Expert Land Clearing Services

Preparing Your Land for the Future

When left alone, land quickly becomes overgrown with brush and small trees. This reduces usability and can also be an eyesore. For even modestly-sized areas, hand clearing with tools from your local hardware store just isn’t feasible.

Barked Up Forestry specializes in professional land clearing services, ensuring your property is ready for development, agriculture, or recreational use. Our team efficiently removes trees, brush, stumps, and overgrowth using state-of-the-art forestry equipment.

We use a Dennis Cimaf 180D forestry mulching attachment to clear land, making quick work of brush, trees up to 12 inches in diameter, and other vegetation. Everything gets broken down into a fine mulch that returns nutrients to your soil. Cleared of the clutter, your property will have a neat, park-like appearance.

Key Benefits of Our Land Clearing Services:

  • Comprehensive Site Preparation – Clearing trees, stumps, and vegetation for residential, commercial, and agricultural projects

  • Environmentally Responsible Clearing – Using low-impact machinery to minimize soil disturbance

  • Fire Prevention & Property Enhancement – Reduce wildfire risks and improve land usability

  • Custom Solutions for Any Property Size – Whether it's a small lot or a large acreage, we tailor our services to your needs

Ideal for: Property developers, farmers, ranchers, homeowners, and land investors.

  • Serving a 40-mile radius around Maiden, NC, including:

Hickory, Lincolnton, Newton, Denver, Mooresville, Statesville, Gastonia, Charlotte suburbs, and surrounding areas.

Forestry Mulching

Eco-Friendly Land Clearing & Vegetation Control

Need to clear overgrown land without damaging the environment? Forestry mulching is the ideal solution.
