SERVICES OFFERED BY IOWA FOREST & PRAIRIE

Professional land management services designed to restore, improve, and maintain your property—built on experience, safety, and long-term land health.

FORESTRY MULCHING &

BRUSH CUTTING

Forestry mulching and brush cutting are fast, low-impact ways to clear overgrown property without piles of debris left behind. Our drum mulcher grinds trees, saplings, and dense woody material into mulch on the spot, while the mini skid’s brush cutter makes quick work of tall grass and thick vegetation.

From opening trails to prepping sites, we turn unruly ground into clean, usable space — efficiently and ready for what’s next.

PRAIRIE PLANTING & ESTABLISHMENT

Prairie planting and establishment takes planning, patience, and the right approach. From precision seeding — even in winter conditions — to early weed control with targeted spot spraying, every step is designed to give new growth the best start possible.

The result? Diverse, thriving prairies that bloom year after year, improve habitat, and create landscapes you can be proud of.

PRESCRIBED FIRE

Prescribed fire is a safe, carefully planned tool used to restore prairies, control invasive growth, and improve overall land health. By reducing built-up thatch and unwanted species, fire makes room for native plants to return stronger and more diverse.

From prairie burns to managed brush piles, we help reset the landscape and spark healthier regrowth for seasons to come.

EROSION CONTROL

& SEEDING

Erosion control and seeding protect your property while setting the stage for healthy, long-term growth. We stabilize vulnerable soil, reduce runoff, and establish strong vegetation that holds everything in place. From new construction sites to repaired grades and disturbed ground, we use proven methods to help grass and native cover take root quickly.

TRAIL & REC-USE AREA MAINTENANCE

Our trail and recreation area maintenance services keep paths clean, defined, and ready for use. Using zero-turn mowers, we maintain smooth, consistent edges and manageable growth along trails and open spaces. We also refresh and reinforce surfaces with properly spread mulch to improve footing, reduce erosion, and extend the life of the trail.
