Brush Removal & Chipping: Cleaning Up Joplin Properties

Brush Removal & Chipping: Cleaning Up Joplin Properties

We see it all the time. A homeowner spends all weekend cutting down overgrown honeysuckle and dead limbs. They feel great—until they look at the massive pile of brush in the driveway.

Now what?

In Joplin, getting rid of brush can be a headache. Here are your options.

1. Burning (The Risky Option)

  • The Law: Burning inside Joplin city limits is strictly regulated. You usually need a burn permit, and you can only burn natural vegetation (no trash) during specific hours.
  • The Risk: Missouri winds are unpredictable. A small brush fire can quickly turn into a structure fire.

2. Hauling to the Dump

  • The Cost: You need a truck and a trailer. You have to load it, drive to the compost facility, pay the gate fee, and unload it manually.
  • The Effort: It usually takes 4-5 trips for a medium-sized brush pile.

3. Professional Chipping (The Easy Way)

This is what we do. We bring a commercial wood chipper to your driveway.

  • Speed: Our machine eats 12-inch logs instantly.
  • Volume Reduction: A mountain of brush the size of a car turns into a small pile of wood chips.
  • Zero Effort: We drag the brush. We feed the machine. You drink coffee.

The "Mulch" Bonus

Once we chip your brush, you have a choice:

  1. Haul Away: We blast the chips into our truck and take them away. Your yard is clean.
  2. Keep the Chips: We blast the chips into a pile for you. You now have free, native mulch for your flower beds or garden paths.

Got a pile? Don't let it sit there and attract snakes. Let us mulch it.
