Land care for acreage
What we do, and what to expect. Every job starts with a walk of the ground and a written estimate.
Pasture and acreage mowing
Fields, orchards, lanes and lots, cut once or on a schedule. Trimming around fences, trees and outbuildings is part of it.
Tractor, zero-turn and trimmer, picked to suit the ground
Single cuts and regular visits
We move on and tell you when a field is too wet
Brush clearing and clean-up
Fence lines, ditches, corners and old garden plots cut back and cleared. Cuttings are chipped, hauled or stacked where you want them.
Brush mower, saws and a chipper
No burning of piles
The scope names what stays
Defensible space
Grass cut short, shrubs spaced and ladder fuel limbed up in zones around the house and outbuildings.
Defensible spaceAn add-on to a visit, or a job on its own

Snow plowing
Drives, lanes, turnarounds and yards, on a seasonal contract or a one-time plow when the route has room.

The year on the place
What happens when
Hamilton has a short growing season, a dry late summer and a long winter. The year runs about like this, and weather moves every date.
Spring
Roads and fields are soft. Mowing starts when the ground firms up and the grass is high enough to cut.
Wait out the mud before heavy machines
First cut of pasture and lanes
Book brush and thinning for summer
Summer

Questions
Common questions about the work
How soon can you start, and how long will it take?
The estimate gives a start window and a finish window. Mowing runs from green-up through fall, brush work and thinning go best before fire season and after the ground firms up, and wet or frozen ground can move a date. We tell you when it moves.
What if it rains, or the ground is frozen?
Soft ground is hard on the pasture and on the machines, so we wait for it to firm up. Frozen ground is fine for some brush work and no good for others. Snow is plowed on the trigger in your agreement, rain or not.
What should I do before you come?
Move livestock to another field, unlock the gates, and mark wells, septic tanks, drain fields, buried lines and anything you want left alone. Tell us about the dog, the bull and the wet spot by the culvert.
