We work across the county, with most of our work on rural and wooded acreage, including:

• Western Spotsylvania and Lake Anna: Partlow and the properties around Lake Anna

• Central and southern Spotsylvania: Spotsylvania and Thornburg

• Larger properties near Fredericksburg

We also work in the neighboring counties of Stafford, Caroline and Culpeper.

• Forestry mulching: one machine cuts and grinds brush and small trees in place and spreads it back over the ground as mulch.

• Invasive species removal: clearing autumn olive, tree of heaven, Bradford pear, multiflora rose, kudzu and other invasives from fields and woods.

• Land clearing: traditional clearing down to clean ground, with stumps and roots pulled, for a new home, barn, arena or driveway.

• Tree removal: large, dead and hazardous trees, trees near homes and storm cleanup, with our own tree crews and climbers.

• Excavating and erosion and sediment control: ponds, driveways, farm roads, culverts, drainage and grading, plus the silt fence and other controls your plan calls for.

Autumn olive, tree of heaven, Bradford pear, multiflora rose and kudzu take over fields, lot edges and the woods along roads and streams. Forestry mulching clears them quickly and leaves a layer of mulch that protects the soil.

Spotted lanternfly: Spotsylvania County isn't on the state's list of counties where reporting is no longer required, so if you see one, report it with the state's Invasive Species Reporting Tool, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Tree of heaven is its favorite host, and Virginia lists it as a noxious weed, according to Virginia Cooperative Extension. Our Spotted Lanternfly page shows how to spot and control it.

We clear almost all invasives without chemicals. Tree of heaven is the one exception, and our Invasive Species Removal page explains why and what to do about it.

• More than 2,500 square feet: Spotsylvania is a Chesapeake Bay Act locality, so any land disturbance over 2,500 square feet needs an erosion and sediment control permit unless it's exempt, according to Spotsylvania County. The county lists its exemptions.

• Stream buffers: on lots with a Resource Protection Area, a 100-foot vegetated buffer must generally be kept along streams and wetlands. Property owners can modify it for reasonable sight lines, access paths, general woodlot management and shoreline erosion control, according to the county's comprehensive plan. Talk to the county before any work in a buffer.

• Lake Anna shoreline: owners next to Dominion Energy's shoreline must follow Dominion's guidelines and apply for approval before starting any work, according to Dominion Energy.

During the estimate, we'll let you know what the law says for your property. The property owner is responsible for getting any permit or plan that's needed, and we install the silt fence and other controls it calls for.

"Very happy with the work completed at our home in Spotsylvania County from July 11-13, 2023. Kevin provided us a great rate and timeframe for completion of the job we were looking to get done. We knew 3 days was cutting it close in terms of meeting what we wanted but he pushed through the heat and dust to provide fantastic results within the timeframe we established." —Z. Mckissick, Spotsylvania County, VA

"The owner was polite, professional and fair." —C. Walter, King George, VA (neighboring King George County)

Can you clear a lot for a new home? Yes. For a building site, we usually combine methods: traditional clearing where the house and driveway will go, and forestry mulching around it.

Can you clear near the water at Lake Anna? Shoreline work needs Dominion Energy's approval first, and stream buffers have their own rules. We'll walk the lot with you and plan the work around what's allowed.

Do I have to burn the brush? No. Forestry mulching leaves no brush piles, so there's nothing to burn or haul. That also means no waiting on Virginia's 4 PM Burning Law, which limits outdoor burning from February 15 to April 30, according to the Virginia Department of Forestry.

How long does a job take? It always comes back to the site conditions: how dense the forest is, the size of the trees, the slope and ground, access and the weather. A common rule of thumb in the industry is about an acre a day. Production mulching, where the goal is clearing the land as quickly as possible, is the fastest. A park-like setting, where we keep selected trees and leave a cleaner, more detailed finish, takes additional time. We'll walk your property and give you an estimated timeline along with your written price.

What does it cost? Every property is different, so we price each job after walking it. The price depends on how thick the brush is, the size of the trees, slope, access and total acreage. You'll get a written price before any work starts.
