You want to plant new trees, but the ground is not ready. Brush, old slash, stumps and thick grass cover the site. Seedlings planted into that mess often struggle or die. Toms Tree Services offers site preparation in Marquette to get the ground ready for planting.
When Do You Need Site Preparation?
Site preparation helps before planting trees on cleared land, old fields, or areas left messy after storms or past cutting.
Signs you need it include thick brush or grass, piles of branches and slash, stumps in the way, and no open soil for seedlings.
Work can include clearing brush, chipping or piling slash, grinding stumps where needed, and opening up patches or rows of bare soil where seedlings can root.
Good prep gives young trees a better start by cutting down on plants that compete for light and water.
Waiting lets brush and grass grow back thicker, which means more work later.
In the U.P., wet spring ground limits heavy gear, so prep is often done in summer or fall before a spring planting. Our short summer season makes planning ahead helpful.
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 site.
Then we come out and look. We walk the site with you and talk about what you plan to plant. We look at the brush, slash, stumps, soil and wet spots. Then we plan how to clear and prep the ground.
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 Site Preparation Cost?
The cost depends on how many acres, how thick the brush and slash are, the number of stumps, slopes, ground conditions and 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.
