You know your woods by walking them, but it is hard to keep track of what is where. Where does the pine stand end? Where are the wet spots? Where should the new trail go? Toms Tree Services offers forest mapping in Marquette to put your woods on a simple map.
When Do You Need Forest Mapping?
Forest mapping helps when you are planning work, like thinning, clearing, trails, roads or planting, and need to see the layout. It also helps when you just bought land.
We walk the property with GPS and mark things like tree stands of different types, trails and roads, wet areas and streams, clearings, problem spots and areas that need work.
This is a working map for planning. It is not a survey. For legal property lines, you need a licensed surveyor.
A map makes it easier to talk about the job with us and with others, and to track work over the years.
In the U.P., dense woods make it easy to lose your bearings. Wet spring ground shows where drainage problems are, and Lake Superior wind storms can change areas quickly.
We map woods for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County, and will travel farther for the right job.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at your woods.
Then we come out and look. We talk about what you want on the map and look at any maps you already have. Then we walk the property with GPS, mark the features, and put together a simple map to go over with you.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure. You can start with part of the plan or all of it. If you go ahead, we set up the work with you and clean up when we finish.
How Much Does Forest Mapping Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how thick the woods are, how easy it is to walk, and how much detail you want on the map. Distance and access also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what each part of the work covers. That way you can pick what fits your trees and your budget, and change the plan later if your needs change.
