Clearing Land Around Deer River
Deer River calls itself the gateway to the Chippewa, and the map backs that up. Highway 2 runs through town. Highway 46 heads northwest toward Lake Winnibigoshish, and Highway 6 goes north to Bowstring Lake and the big woods. National forest takes up much of the country past the city limits, with private forties, farms and cabin lots mixed in between. Land clearing in Deer River is work on those private pieces. Hunting parcels, lake places and old fields that have filled in with popple, hazel and balsam. We clear them by forestry mulching, so the growth is ground up where it stands and nothing is hauled or burned.
Hunting land is the most likely reason to call. This is deer and grouse country, and a parcel that has not been worked in a long time is hard to hunt. Old logging roads have grown shut. Openings have filled with young popple. We reopen the trails, cut lanes out from the stands and make room for food plots with hunting land clearing. With so much public forest around, the first step is knowing your lines. Have the corners marked before we start. We clear only on your side, and a mulched boundary lane is a good way to keep it obvious. See trails and access for how the trail work goes.
What We Clear In Deer River
The ground around Deer River is a mix. Sandy ridges carry pine and popple and can be worked in most weather. Between them lie spruce and tamarack bog, ash swamp and alder that will not hold a machine until it freezes. So plenty of jobs here are planned in two parts. High ground when it is dry, low ground in winter. Lake cabins north and west of town bring lot clearing work too, and shoreland rules apply there. The Itasca County zoning office is the place to ask for land outside city limits. Our shoreland guide covers the basics.
- Grown-shut logging roads on hunting land
- Lanes and food plot openings
- Boundary lanes beside public forest
- Cabin lots back from the shore
- Alder and low ground in winter

Deer River Questions
Do you take jobs in Deer River and the west end of Itasca County?
Yes. Itasca County is in our service area, and that includes Deer River, Zemple, Ball Club and the lake country around them. Text the location and a few photos to (218) 461-7376. Calvin will set a time to walk the land with you and give you a free estimate.
My land borders the national forest. How close can you clear?
Up to your line and no farther. We need the boundary marked before we start, by survey pins, flagging or a line you and the neighbor agree on. If the line is not certain, get it surveyed first. When there is doubt, we stay back.
Can you clear swampy ground near Deer River?
Often, but usually in winter. Alder and brush on wet ground mulch fine once frost has firmed things up. Open bog and standing water are a different matter, and wetlands can be protected. Ask the county before clearing low ground. Calvin will tell you on the walk which parts are workable and when.
