Clearing Overgrown Land – My Experience

   / Clearing Overgrown Land – My Experience #11  
Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a quick story from a recent job. A client called me to clear 3 acres of land that hadn’t been touched in over 10 years. It was full of thick brush, fallen trees, and vines everywhere — you could barely walk through it.

I used my skid steer with a forestry mulcher to start clearing it up. First, I had to make paths just to see what we were working with. Then I focused on removing the heavy brush while keeping the healthy trees.

By the end of the job, the land looked completely different. The client said, “I didn’t even know I had this much space!” Moments like that make the hard work worth it.

I’d love to hear from others:

What’s the toughest land you’ve cleared?

What tools or machines do you like best?

Any tips or lessons you’ve learned?

Let’s share our experiences and help each other out!
Nice job ! Get any pics ? I did one years ago but the grade was too much for machines, which I didn't have at that point anyway. All chain saw and hand work. Made a dramatic difference and opened up a view the owner didn't know was there.
