like a hands-on outfit, not a call center. You call, he answers. You need it quick, he shows up quick. That kind of responsive, easy to deal with rhythm that matters when you’ve got a backyard pile growing legs.

What I hear over and over is “on time,” “timely and dependable,” and “no fuss.” And that’s not fluff—junk removal gets messy, gates are tight, loads are awkward, and plans change. Yet Don still gets tagged as professional, friendly, and efficient. Plus multiple people say he goes above and beyond—hauling *and* cleaning up the backyard, not just grabbing the obvious stuff and rolling out. You ever had a crew leave broom-sweeps “for later”? Yeah, doesn’t sound like his style.

Pricing comes up too, and that’s usually where hauling companies get side-eyed. But folks keep calling it “very reasonable prices” and a “fair price” vibe, which tells me he’s probably giving clear numbers and not playing the “we’ll see when we load it” game. And he pairs that with excellent customer service—helpful, responsive, the kind of guy people recommend to co-workers and friends because the job didn’t turn into a hassle.

However, these reviews read like a one-man (or small-crew) operation, so if you’re expecting a fleet with five trucks staging at once, that’s a different lane. But if you want quick, professional service, hard working hands, and a cleanup that actually looks finished when they’re done—why wouldn’t you call D&A first?

In this line of work, reputation travels faster than a dump run, and Don’s name keeps coming up for being fast, friendly, and dependable—those are the ones that last.
