In the video, we begin by demonstrating our brush clearing process, which starts with the efficient use of a power rake. This powerful tool is designed to cut down the overgrown brush and transform it into a fine mulch that can later be composted, enriching the soil for future gardening endeavors. The power rake is an attachment for the Vermeer S925TX, a rugged and highly reliable mini skid steer that excels in tough landscaping tasks. By utilizing this advanced machinery, we can significantly reduce the time required to complete the job, often cutting the workload in half, which translates to both time savings for us and cost savings for you, the customer.


Once we have successfully mulched the overgrown brush, the next step in our process involves the careful removal of the mulch. For this purpose, we employ the grapple attachment, which is incredibly effective and versatile. We use the grapple much like a hand rake, skillfully gathering all the mulch together and then securely picking it up for transport. After collecting the mulch, we haul it off in our truck to be composted properly, ensuring that we are environmentally responsible in our practices.


In addition to brush clearing, we often encounter other challenges, such as the need to remove old concrete tiles from the ground to achieve a level surface. Using the grapple once again, we methodically scoop the tiles out from their resting place, picking them up one by one with precision. Each tile is carefully loaded onto the truck bed, ensuring that we can dispose of them properly. Furthermore, there may be an old fence that requires removal. In this case, we find that the Vermeer S925TX is more than capable of handling such tasks. Since it’s a small wire fence, we can easily crumple it up using the grapple and haul it away without any hassle.


The final phase of this job is crucial: we need to smooth out the ground to prepare it for new grass growth. To achieve this, we utilize our tried-and-true leveling method, which involves going over the targeted ground with the leveler in vertical lines. We ensure minimal overlap during this process to prevent any streaking, which can occur if the lines are repeated too closely together. This technique not only enhances the overall appearance of the area but also minimizes roughness caused by the mini skid steer’s caterpillar tracks, resulting in a more uniform surface. If you find yourself in need of brush removal or any other landscaping services, don’t hesitate to reach out to us via phone or email for a free price estimate.
