Brush moves in quietly. One year it’s a few kochia plants along the fence, and a few years later you can’t see the fence at all. Around Dinosaur, open lots and the edges of yards fill in with sagebrush, cheatgrass, and tumbleweeds, while ditch banks grow thickets of Russian olive and tamarisk.
Our brush clearing in Dinosaur cuts all of that back to usable ground. We mow, cut, or grub depending on what’s growing, take woody stems out at the base, and load up the cuttings so they don’t blow back across the property. You decide how far to go, from a tidy fence line to a fully opened parcel, and we plan our trip out to cover it in one go.
We know how kochia, tumbleweeds, and ditch bank Russian olive take over Dinosaur yards, and where to start cutting first.
Mowers, cutters, and a machine for grubbing roots let us match the method to the brush instead of forcing one approach.
If a stretch only needs mowing instead of grubbing, we'll tell you and keep the quote to what makes sense.
Cuttings get loaded and hauled, and we rake up the loose stems so nothing blows back across the yard.
In a small town like Dinosaur, a lot of properties back up to open ground, and that open ground doesn’t stop at the property line. Sagebrush creeps in from the edges, kochia stands up tall along fences, and cheatgrass fills every gap. By late summer, tumbleweeds break loose and pile against anything that stops them: sheds, fences, and the back side of the house.
The spots that need attention first are usually the ones closest to buildings, along fence lines, and around anything you need to reach, like a well house, propane tank, or gate. Clearing those areas makes the property easier to keep up and a lot easier to look at.
Wherever water runs, Russian olive and tamarisk tend to follow. Russian olive carries thorns, tamarisk grows into dense thickets, and both resprout from the roots if you only cut the tops. Left alone, they choke ditch banks, slow the water down, and make the bank impossible to walk.
We cut these down low and pull the root crowns where the ground allows. When a stand has grown into full trees with thick trunks, stump removal for Russian olive and tamarisk gets the roots out so they don’t come back next spring.
Not all brush needs the same treatment. The right approach depends on what’s growing and what you plan to do with the ground afterward:
If you’re planning to build or open up the whole parcel, brush clearing may only be the first piece. Full lot clearing goes further, taking out stumps, rock, and buried junk to leave ground ready for dirt work.
US-40 runs along the north edge of Dinosaur, and Colorado 64 begins right here in town. For any business or rental that faces those roads, overgrown frontage is the first thing people notice. Clearing brush along the edge of a lot, around signs, and beside driveways makes a property look cared for and keeps sight lines open for vehicles pulling in and out.
Homeowners benefit too. A clean yard and clear fence line show better if you ever sell, and they cut down on the places where tumbleweeds and trash collect. Clear ground around a shed or garage also makes it easier to spot mice, snakes, and other critters that like to hide in thick brush.
Late spring is a good window for brush clearing, after the ground firms up and before kochia and cheatgrass set seed. Fall works well too, once the summer growth has dried out and the tumbleweeds have done most of their traveling. Since Dinosaur is a longer haul for our crews, we plan these trips ahead and fit as much work into each visit as we can.
If you’ve got old lumber, scrap, or junk piled up along with the brush, debris hauling in Dinosaur can go out on the same run so the whole property gets cleaned up at once.
Cleared ground is an open invitation for weeds. Bindweed, spurge, and goatheads love bare dirt, and kochia will reseed itself from whatever is left nearby. A little follow up goes a long way: mowing the regrowth before it seeds, keeping fence lines trimmed, and dealing with root sprouts while they’re small.
We’ll point out the spots most likely to come back during the final walkthrough, so you know where to keep an eye out between visits. If the regrowth gets ahead of you, a follow up trip can be folded into other work we have scheduled out your way, which keeps a small touch up from turning into another big job.
We walk the property, mark what stays, and note fences, tanks, ditches, and any spots that need hand work.
Your free quote lays out the areas to clear, the method for each, and how the cuttings will be hauled away.
We mow, cut, or grub each area as planned, working carefully around fences, buildings, and anything you've flagged.
We walk the cleared ground with you, rake up stragglers, and point out where regrowth is most likely to show up.
