Monticello, FL · Free Estimates Most calls start the same way. Somebody has land that grew up thick and wants it open again. It could be a wooded tract, an overgrown pasture, hunting land or a lot where a house is going. We clear it with an excavator and a skid steer.
Some land does better with the brush ground up and left where it stands. The skid steer mulcher covers open, dry acreage. We also run a mulching head on the excavator boom. The reach lets it work ditch banks, creek banks and low wet ground from firm footing above.
Once the brush is down, the dirt work belongs to the same company. We pull stumps and roots, dig ponds, build the road in, cut drainage ditches and haul the piles off. We are based in Monticello and cover about a 40-mile radius, most of it rural. Estimates on the property are free.
Meet EM Land ServicesTwo machines do most of the work. A tracked skid steer carries the forestry mulching head across open ground. A compact excavator runs a bucket, a thumb or its own mulching head, so the same machine clears the brush and then does the dirt work. Gooseneck trailers and a dump trailer move them and haul the debris off.
We run a mulching head on the skid steer and on the excavator. The skid steer covers open ground fast. The excavator reaches out over banks and wet spots that will not carry a machine.
