How Tree Care Providers Take Care Of Overgrown Land

When businesses or individuals have issues with overgrowth on their property, they seek out tree care companies. “Overgrowth” includes dense thickets of grasses, weeds, shrubs, and trees and bushes. Tree care services – including quality forestry mulching and land clearing – are necessary to make property accessible and manageable again.

At Timber Works, we offer services to deal with overgrown plots of land while sustaining its health and attractiveness. Our team of professionals have in-depth knowledge of arboriculture and are trained to identify issues and solutions with any tree species. Trust our team to support the beauty and health of your landscape.

Below, we list a few ways that a tree care service takes care of overgrown plots of land:

Methods of Maintaining Overgrown Land

  1. Land Clearing

The highest-impact approach that a tree care company can perform on a plot of overgrown land is land clearing. Land clearing involves the removal of all brambles, thickets, stumps, and trees from that land, usually for construction or residential additions. One might also do so for easier access and movement within their property.

This service also benefits the landscape, as overcrowded forests can stunt the growth of young trees and make them vulnerable to disease and infestation. Of course, different degrees of land clearing exist, from completely removing vegetation off a swathe of land to merely thinning it out. 

  1. Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching is another form of land clearing, as well as a specific tree care practice. It is a low-cost tree care service because of how there is little labor involved. This service works best for heavily-forested areas that have too many trees, as well as overgrown thickets and brambles on the forest floor. 

The mulched trees and undergrowth is cut, ground, and utilized as biomass that helps fertilize and improve the soil quality around your landscape, as well as a source of nutrients for the trees and plants that remain.

  1. Trail Creation

Trail creation is another tree care service that helps landowners deal with overgrown plots in their way. It involves a more concentrated use of a mulching machine, cutting and grinding a path through and around a piece of land to clear a way for guests and inhabitants to travel through. 

This is most often done as a service for local parks and nature trails but can be performed for individuals with large acres of forested land. 

  1. Bush Hogging

Finally, we discuss bush hogging, or more specifically called, “rotary cutting.” This service is different from others in that it utilizes a rotary cutter, which is a heavy-duty mowing deck that is towed behind a tractor and is most often performed on lands that are flat and haven’t been maintained for around 2 to 3 years. 

The cutter quickly cuts through large plots of flat land that is overgrown with high grasses and weeds, thorn bushes, shrubs, as well as small trees as thick as 3 inches in diameter. Bush hogging is great for clearing up densely overgrown clearings, as well as maintaining recently-cleared grounds to prevent overgrowth.

Timber Works recently removed a tree that was threatening the foundation of one of our buildings.This was my first experience with Timber Works, and it will not be the last. Their people were amazing. They, were friendly, they were courteous, they patiently explained every step and left the whole area incredibly clean. If they could get 10 stars, they would easily deserve them. I recommend them without reservation - they are the best!

I have used Timber Works twice for tree removal/trimming. They are prompt, professional, fairly priced, kind, and hard working. They were great sports (both times!) about having an audience of interested children, and were so nice to them— even to the point of asking them how long they wanted the cut branches, because my boys requested fort building material😊. I recommend Timber Works to anyone looking for tree removal/trimming/information, and will continue to!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Elizabeth for the review, but also the business! We are so glad that your kiddos were able to benefit from the work done at your property as well. We look forward to working with you in the future and appreciate your recommendation!

Multiple very large trees that needed removal to avoid hitting my house and neighboring house. Trees were not easy to access given location of patio that I wanted protected. Obtained multiple quotes for both price and approach to the job. Timber Works won on both criteria. Crew was great to work with. Four trees down with all trunks, limbs, and debris removed same day. They had all the right equipment for this job. The crew members were skilled and respectful. Highly recommend them.
Response from the owner:Thank you, John, for the kind review and business! It was our pleasure serving you and we hope to do so in the future!
