Have you noticed some exciting activity and brightly colored equipment in your neighborhood? The Dutchman Tree Service team is working on performing a fuel reduction treatment in your area!
Who we are: Tree service, land stewards, tree lovers, doing what we know is best for safety and stewardship.
What we are doing: Wildfire Mitigation- The Dutchman Way, stewarding that property for the next generations!
How are we doing it: Using the most specialized equipment, ie. remote controlled chipper, mini feller buncher, etc.
Why are we doing it: To make the remaining trees resistant to wildfire, drought, pests, disease, blow down, and protect the assets on the property from a spreading wildfire!
What to expect from us:
We start early in the morning and end around 5 pm. Sometimes a little sooner or later depending on the day.
The equipment is noisy and sometimes dusty depending on the weather conditions. You might want to close house windows if you can see us working, this prevents dust inside your house.
We temporarily need to block the road to load/unload equipment, or remove trees alongside the road.
We will always give the right of way to emergency vehicles and residents along the road. Please be patient with us. We do not want to make anyone late and will let you through the area when it’s safe.
If the gravel on the road has woody debris present, we will clean it up before concluding the project.
What we ask of you:
Be friendly and supportive. We are trying to help the forest and prevent forest fires!
Project boundaries will be flagged clearly and will be only within the property lines of the landowner hiring us. If any misrepresentation of property lines is evident, please call Austin at 218-929-2502 as soon as possible.
Use extreme caution driving, walking, or passing by.
Keep animals on leashes.
Wear bright clothing if you are planning on walking within sight of the equipment.
If you have questions about our service or Dutchman Tree Service, Please call Austin at 218-929-2502. The crew members on the project have to stay focused on their job, as it is one of the most dangerous occupations. Less distractions make the whole project safer!
We sincerely thank you for your support of our crews and your neighbors who have hired us. Together we can prevent property loss from wildfires by reducing fire fuels!
