Land Clearing

The first cut.
Usually the first job.

Land clearing is the first call for most of our new customers. Somebody buys a rural property and the back pasture is a solid wall of brush. Somebody's trying to put up a shop and can't even walk the site to stake it. Somebody needs to reduce fire fuel before summer. Whatever the reason, clearing is where most Iron & Earth projects begin — and once we've got a clean site to work with, the next call is usually grading or drainage.

What we clear

• Blackberry & scotch broom. The valley's two most hated invaders. We mow them flat with the brush cutter — no burn pile, no hand-cutting for a month, no chemicals unless you ask.
• Small to medium brush and saplings. Anything up to about 3–4 inches in diameter goes through the cutter. Bigger trunks get pulled with the excavator.
• Overgrown pasture and fence lines. Reclaim the acreage you already own.
• Residential lots. Clear a site so a contractor can walk it, survey it, or start building.
• Fire fuel reduction. Create defensible space around structures and clean up ground fuel.

What we don't do

We're not a logging outfit. Timber harvest, commercial log removal, and big-diameter tree felling aren't our business — we'll point you to a licensed timber faller or logger for that. We clear brush, undergrowth, small trees, and get the site ready.

How the job actually goes

For most clearing work, Jeff walks the property first so he can see what's in there — fence lines, stumps, wet spots, slopes, old equipment hidden in the brush. Then we schedule a start date, show up with the machines, and work the lot from the outside in. Debris gets piled where you want it (burn pile, haul-off pile, or chip pile), and we leave the ground walkable and workable.

After the clear

Most customers pair clearing with one or two other services: pulling the stumps that are left, rough-grading the newly cleared ground, or cutting in access roads. We quote all of it as one job so you're not getting billed three times for three separate trips.
