Land & Brush Clearing in Cutten, CA

Cutten and Ridgewood grew up inside second-growth redwood country, and the trees never left. Full-size redwoods and firs stand inside fence lines all through the neighborhood, sharing small lots with houses, garages, and swing sets. It makes for one of the prettiest neighborhoods in the county, and some of its most technical tree work.

How land & brush clearing goes in Cutten

Most Cutten clearing is one of three jobs: a back lot gone to blackberry and western hemlock sprouts, a site being readied for a shop, an ADU, or a house pad, or a fence line and pasture edge reclaimed from brush. The size sets the machines; the approach is the same. Redwood roots crowd every Cutten yard, and a stump here is usually right against a driveway, a fence post, or a neighbor's lawn.

Cutten sits just inland of the bay fog, wet enough to grow second-growth redwood at full speed and windy enough in winter to test every heavy limb. The Cutten hazard is redwood limb weight over roofs and Douglas firs that have died back and need to come down in pieces between two houses. Cutten is fifteen minutes from our McKinleyville base and on the daily route through Eureka.

When Cutten homeowners call for land & brush clearing

• A parcel near Cutten Elementary gone to blackberry, broom, or willow thicket.
• An old orchard or windbreak row coming out for replanting.
• A creek, a slope, or a big coast redwood on the parcel that needs to be kept and worked around.
• A fuel break needed between the house and the treeline.

Cutten and Ridgewood put full-size redwoods and firs inside small residential fence lines, sharing the yard with garages, decks, and swing sets, so nearly everything is rigged over a structure. Fire risk in these neighborhoods is low, but stacked redwood duff and dead limbs against a house still get cleared as part of any trimming job.

Working in Cutten

Most of our Cutten jobs are exactly that: a big conifer in a small yard. Redwood limb weight over roofs, firs that have died back and need to come down in pieces, hedges and ornamentals overdue for shaping, and stumps from long-gone trees still owning a corner of the lawn.

Around Cutten that means Ridgewood, Walnut Drive, Cutten Elementary, Sequoia Park, and the properties between. Full-size redwoods and firs on small residential lots, technical rigging over structures.
