Land Clearing FAQs
How do you dispose of the cleared trees and brush?
We aim for zero waste. Marketable timber is often sorted for loggers, while brush and stumps are typically processed. We can grind debris into wood chips for use on-site as erosion control or haul it away for off-site recycling, depending on your project specs.
Can you clear land during the winter?
Yes, winter is often an excellent time for land clearing in Vermont. Frozen ground allows our heavy feller bunchers and skidders to access wet or soft areas without causing excessive soil disturbance or rutting.
What equipment do you use for clearing?
We use a mix of heavy iron to get the job done fast. This includes excavators with hydraulic thumbs for stacking, bulldozers with root rakes for grubbing, and forestry mulchers for clearing underbrush without disturbing the topsoil.
