Buckthorn Removal
We mulch common and glossy buckthorn thickets to the ground with a track loader and a mulching head. The woods open up, and the regrowth gets easier to keep after.

Brush clearing opens up woods that have grown shut. Honeysuckle, buckthorn, prickly ash and briars crowd the ground under the trees until you cannot walk through. We mulch that brush down with a mulching head on a compact track loader. The mature trees stay standing, and you can see into your woods again.
Paulin Land Solutions offers brush clearing services for wooded lots and acreage about 40 miles around North Prairie. It is one piece of the land clearing we do around Waukesha and across Southeast Wisconsin. When small trees need to go along with the brush, forestry mulching is the better fit.

Underbrushing is brush clearing under a stand of mature trees. It suits woods you want to keep as woods. The mulching head grinds honeysuckle, buckthorn, prickly ash and box elder saplings down to the ground. Vines and briars go with them, and the mature trees stay standing.
Once the undergrowth is down, you can walk through your woods and see what grows in them. Light reaches the forest floor again, and the ground-up brush stays there as mulch. A single path to a deer stand or a pond falls under trail clearing.
The Wisconsin DNR lists the non-native bush honeysuckles as restricted invasive plants in Waukesha County. They leaf out one to two weeks before native trees and shrubs and hold their leaves later in fall. That long season shades out the plants beneath them. Birds eat the berries and carry the seeds to new ground.
The DNR names lakeshores and open woods among the places Bell's honeysuckle invades. That takes in a lot of ground in Lake Country and the Kettle Moraine.
The University of Wisconsin extension service calls prickly ash thickets nearly impossible for people and livestock to get through. Box elder seeds travel long distances on the wind. The mulching head takes both down along with the honeysuckle and buckthorn.
Brush and vines grow up through old fence lines until you can barely see the fence. Brush removal along the line opens it back up and shows where it runs. In an open field, a fence row with grass and light brush is often a job for brush hogging.
An overgrown lot hides the lay of the land. Brush removal opens it up so you can see the ground and the trees worth keeping. Around a shed or a barn, we mulch the brush back from the walls.
Brush near a lake or a stream can fall under shoreland zoning, which limits cutting close to the water. In the towns of Waukesha County, the county's Parks and Land Use department handles it. In a city or a village, ask its zoning office. Wetland edges fall under state rules, and the Wisconsin DNR answers what is allowed there.
