Defensible space starts with pullen weeds!
Services
All jobs are done by estimate. Our general labor rate is $200 per hour for the track loader and attachments. Some hand work such as raking and chainsawing may be needed to facilitate the use of the loader. Hauling fees for equipment and waste are done on a case by case estimate. We do not do major tree work, deep grading, construction, etc. due to the limits of our licensing and insurance.
Brush mowing is done with our 1800 lb high-flow hydraulic mower deck. The mower can access steep areas wheeled tractors can not. It can articulate and lift up to 10’ high. We can handle brush and small trees up to 10 inches in diameter. It is a closed deck which creates less of a fire risk.
Stump Grinding is done with our track loader. It is quick and efficient. A large stump (36'“) generally takes about an hour but it depends on a variety of factors such as access, rocks, wood type, and height of stump. Some stumps may need to be cut lower with a chainsaw prior to grinding.
Removing roots with our grapple is a great way to go for less ongoing maintenance. Roots, brush, and timber slash can be hauled off by us with our dump trailer for a fee depending on amount, distance and type of material. Alternatively brush can left in piles for burning, chipping, or composting.
BONNY DOON FAMILY RUN. Firefighter operated
We have lived on our 5 acre property in Bonny Doon since 2016. We were in Santa Cruz before that. We witnessed first hand how important defensible space was in saving our home during the CZU fire when so many of our neighbors unfortunately lost their homes. We hope to help people qualify for better rates on fire insurance and not loose their property in the next fire.
