Services
Brush Clearing
Our brush clearing service uses excavator-mounted mulchers to cut vegetation up to 4 inches in diameter, including manzanita and poison oak. The process leaves coarse mulch to prevent erosion while preparing land for development or fire prevention. Ideal for residential lots, trails, and utility corridors.
Fire Fuel Reduction
We create defensible spaces by removing dense undergrowth and establishing fire breaks. This service reduces wildfire risks for properties in high-risk areas using low-ground-pressure machinery that preserves soil stability and minimizes environmental disruption.
Steep Slope Work
The Menzi Muck Excavator enables safe, efficient vegetation management on steep slopes and rough terrain. This specialized equipment outperforms conventional machines, making it ideal for challenging landscapes where traditional methods would be unsafe or ineffective.
Right of Way Clearing
We maintain clear access paths for utilities, roads, and recreational trails by removing overgrown vegetation. Our methods ensure long-term accessibility while complying with environmental regulations for sensitive areas like golf courses and public parks.
Defensible Space Clearance
This service creates strategic vegetation-free zones around properties to slow wildfire spread. We combine targeted brush removal with mulching techniques that enhance soil health while meeting local fire department clearance requirements for residential and commercial properties.
