Don't Wait for Summer. Plan Your Land Clearing During Road Bans.
When competitors stop working, we start planning. Use the spring thaw season to prepare your project and get first priority when roads reopen.
The Problem
March-April road weight restrictions halt most land clearing
The Opportunity
Perfect time for consultations and project planning
Get Scheduled First
Beat the rush when roads reopen in May
Understanding Wisconsin Spring Road Bans
Every March through early May, counties across Northeast Wisconsin implement seasonal weight restrictions on local roads. This protects the road base as frost leaves the ground and the subgrade softens.
What this means: Heavy equipment like our forestry mulchers cannot be transported on restricted routes. Most land clearing companies shut down completely during this 6-8 week period.
But We Don't Stop Working
While we can't run heavy equipment during road bans, we use this time strategically to help landowners prepare for their projects. This means when roads reopen, we can start immediately while competitors are still scheduling consultations.
What We Do During Road Ban Season
"Boots on the Ground" Property Walkthroughs
We visit your property on foot (no heavy equipment needed) to:
- •Walk the clearing boundaries and flag areas
- •Identify trees you want to keep and mark them
- •Assess terrain, soil conditions, and access routes
- •Create a detailed clearing plan tailored to your goals
Project Planning & Detailed Estimates
We provide comprehensive written quotes that break down:
- •Acreage to be cleared and estimated hours
- •Seasonal recommendations (best time to clear for your project type)
- •Timeline from equipment mobilization to final walkthrough
- •Clear pricing with no hidden fees
Pre-Scheduling for Priority Access
When you book during road ban season, you secure a spot at the top of our schedule. The moment roads reopen (typically early-to-mid May), we can start your project immediately. No waiting in line behind the spring rush.
Why This Strategy Works
Most landowners wait until May or June to contact land clearing companies. By then, every contractor in Northeast Wisconsin is booked solid for 4-6 weeks. Hunting season projects that need July/August completion often get pushed to September.
Smart landowners plan ahead. They use March and April to finalize their clearing plans, lock in pricing, and secure their spot. When summer arrives, they're already done, not waiting for an estimate.
