Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you clear land in Imlay City during the wet season?
- While wet conditions can make clearing more challenging, our tracked equipment is designed to operate with minimal ground pressure. However, for best results and to minimize soil compaction, clearing during drier periods or when the ground is frozen is often recommended.
- What happens to the wood and brush after clearing in Imlay City?
- We offer several options, including on-site mulching (the most eco-friendly), piling and burning (where permitted), or complete hauling and disposal. Most clients choose forestry mulching as it enriches the soil and eliminates haul-off costs.
- Do I need to be home while the land is being cleared in Imlay City?
- No, as long as our crews have clear access to the property and the project boundaries are well-marked, you do not need to be present during the clearing process.
