Vegetation Management 

Managing vegetation includes the targeted control and removal of undesirable vegetation like tree saplings, brush, potentially hazardous plant life, and much more. Vegetation management in residential settings, natural environments, roadways, and around critical utilities can pose a number of challenges and hazards. If left unattended to, overgrown vegetation can also cause roadway obstructions, destruction of utilities, property damage, and even personal injury. The Heidtman team understands the importance of proper vegetation management and can help significantly reduce these risks, and ensure the safety, health, and beauty of the environment.

Forestry Mulching/Hydro-Ax/Grinding

Our team offers professional forestry mulching services that are less intrusive and impactful than traditional land clearing methods, all designed to clear only the vegetation you want out while protecting the soil. Forestry mulching uses low-impact equipment to get rid of undesirable vegetation and debris such as: trees, deadfall, brush, and stumps by grinding them into mulch. Forestry mulching clears land without disturbing the topsoil, burning vegetation, or leaving large piles of dead material. These methods do not erode the soil, and actually prevent erosion from happening. It also reduces the ability of new unwanted growth to come through while adding nutrients to the topsoil. What you’re left with after forestry mulching is flat, even land, perfect for new construction uses, site maintenance, vegetation management, invasive species control, construction preparation, and so much more. 

Trail Development - Fence Line Clearing

Need to clean up a trail or forge a new one? We can maintain existing trails or help you create a new trail on your municipal, residential property or nature preserve. In the past for example we have done projects such as clearing, grinding and maintaining 3.5 miles of trails for the City of Monroe at Munson park, adjacent to the airport. We also can help extend the life of your fence when growth along your fence line gets out of control or we can remove the fence row completely as we did for the City of Monroe at Lavender Park.

Field, Pond, & Roadside Brush Clearing Operations 

Every property has those hard-to-get problem areas, the ones that make accessing with traditional equipment nearly impossible. When brush, grass, and other types of overgrowth become a major issue on your property, it’ll be almost impossible to use standard yard maintenance equipment to cut it down. To do the job right, you’ll need the right equipment and personal.

Brush Hogging

Our brush hogging service effectively clears overgrown land, dense brush, tall grasses, weeds, and small saplings. Ideal for taking back neglected fields, preparing land for new projects, maintaining large properties, or reducing fire/safety hazards, our heavy-duty equipment and experienced operators quickly transform unruly areas into manageable, usable spaces.

Survey Line Clearing

A clear view is absolutely essential for proper surveying. If the site is obscured by brush or trees, you can’t have clean demarcations for property lines, fence line, or survey lines. By clearing the paths for survey lines ahead of time, you save yourself or the construction company time that would only be wasted.

Right of Way Clearing & Maintenance 

We clear Right of Ways for many necessities; this includes right of ways for electricity lines, transmission pipelines of anything, such as natural gas, crude oil, and water. We also clear right of ways for fiber optic cable lines. - Maintenance cycle and full initial land clearing - Whether it’s clearing one acre or one hundred, full initial land clearing, damage left in the wake of a storm, or making way for new utility lines, Heidtman has the capabilities to clear obstructed right of ways. We understand that maintaining an unencumbered ROW is critical for utility companies, railways, DOTs, municipalities, commercial businesses and homeowners. It is necessary to ensuring reliable, uninterrupted service and a safe environment for all stakeholders. So we take our responsibilities on each project very seriously. Our skilled crews are committed to getting the job done properly and in a timely manner – all with a focus on safe execution and your budget.
