You have land with no trees on it. Maybe it is an old field, a cleared area, or a spot flattened by a storm. You want it back in forest, but you are not sure where to start. Toms Tree Services offers reforestation services in Marquette to get trees growing again.
When Do You Need Reforestation Services?
Reforestation helps when land that once had trees, or could have trees, is open now. Common cases are old fields, cleared areas, and ground left bare after storms, pests or fire.
Work can include clearing brush and debris, preparing the ground, picking tree types that fit the site, planting seedlings, and protecting them from deer and competing plants.
It is different from restoring damaged woods. Reforestation focuses on planting new trees where few or none stand now.
Waiting lets grass and brush take over, which makes it harder for young trees to get started.
In the U.P., planting is often done in spring or fall. Wet spring ground can limit gear, and our short summer season and heavy lake-effect snow both affect how seedlings do in their first years.
Picking trees that handle our cold winters and Lake Superior wind helps the planting last.
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 land.
Then we come out and look. We walk the land with you and talk about your goals. We look at soil, wet spots, sun and what is growing now. Then we plan the site prep, tree choices and planting.
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 Reforestation Services Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how much site prep is needed, how many trees, the types of seedlings, and whether they need protection. Access, distance and equipment 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.
