Why now

Ground that’s grown up isn’t doing anything for you

Brush doesn’t stay small. Every season it creeps further into pasture edges, fence lines and building lots, until the ground is a thicket you can’t use.

Clearing done in a hurry leaves ruts, stump piles and brush coming right back.

We start with what you want the ground to be, then pick the method that gets it there.

How a job runs

Four steps, one person accountable

  1. Step 1: Walk it with Adam

    Show him the boundaries, keeper trees and wet spots. Free and on site.

    Book the walk-through
  2. Step 2: Agree on the finish

    Mulched, piled or hauled, and what the ground should look like after.

    Why no per-acre rate?
  3. Step 3: Clear it right

    Mulcher for brush; dozers and excavators for timber, stumps and roots.

  4. Step 4: Finish and walk-through

    Rough grade and a Harley rake pass where needed, then a walk-through with Adam.

Why Salz

Why landowners call Salz

Keeper trees marked first

Adam walks the boundaries with you and marks what stays before a machine runs.

A real number, not a flat rate

Density, tree size, slope and wet ground change the job. You get a price for yours.

Ready for what’s next

Pasture, crops or a building pad. The same crew can grade it after.

Before you call

Straight answers, up front

Do you charge per acre?

No. Density, tree size, slope and wet ground change everything, so Adam walks your ground and prices it instead.

What happens to the brush and trees?

It’s agreed before we start: mulched in place, piled, or hauled.

How far do you travel?

About 50 miles from Magnolia, IL, including Peoria and the Illinois Valley.
