FAQ

Good questions

What's the difference between forestry mulching and regular clearing?

Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into mulch right on site in one pass. There are no burn piles and no hauling, and the mulch helps protect the soil. Regular clearing removes everything for a fully open lot. We'll recommend whichever fits your plans.

Can you clear the brush but keep my good trees?

Yes. Tell us which trees matter to you and we'll work around them, so you get open, usable land without losing the shade and character of the property.

Do you handle storm cleanup?

Yes. After severe weather we can clear fallen trees and debris from yards, driveways and property lines. Call or text and we'll get you on the schedule.

How do I get a quote?

Is Leatherneck really veteran owned?

Yes. Leatherneck is veteran owned and operated by Brandon Urnick, and that discipline shows up in how we run every job.
