Land Clearing
Land Clearing By Hand
Land clearing by hand is the least invasive way of cleaning up your property. The use of handheld equipment by our technicians is very selective and deliberate. This is a good option when thinning a small area to build a shed, workshop, house or other structure This creates a safe buffer to protect against fire hazards.
Mulching
When mulching, trees and brush are removed and the organic matter is returned back to the ground. By putting the mulch back where you have removed the vegetation, you provide a natural barrier that will assist in preventing the regrowth of invasive species. When using a mulcher for land clearing, the speed and efficiency to clear a large swath of land is undeniable.
