Land & Brush Clearing, at a glance

Land and brush clearing is taking an overgrown parcel, a building site, a fence line, or a pasture edge back to usable land: trees dropped and bucked, brush cut and chipped, stumps run through the grinder, and the trees worth keeping marked and protected. True Tree Service clears lots from a single overgrown backyard to several acres across Humboldt and Del Norte counties.

Land and brush clearing in Humboldt County ranges from a back lot behind a Eureka Victorian gone to blackberry and ivy, to building pads and shop sites on the ranch parcels of McKinleyville, to pasture edges reclaimed from willow along the Eel in Fortuna, to fuel breaks and cabin sites on rural acreage in Willow Creek. Ferndale's old windbreak rows come out so new ones can go in; Arcata's Bottoms and Fickle Hill lots get cleared for gardens, fences, and building sites.

We mark the keep trees first, chip on site, grind the stumps the project needs gone, and leave the site ready to work. Dry-season dates for heavy work, and a straight answer about what will grow back.
