Dead branches, down trees and thick brush keep piling up in your woods. In a dry spell, you worry about what a spark could do. You want less to burn near your home or camp. Toms Tree Services offers fuel reduction in Marquette to clear it out.
When Do You Need Fuel Reduction?
Fuel reduction helps when dead wood, brush, down trees and low limbs build up near buildings or in your woods.
Signs include piles of dead branches, down trees from past storms, thick young brush under bigger trees, and low limbs that could carry fire up into the tops.
Work can include removing dead and down wood, clearing brush, thinning crowded small trees, and raising low limbs. We chip or mulch the material instead of leaving piles.
This lowers the fuel. It does not make a property fire-proof.
In the U.P., Lake Superior wind storms and heavy lake-effect snow and ice leave lots of broken and down wood. Dense wooded lots grow brush fast. Dry spells can still happen in late summer.
We help 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 property.
Then we come out and look. We walk the property with you, starting near buildings. We point out dead wood, brush and low limbs, and talk about what to clear and what to keep. Then we plan the work.
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 Fuel Reduction Cost?
The cost depends on the size of the area, how much dead wood and brush there is, tree sizes, slopes and access. Distance, equipment and what happens to the material 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.
