COMPLETE BRUSH CLEARING SERVICES

Clear Overgrowth, Debris, and Unwanted Vegetation

Every property has different cleanup needs. Whether you are reclaiming an overgrown area, clearing around a fence, or removing piles of branches and logs, our crew provides the cutting, equipment, hauling, and disposal needed to complete the job.

Brush and Branch Removal

We cut and remove unwanted brush, low branches, woody growth, and vegetation that has become difficult to manage. Our crew works carefully around lawns, landscaping, buildings, and other areas you want to protect.

Buckthorn Removal

Buckthorn can spread quickly, crowd out desirable plants, and take over wooded edges, fence lines, and open areas. We cut and remove unwanted buckthorn, then haul away the branches and debris to help you reclaim the space.

Small Tree and Sapling Removal

Unwanted saplings and small trees can quickly take over fence lines, property edges, and open areas. We remove the growth at its base and haul away the resulting branches, trunks, and debris.

Lot and Property Clearing

Prepare an area for landscaping, maintenance, construction access, or future use by removing brush and smaller woody growth. We tailor the amount of clearing to your plans rather than removing more than necessary.

Underbrush Clearing

Dense undergrowth can limit access, reduce visibility, and make wooded areas harder to maintain. Selective underbrush clearing removes unwanted growth while preserving larger trees and other features you want to keep.

Storm Debris Cleanup

High winds and severe weather can leave branches, limbs, logs, and other debris scattered across your property. We provide prompt cleanup and hauling, with 24-hour emergency response available for urgent storm damage.

Fence Line Clearing

Brush, vines, branches, and saplings can grow into fences and make repairs or maintenance difficult. We carefully clear along residential, agricultural, and commercial fence lines while minimizing disruption to nearby property.

Access and Trail Clearing

Overgrowth can block trails, driveways, work areas, and equipment access routes. We remove brush and small growth to reopen these areas and make it easier to move through and maintain your property.

Hauling and Disposal

You will not be left with piles of branches and brush after the clearing is complete. Our crew loads, hauls, and disposes of the removed material as part of the agreed-upon project scope.

BRUSH REMOVAL QUESTIONS

What to Know Before Clearing Your Property

What types of brush and debris do you remove?

We remove unwanted branches, underbrush, saplings, small trees, logs, storm debris, and other woody vegetation. Greg can review the property and confirm what can be included in your cleanup project.

Do you cut down the brush or only haul it away?

We can handle both. Our crew can cut and clear standing brush and small growth or remove existing piles of branches, logs, and debris that have already been collected.

Can you remove small trees and saplings?

Yes. We remove unwanted saplings and smaller trees as part of brush clearing and property cleanup projects. Larger trees may be evaluated separately as part of our professional tree removal service.

Can you clear brush near fences or buildings?

Yes. We regularly work around fences, garages, homes, sheds, landscaping, and other structures. The area will be evaluated before work begins so we can choose an approach that protects the surrounding property.

What happens to the brush after it is removed?

Our crew can load, haul, and dispose of the brush, branches, logs, and other material removed from the property. The cleanup plan will be reviewed during your estimate so you know what is included.

How much does brush removal cost?

Pricing depends on the amount and type of material, equipment access, hauling needs, and the size of the area being cleared. Call or text Greg to discuss the project and schedule a free estimate.

Clear Your Property Without the Leftover Mess

Brush removal can involve much more than cutting down unwanted growth. The material must also be gathered, loaded, hauled, and properly disposed of. American Family Tree & Crane Service has the equipment and experience to manage the complete process.

Owner and operator Greg Bayard is directly involved in the work and takes the time to understand how you plan to use the area. Our crew works carefully around lawns, fences, landscaping, buildings, and larger trees that should remain.

As a licensed and insured, locally owned company with more than 26 years in business, we are known for dependable service, straightforward recommendations, and thorough cleanup. Our 4.9-star Google rating reflects the care we bring to projects of all sizes.

We had a dying a 60ft cottonwood removed safely from the back of our yard. The gentlemen were quick to respond to our phone call and booking us a time just 2 days later. They were on time, prepared and efficient (1.5 hrs, including the friendly cleanup). We couldn't be happier with their service. They also followed up with a phone call to ensure we were happy the next day! A++ business! Keep up the great work and service!

We have had work done by this team twice now and have been very satisfied with their work. They are careful about surrounding structures/gardens and clean the yard up so nice! Very reliable and blows other quotes out of the water. Thank you!

Highly recommend Greg and his crew! Amazing work!! They arrived on time, quickly and efficiently completed my entire yard and removed all the debris. I moved into my house this spring and quickly realized my backyard was a Jungle! Greg was the first tree servicer to answer the phone, first one to make it to my house and after 5+ estimates his company was by FAR the most affordable option! Greg and his crew carefully removed multiple spruce trees, an elm, a mulberry tree, trimmed down my shrubbery jungle and removed some pretty dangerous dead wood from 3 very large cottonwood trees on my property in record time. Clean up was completed beautifully! I am still in awe of the transformation!

Greg and team did an excellent job taking down two large trees and grinding several stumps. He was very responsive, which is very important to us. Afterwards, the yard and clean up work was extremely impressive. I will definitely use them again and absolutely recommend American Family Tree Service!
