Whole shelterbelt removal

We can take out whole shelterbelts. It may depend on the variety and size of the trees. In the two years that we have had this specialized equipment we have encountered only one project that we shied away from because of the size of the trees. We are currently in the process of acquiring a special skid steer attachment that will take out even larger trees.

What do you suggest after a shelterbelt is removed?

Disc it lightly, you may turn up a few sticks or roots that should be gathered. If there is enough dead wood in the pile, burn it when conditions are safe and bury immediately, usually same day. Remember, there is very little dirt in the pile so you will get a more complete burn so a very small hole will accommodate the remainder. Many people choose to burn in winter when there is some snow cover, however the frozen ground will present a problem for burying the remainder until spring. If there is a lot of green wood we suggest leaving it to dry for a season before attempting to burn.
