Did You Know?

When having your property forestry mulched, it’s also an ideal time to limb up your trees. While we’re there, we can use our pole saw to remove the lower branches on your trees, from the ground to about 8–10 feet up. For residential neighborhoods, limbing the trees provides better clearance for vehicles or pedestrians. It also lets more sunshine reach the area surrounding trees, helping grass grow thicker. For heavily wooded locations, tree limbing reduces fire risk.

Our Additional Services

In addition to land clearing, we offer a number of services year-round. In the winter we provide crucial snow removal for increased visibility, reduced liability, structure protection, and to save you time and money. We also offer forestry mulching to control the growth of wooded areas and eliminate pests, as well as prevent erosion and improve soil health. Tree mulching is available for smaller scale projects to remove dead or downed trees, or to reduce the density and increase fire prevention.
