Mulching & Brush Removal
We improve recreational property by clearing brush, establishing access trails, installing food plots, removing invasive species, and much more. We can open up your lake lot view or clear your fence lines. We also have heavy-duty mowers to help reclaim overgrown pasture or maintain existing trails.

Recreational Land Experts
Working with Shell River Clearing and Grading, you will see we have a broad range of equipment, skill and expertise that come from our years of experience.
​
-
Lake Lots. Let us help you access the water, open up the view to the lake or visualize a potential building site.
-
Trails. 4-wheeler trails, hunter walking trails, deer travel corridors, secluded scenic walking routes, snowmobile club trails and so much more. Whether you have the trails pre-marked out, or you would like us to ribbon them with you, we work with each customer to provide your desired outcome.
-
Hunting Properties. We have the equipment to open up your new food plots and deer stand locations. We can help you lay-out new shooting lanes and sight lines. What do you need done?
-
Fence Lines & Property Lines. Putting up a new fence? Want to keep your property lines clear of brush? We've worked with landowners and surveyors to keep a straight line through the woods.
-
Overgrown Field Edges and Pastures. Is brush creeping in on your tillable land? Taking over horse or cattle grazing pasture? We can help you reclaim this property back to maximize your investment!
-
Right-of-way and Utility Maintenance. From road ditches to above ground power and underground utilities. Also, governmental agencies, power companies, service providers and private individuals.
-
Invasive Species Control. Buckthorn is growing problem spreading from Central Minnesota into the more Northern regions. We have the equipment to help you get your land back and allow your native plants to thrive!
-
Backyard Expansion. We work with homeowners to push the brush back on your yard space! This also helps keep those pesky wood ticks and misquotes away by allowing more air flow and keeping woody stem brush away from structures.
-
Native Habitat Improvements. From large acre tracts to individual acre by acre projects, we can help you improve your timber stand or CRP ground. This can include releasing certain tree species, returning brush back to native grasslands, or improving habitat for wildlife.
Our Equipment
Our equipment is well maintained and clean. We pride ourselves in quality work and a good reputation.
​
Our Forestry Mulchers are attachments that can cut and chop or grind trees and forest vegetation into particles. Once the vegetation is mulched, it is usually left on-site as biomass that will eventually break down and provide more nutrients to your soil. It also helps to prevent erosion.
Our Heavy Duty Brush Mowers are great for maintaining areas with smaller diameter brush, tall grass, and over-grown fields. While our mowers can take down 7-inch trees, we typically utilize them to target certain projects with 2-4" size woody stems or to mow grass stems. We often use the forestry mulcher to create a new trail, then come back 2-3 years later with the brush mower to manage the regrowth.
Estimating & Bidding
Our Estimating & Bidding Process varies but our preferred method is to discuss a project over the phone, then meet onsite to conduct a walk through while discussing options. This allows us to be more accurate with pricing, and better understand project needs to meet your budget expectations. However, for Long Distance & Absentee Land Owners, do not worry! We often work with clients remotely. We can even meet via video call on Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp.
