Where are you located? I know someone out along the Hamakua coast who is excellent at clearing around existing plants and getting rid of guinea grass, Reznor grass and elephant grass. I think he's around $20 an hour for the clearing sort of work and $15 an hour or so for maintenance work.
From what I've found out by asking around, if you fence the guinea grass and add some wool variety of sheep with either one donkey, llama or alpaca, they will protect the sheep from predators. The wool sheep "graze" and aren't as likely to eat things such as fruit trees while the hair sheep are more browsers like goats and like to nibble shrubs and trees.
