We size the approach to your property, your budget and how spotless you want the finished site.
The most economical way to turn slash into usable mulch without trucking it off your property.
Complete removal of cut material when there's no good place to leave chips on-site.
Most projects use a blend: chip the brush on-site for speed and savings, then haul off the oversized wood. We'll recommend the mix during your free assessment.

Pile burning in Colorado requires permits, depends on narrow snowpack and weather windows, and has re-ignited weeks later to start wildfires. It is rarely the easy option homeowners expect.
Chipping and haul-off don't wait on burn windows or fire bans. The crew we match you with can clear your slash on a normal schedule and keep your mitigation project moving. Chipped material can be reused as erosion control or pathway mulch, kept outside Zone 0, instead of becoming a smoldering pile you have to babysit. Slash removal is the natural follow-on to tree removal and thinning; if you're clearing brush on a larger scale, forestry mulching handles both cutting and chipping in one efficient pass. The Colorado State Forest Service recognizes slash disposal as qualifying fuels work for cost-share grants.
We assess the volume and location of slash, access for equipment, and where chips can safely go, then quote a chipper day, haul-off or blend.
If you've already cut material, the crew organizes it for efficient feeding; if thinning is part of the project too, we coordinate both crews.
Brush goes through the chipper; oversized wood is cut and loaded for haul-off. The crew keeps driveways and lawns clear as they work.
The crew rakes the work zone, removes stray debris and either spreads chips correctly or hauls everything away, the property looks better than they found it.
Slash removal is an eligible part of a wildfire mitigation project. Colorado homeowners can claim the 25% state wildfire mitigation tax credit (up to $625 per year), and CSFS grants and Wildfire Partners rebates may apply. We document the work so it qualifies.

Slash is the branches, limbs, tops and small-diameter wood left over after thinning, pruning or tree work. Left in piles or scattered on the ground it is concentrated, dry surface fuel that carries fire toward your home, so removing or chipping it is the final, essential step of any defensible space project in Colorado.
Both, we recommend whichever fits the property. On-site chipping turns slash into mulch you can spread away from the home or have hauled off. Full haul-off removes the material entirely. Many jobs use a mix: chip the brush, haul the larger wood.
Pile burning is tightly restricted in Colorado, requires permits, depends on weather and snowpack windows, and has started wildfires when piles re-ignite. Chipping and haul-off are safer, faster and available year-round, which is why we offer them as a slash pile alternative.
Yes. Leaving the property clean is the standard we hold every crew in our network to. They rake and clear the work area, remove debris from driveways and lawns, and either spread chips where appropriate or haul everything off so the site looks better than they found it.
A chipper day is the most economical option: a crew and chipper process the slash you've already cut or that the project generates, producing mulch left on-site. Full haul-off adds trucking and disposal so nothing remains. We quote both so you can balance cost against how clean you want the finished property.
