Property Rehabilitation

Service

Transform your forest or yard and bring it back to life.

Inherited a property that has been let go? Bought a lot where the previous owner deferred everything? Whole-property rehab is what we do: assess forest health, remove hazards, thin overcrowded stands, address erosion, and restore land that is healthy, walkable, and defensible.

Deferred tree work is one of the most reliably deferred forms of maintenance a seller can hand on, so this is a common first-year project for new owners.

We can phase it across seasons so the cost arrives gradually, or run a larger crew and compress it.

How the job runs

A full property assessment with a written, prioritised plan — red items now, yellow this year, green to monitor.
Species inventory, because the management approach for aspen, lodgepole and Gambel oak are genuinely different.
Hazard removal first: dead standing within reach of structures, drives, and anywhere people gather.
Thinning, ladder-fuel reduction, and defensible-space work as one combined pass.
Erosion and drainage attention where clearing has exposed slope, then a written record of everything done.

What drives the price

We quote on site, in writing, after walking the work with you. These are the variables that move the number:

Acreage and how much is wooded versus open
Backlog — how many years of deferred work are on the ground
Proportion of hazard trees requiring rigging near structures
Slope and access, which determine hand work versus equipment
Whether the work is phased across seasons or compressed

On a Wasatch Back property

On a newly bought Wasatch Back lot the pattern is consistent enough to predict: dead standing conifer near the roof line, a slash pile behind the outbuilding, beetle-killed trees along a property line, and oak brush grown into the first thirty feet. A full rehab on a sizeable parcel can run well into five figures, which sounds steep until you compare it against a dead lodgepole on the garage in November or a fire that reached the house because the first five feet were planted in juniper. Front-loading year one costs less than reacting in year three.

Questions we get asked

We just bought the property. Where do we start?: A written assessment with a traffic-light priority list, before any work. It tells you what is urgent, what can wait a year, and what is fine — and it becomes your baseline record for insurance and any HOA conversation.
Can the work be spread over several years?: Yes, and on a large parcel it usually should be. We sequence by risk so the highest-priority zones are handled first.
Is it worth doing before selling?: Often, yes. Visible dead standing timber and slash piles read as deferred maintenance to a buyer, and a documented rehab removes an inspection conversation.
Do you replant?: Where it makes sense, and in Park City it may be required — removing Significant Vegetation under a permit can carry a replacement obligation. We advise on species that suit the elevation and do not create a new fuel problem.
