LOT CLEARING
Root Raking
There are two main types of land clearing: forestry mulching and root raking. Forestry mulching is the more affordable choice for opening wooded property while leaving the soil and organic material in place. Root raking is the more intensive option for property owners who want clean, bare dirt.
Root raking removes vegetation, roots, and woody debris from a selected area or the entire property. It is ideal when the goal is to create usable ground for a building area, yard, or other future development.
Complete residential and commercial lot clearing for new construction, property development, and land prep.
BRUSH REMOVAL & MAINTENANCE
Ongoing property maintenance and overgrowth control for HOAs, property owners, and rural land.

I use a John Deere 333P compact track loader—a powerful, high-flow machine equipped for forestry mulching, root raking, grading, driveway work, and property cleanup. Because I personally handle every project, there is no confusion between the estimate and the work performed. You get clear communication, careful equipment operation, and someone who takes responsibility for the result.
