Land Clearing & Brush Removal

When your property is too thick to walk through, Virgil brings in equipment that can. From the first tree to the last stump, he clears it out and cleans it up.

  • Tree and brush removal for homesites, pastures, and driveways.
  • Stump handling options based on your budget and plans.
  • Debris hauled and stacked where you want it — or taken off-site.

Forestry Mulching

Instead of pushing trees into piles, forestry mulching grinds them into a layer of mulch that helps slow erosion and regrowth.

  • Cleaner finish with less ground disturbance than traditional dozing.
  • Great for trails, firebreaks, and around existing structures.
  • Helps the land settle naturally while you plan your next steps.

Building Pads & High-Limb Removal

A good build starts with a good foundation. Virgil preps building pads and clear high limbs so your barn, shop, or home project gets a solid start.

  • Pad clearing, basic grading, and prep for barns, shops, and homes.
  • Safe high-limb removal using skid-steer saw attachments.
  • Practical, no-nonsense approach tailored to rural properties.

Straight Answers to Common Questions

Most folks just want to know what it costs, how long it takes, and what happens to all that debris. Here are a few quick answers.

How much does land clearing cost?

Pricing depends on site size, density, access, and what needs to leave the property. Virgil will walk the site with you and give an honest estimate.

Do you handle both clearing and mulching?

Yes. Virgil can do traditional clearing, forestry mulching, or a mix based on what makes sense for your land.

Do I need to be on-site during the work?

Not always, but we like to walk it with you at least once so we’re all on the same page about what stays and what goes.
