Who We Are

We Clear the Brush and Keep the Trees You Want

Paulin Land Solutions is a land clearing company serving Waukesha County and Southeast Wisconsin. We work for homeowners and landowners with overgrown lots, wooded acreage, hobby farms and lake lots. Some are getting ready to build. Others want buckthorn removal in woods the shrub has taken over.

Our main line of work is forestry mulching. A mulching head on our compact track loader grinds brush and small trees into mulch in place. The mature trees you want to keep stay standing, and the woods open up under them.

After the clearing, the same track loader levels the ground. We grade pads for sheds and barns, and we spread the gravel a supplier delivers for a driveway. We also open hunting trails and clear brush along utility lines on private land.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Land Clearing, Mulching or Grading?

Here are common questions about clearing brush, mulching buckthorn and grading ground around Waukesha. If yours is not here, call or text and we will answer it.

Call (262) 527-7619

What land clearing services do you offer?
Our main line is forestry mulching for overgrown lots and wooded acreage. We do brush hogging on fields and pastures, and we clear the underbrush and buckthorn beneath mature trees. We also open hunting paths and clear brush along utility lines on private land. Once the brush is down, we grade building pads and gravel driveways.
What happens to the brush and small trees you clear?
The mulching head grinds them into mulch right where they stand. The mulch stays on your land and covers the ground where the brush grew. The University of Wisconsin extension service says mowed material mulched on the soil can cut down on new buckthorn seedlings.
How much does land clearing cost?
We price each job after we look at the land. The acreage and the thickness of the brush drive most of the price. Bigger stems and steep or wet ground add to the work too. The quote comes in writing before any work starts.
Do you take down big trees or grind stumps?
Felling and removing big mature trees is work for a tree service. Stump grinding belongs to another trade as well. Our mulching heads handle the brush and the smaller trees around the big ones.
Will mulching get rid of buckthorn for good?
Not by itself. Mulching knocks a buckthorn thicket down, but the stumps sprout again and need follow-up cutting. The Wisconsin DNR lists cut-stump treatment in late fall as a control method. We leave that treatment to a licensed applicator from another company.
Do I need a permit to clear or grade my land?
Work near water or in a wetland can fall under county shoreland rules and the Wisconsin DNR. Your local zoning office answers the permit question for your land, and we point you there. For grading, Wisconsin's one-call law counts it as excavation. Buried lines get marked through Diggers Hotline, at 811, at least three working days before it starts.
Can you do lot clearing for a new home?
Yes. For site preparation, we mulch the brush off the building site and the drive. The mature trees you and your builder want stay standing. We can grade a rough pad after that, and other contractors handle the foundation and the septic system.
What areas do you serve?
Our service area runs about 40 miles around North Prairie, across Waukesha County and Southeast Wisconsin. It takes in Waukesha, New Berlin, Muskego and Pewaukee, plus Lake Country towns like Oconomowoc, Hartland, Delafield and Nashotah. To the south, it reaches Mukwonago, East Troy, Burlington and Elkhorn. See the towns we serve for the full list.
When is the best time of year to clear land?
For buckthorn, the extension service suggests mowing in winter where possible. That spares the plants you want and keeps the soil from packing down. The Wisconsin DNR says oak wilt spreads most easily from April through July, when beetles carry spores to fresh wounds. Near oaks, the months outside that window carry less risk.
