Forestry Mulching
A mulching head on our compact track loader grinds brush and small trees into mulch where they stand. The mulch stays on your land as ground cover, and the big trees you pick stay standing.

Brush and saplings fill in under a power line that crosses your land. Utility line clearing opens that strip back up. We mulch the brush and small trees under and along lines and easements on private land. The mulching head on our compact track loader grinds them into mulch right on the strip.
Paulin Land Solutions does utility line clearing for landowners across Waukesha County and Southeast Wisconsin. It is the same forestry mulching we do on overgrown lots, aimed at the strip under the line. North Prairie sits at the center of our service area, which reaches about 40 miles around. For a whole wooded lot, see our land clearing services around Waukesha.
Tell us about the land you want cleared or graded and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Right-of-way clearing starts with where the line runs. You or the utility show us the strip, and we keep the work inside it. Brush, saplings, vines and buckthorn get mulched down under the line and along its edges.
The strip may cross a back field or a woodlot, or follow the line to a well or a shed. A fence row along an easement can be mulched down too. We also cut back the edges of a lane so a utility truck can reach the line. A lane for your own ATV falls under trail clearing.
A clear strip lets you and the utility see the line and reach it. Mulching the strip also takes out saplings before they grow up toward the wires.
The utility owns its lines and poles, and its own crews or contractors work on them. Trees and limbs near the wires are the utility's work too. Call the utility about any limb that touches or leans toward a line.
Federal OSHA rules keep a machine's raised parts at least 10 feet from live overhead lines up to 50,000 volts. Higher-voltage lines need more room. Our part is the brush and saplings on the ground under and beside the line.
Wisconsin law says anyone who digs contacts Diggers Hotline at least three working days before the work starts. That includes a homeowner in their own yard. Weekends and state legal holidays do not count. After a call to 811 or a request online, the line owners mark their buried lines with paint or flags.
Grading and scraping count as excavation under the law, so the marks come first on any job that moves soil. The one-call center says hand tools count too, at any depth. Until a buried line is exposed, state rules keep a machine's cutting edge at least 18 inches from its marks.
Private lines do not get marked through Diggers Hotline. Its examples include a line after the meter and an electric line to a barn or a garage. Those lines are the landowner's responsibility, and a locating company can be hired to mark them.
