Ranch Clearing

Many ranches are overgrown with Cedar or Mesquite. This overgrowth dramatically reduces the usability of the land. In the case of cedar it also robs your property of water that could be much better used. Valuable oak and other hardwood trees become invisible and are sometimes actually choked out by these overgrowths.

Removing the invasive trees will open up you land for productive use. Hunting will be improved by reducing hiding opportunities in the dense overgrowth. Your vistas and panorama will be improved when you can see the land and the beautiful hardwoods you may not even know you have.

Lane Clearing

When you have large tracts of fairly dense overgrowth one approach to beginning to expose the land is to cut lanes. These can be as narrow as twenty or twenty-five feet wide or as wide as you desire. They can be spaced twenty-five to fifty yards apart to provide you walking and driving access to your entire property and visibility to see almost everywhere. Because you may be clearing quite a bit less than half of the land the cost is dramatically reduced.

Clearing lanes is made practical by R Cedar’s timber mulchers. All trees and brush are reduced to mulch right where they stand. There is no need to transport the removed brush anywhere as it simply becomes a wonderful bed of mulch that grasses can easily grow through and that will help to retain moisture rather than waste it.

Over time you can proceed to cut additional lanes, widen the lanes you have already cut or complete the land clearing to whatever degree you choose. There is no loss of efficiency or cost penalty for proceeding in this manner.

Utility Right of Way Clearing

Rights-of-way for pipelines, electricity and other utilities must remain clear of significant growth of brush and trees to protect the equipment and provide useful access for inspection, repairs and maintenance.

Mulching the brush and trees in place with R Cedar’s timber mulchers is fast and cost effective.

Land Development

Property development often begins with clearing unwanted trees and brush. Depending on the type of development it may be necessary to clear everything or to selectively preserve valuable trees. In either case R Cedar can tailor its service to meet your specific requirement in an efficient and cost effective manner.

Pile Mulching

Many past clearing projects have begun with bull dozers or snippers making large piles of trees and brush. Often, the plan was to burn the piles but extremely dry weather has foiled those plans.

R Cedar can quickly eliminate those piles in any weather. Sometimes they can be mulched in place or sometimes it is more effective to pull them apart with grapples and then mulch them. In either case the result is a bed of clean mulch rather than scorched earth. And, there’s no risk to nearby buildings or valuable plants and animals.

Horse Trails

R Cedar can clear horse trails through the thickest brush and leave them immediately ready to ride. You gain access to parts of your property that you’ve probably never been on before. And, because the amount of land that must be cleared is relatively small you can open up a lot of trails for a small investment.

Road-side Clearing

Clearing and cleaning up your roadside can dramatically improve that appearance of your property. Leave behind only that attractive hardwoods and turn the rest to mulch. Your “curb appeal” will sky rocket.

Dead Oak Removal

Many of us have had to face the devastation of Oak Wilt. The loss of these beautiful trees is a tragedy that is only made worse by having to look at the ugly corpses left behind. With our Timber Mulchers we can turn these ugly relics into beneficial mulch quickly and cost effectively to restore the attractive view of your property.

Shooting Lanes

Large areas of Cedar or other brush are the ultimate hideout for the most prized game animals. While the best approach might be to remove all the Cedar and brush and leave behind only the attractive hardwoods the investment may be higher that you’d choose. One great alternative is to cut shooting lanes. These can be placed 25 to 50 yards apart to give you driving access to the entire area.

The cost of clearing lanes is significantly lower that clearing the whole area but you get many of the benefits. You will be able to get close enough to see and to move the animals.

You can also open up better shooting lanes near established hunting blinds to give you clean sight access to larger areas. You can also create great new locations for blinds based on existing runs.

Habitat Restoration

Cedar, brush, dead trees and weeds are not the best habitat for most wildlife. Begin the restoration by removing the invasive species and cleaning out the dead stuff. With a healthy layer of mulch left behind you’re ready to watch the beneficial habitat reestablish itself or the help it along with selective planting.

Survey, Fence and Utility Clearing

Surveying, fence building and installation or maintenance of utilities all require a clear access to the intended location. R Cedar and clear the land needed for these activities quickly and cost effectively. We can clear as little or as much as you need. By mulching everything in the desired area even very long, very narrow lanes are possible because there’s no need to haul anything out.

Walking Trails

If your property contains large areas or dense Cedar or brush it’s almost certain that you’ve never even been able to walk the land to see what’s there. R Cedar can clear walking trails through that dense undergrowth and give you immediate access to your land. By mulching everything of the trail R Cedar can create long, narrow paths of any length. The mulch provides an immediately usable walking surface. You can place the trails where you want them and make as few or as many as you need.  Because you’re only clearing a small portion of the area your costs are kept low but you still gain access to the land.

Vegetation Control

Once your vegetation and brush get out of control it’s almost impossible to regain control manually. R Cedar can quickly bring the vegetation back under control and put you back in touch with your property and the desirable plants growing there.

Site Preparation

Preparing a site for construction begins with getting rid of the vegetation that is either in the way or unwanted. R Cedar can clear the site as completely or as selectively as needed by the intended development. We get in, get the job done and get out so you can get on with your project.
