Why Choose Tarzan Tree Care for Land Clearing
Clearing mountain land in the Colorado foothills demands an understanding of steep grades, wildfire behavior, and delicate mountain ecology. Tarzan Tree Care is owned by Josh, an ISA Certified Arborist & Tree Worker (#RM8004A). We reject haphazard clear-cutting in favor of selective, terrain-conscious clearing that protects valuable specimen trees, prevents hillside erosion, and establishes critical firebreak zones. Backed by specialized equipment—including excavators, forestry mulchers, and technical climbing arborists for confined drop zones—our licensed team delivers reliable, safety-focused land preparation across Evergreen and Morrison.
Key Benefits of Professional Mountain Lot Clearing
Effective lot clearing in the foothills requires more than bulldozing vegetation; it requires balancing defensible space, usable acreage, and soil stability. Our arborist-guided land clearing provides distinct advantages for your mountain investment.
Wildfire Defense
Clearing out thick ladder fuels and dense brush creates essential firebreak corridors, defending homes and structures against catastrophic wildfire spread.
Construction Access
We prepare acreage for residential home additions, outbuildings, utility corridors, and driveways, ensuring stable and accessible mountain build sites.
Preserved Native Landscape
Selective clearing removes beetle-kill timber and problem undergrowth while preserving healthy specimen pines and protecting vulnerable slope topsoil from severe erosion.
Our Methodical Foothills Land Clearing Process
Our structured approach is designed to clear your acreage safely, systematically, and with full respect for mountain ecology. Explore our step-by-step process below, and reach out to our team if you have questions about your property.
01
Site Assessment
We walk your land to evaluate slope grades, tree health, fuel density, access constraints, and existing obstacles before building a custom plan.
02
Vegetation Marking
We establish clear boundaries, identifying high-risk timber and ladder fuels for extraction while designating healthy native trees for long-term preservation.
03
Mechanical & Climbing Operations
Our team deploys excavators, forestry mulchers, heavy wood chippers, and certified climbing arborists to clear undergrowth and fell target trees efficiently.
04
Slash Management & Grading
We process timber, chip woody brush, and clear debris, leaving a stabilized surface ready for home construction, access roads, or firebreaks.
Serving Evergreen and Surrounding Colorado Foothills Communities

Frequently Asked Questions
Clearing mountain land requires balancing construction needs, wildfire safety, and long-term forest stability. Review our detailed answers to common questions about foothills clearing methods, equipment deployment, seasonal planning, and selective tree preservation practices below to prepare your mountain property with complete confidence.
Selective clearing targets overgrown brush, ladder fuels, deadfall, and hazardous trees while deliberately preserving healthy, mature native pines and firs. Unlike indiscriminate clear-cutting, selective clearing maintains soil stability, reduces erosion on mountain grades, and protects the scenic character of your foothills property.
We evaluate terrain grade, tree density, soil conditions, and target structures during an initial on-site assessment. For confined drop zones, our climbing arborists handle precision felling, while heavy-duty wood chippers, forestry mulchers, and excavators manage thick brush, slash, and earth preparation.
Yes. We design lot clearing to create vital firebreak corridors and Zone 1 defensible space within 30 feet of existing structures or planned build sites. By removing ground fuels and thinning dense canopies, we help reduce wildfire vulnerability across your acreage.
Autumn is an ideal season because firm ground conditions support efficient machinery mobility before winter snowfall arrives. However, we schedule mountain clearing projects throughout the year, adjusting our plan to local weather, soil conditions, and your project timelines.
Yes, we provide free project consultations and detailed estimates. We visit your property to evaluate obstacles, boundary lines, and vegetation density before recommending a clear, customized clearing plan tailored to your goals.
