Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a 'Critical Dune' area and how does it affect land clearing?
- Critical Dune areas are protected by state law (Part 353 of NREPA). Clearing in these zones requires specific permits from EGLE and often mandates low-impact methods to prevent sand stabilization issues. We are experienced in working within these areas.
- How can I restore a lake view that has been overgrown with brush?
- Our brush clearing and selective forestry mulching services are perfect for restoring views. We can remove invasive and low-value growth while preserving mature trees that frame your sightlines.
- Are there specific tree removal ordinances in Benzie County townships?
- Yes, several townships have specific ordinances regarding tree removal, especially near the shoreline or on steep slopes. We check all local regulations before starting any clearing project.
- Is forestry mulching safe for sloped properties near Crystal Lake?
