About Ben
Ben grew up predominantly in a rural part of Santa Cruz County and operated farm equipment from the age of fourteen; tending several acres of ecologically sensitive agricultural land in a riparian corridor. He later studied landscape design and architecture as well as engineering technology (drafting) for three years at Cabrillo College, U.C. Berkeley Extension, and Sierra College.
Ben managed McPherson’s Nursery in Grass Valley and a retail garden department in Hawaii. He won three Blue Ribbon awards and one Best of Show award for garden design at the Santa Cruz County Fair. He improved and maintained rural properties as a handyman and groundskeeper for over 15-years before opening Ben’s Zap Haul in 2016.
One side of his family operated a well-loved Grass Valley landscaping nursery for over thirty years, and the other operated a rural land development business–installing and maintaining roads, fire breaks, and building pads, clearing brush and performing fire safety maintenance–in You Bet (Lawton Way, and Eowana Lane are namesakes) for multiple.
Ben holds a Bachelors degree from U.C. Santa Cruz and an Associates degree from Cabrillo College in Aptos, and enjoys recreating with his amazing “rescue” dog Marley in nature, and social dance.
TESTIMONIALS
We’re so fortunate to work with an amazing community. We’ve received awesome feedback from our customers, and we look forward to earning your repeat business. Here are some of our recent Yelp!, Google, And Facebook reviews!
Of the four haulers I called in the area, Ben called me back within minutes. We spoke briefly about his services and schedule, and I followed up with a photo of the junk. He quickly responded with an estimate and we arranged a time to meet shortly after. He arrived on-time, communicated wonderfully, and offered a fair price for the services. Thanks Ben!

Ben is such a kind person and so easy to work with! He has helped me several times now with cleaning out my family’s home and is professional, hard-working, reliable, and most of all, a very kind and honest person! If I could give 6 stars I would!

Ben regraded and graveled my driveway and parking area. I live off a long winding road in Nevada County which I feared could complicate things. He figured it out and did a fantastic job. I couldn’t have asked for it to look better.
– Rich L.
Called last minute during a move and Ben came right out the same day. Very professional and thankfully accepts credit cards. Hauled off a monster couch and some other stuff I had no time or muscle to take to the dump. Love that he donates anything re-saleable to the local animal rescue too!
