Clearing Land Around Gilbert
Gilbert sits on the Iron Range at the east end of the Quad Cities, alongside Virginia, Eveleth and Mountain Iron. Highways 37 and 135 both run through town. Lake Ore-be-gone, an old mine pit turned fishing lake, sits right next to town. The Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle State Recreation Area is here too, and the Mesabi Trail ends in Gilbert. People in Gilbert like to ride, hunt and fish. Land clearing in Gilbert usually serves that. We use forestry mulching to grind the brush and saplings into mulch where they stand.
Trail clearing is a big share of the work here. Owners want a loop through their own woods for the ATV, a lane to the deer stand, or a wider path for the snowmobile. We route trails around the trees you want and the wet spots you want to stay out of. The mulch left behind packs down into a good riding surface. Range ground can be rocky and uneven, and the mulching head works over it without digging. Calvin will tell you on the walk where rock or water changes the plan.
What We Clear In Gilbert
House lots and acreage around Gilbert grow in quickly once they are left alone. Aspen, alder and balsam fill every gap. We clear building sites, take back yards and edges, and do brush and underbrush clearing under stands of pine and birch. No burn piles, no trucks and nothing hauled off. Some Range parcels border mine, county or state land, so know where your lines are before we start. Call or text for a free estimate and Calvin will walk the property with you.

Gilbert Questions
Not seeing yours? Call or text (218) 461-7376 and ask Calvin, or read the common questions.
Can you cut an ATV trail loop on my land near Gilbert?
Yes. Tell us how wide you want it and what will ride on it. Calvin walks the route with you, and we bend it around good trees and soft ground. The mulch stays on the trail bed, which keeps the mud down. The trail is only on your property, so connecting to public trails is up to the rules for those trails.
Will a mulched trail near Gilbert hold up for snowmobiles?
A mulched trail makes a good base for winter riding. With the brush and small stems ground down, snow lies flatter and there is less to catch a ski. Many owners have us cut trails in fall or early winter so they are ready when the snow comes.
My lot in Gilbert borders state or mine land. Can you clear to the line?
We clear to a line that is marked on the ground. On the Range, the neighbor may be a mining company, the county or the state, and their rules can be strict. Find your pins or get a survey before we start, then we clear your side only.
What does it cost to clear a lot in Gilbert?
It depends on how thick the brush is, how big the stems are, the ground and the access. Calvin walks the lot and gives a free estimate for the job you describe. Our forestry mulching cost page explains what moves the price.
