What it is

Not every job is a clean sweep. Sometimes you want a park-like stand of good trees, a view of the lake or the ridgeline, or a little more light and air around the house.

We take out the brush, saplings and junk trees and leave the healthy ones — so it looks like a managed forest, not a clear-cut.

What's included

  • Understory and sapling thinning
  • Removing junk and dead trees
  • Limbing up keeper trees
  • Opening sight lines and views
  • Light and airflow around homes
  • Final walkthrough

Ideal for

  • Mountain and lake view lots
  • Park-like wooded yards
  • Homesites you want to keep shaded
  • Hunting land with clear shooting lanes
  • Cutting fire fuel without losing trees

Do I pick the trees?

Yes. We flag them together. If you're not sure, we'll give you our take on what's healthy.

Can you open a lake or mountain view?

Yes. Lake lots may come with shoreline rules — we'll work within whatever your permits allow.

Will the remaining trees be damaged?

We work carefully around keeper trees and stay off their trunks.

Is it slower than full clearing?

A little, since there's more care involved. Your quote will reflect that.
