MadCowTree Service
What we clear
- Building lots for new homes, garages, pole barns and additions.
- Overgrown fencerows full of hedge (Osage orange), locust and cedar.
- Bush honeysuckle, which takes over the understory of woods all over the Metro East.
- Pasture and field edges, trails, driveway and power-line paths on private land.
- Dead ash stands and storm-damaged woodlots.
Selective clearing or a clean slate
Not every job means taking everything. On a lot of wooded properties around Godfrey, Fosterburg and Jerseyville, people want to open up a building site but keep the big oaks and hickories. We'll walk the lot with you and flag what stays. Then we take out the brush, small trees and anything dead or dangerous around the keepers, so the trees you save aren't damaged by the work.
Our clearing equipment
Track loaders with grapples move logs and brush without tearing up wet ground the way wheeled machines do. Grapple trucks load and haul. Chippers handle the brush. For stumps on a building site we grind them or pull them, depending on what your builder needs.
What happens to the debris
We haul it away, chip it on site for mulch, or stack firewood-size logs for you to keep. On rural land, brush piles for wildlife are also an option. Tell us what you want. For a free estimate, send photos of the lot and an address or call 618-CUT-WOOD (618-288-9663).
