Here is the final product after taking out the high risk blow over trees, the less desirables and the pile of ugly brush. Doing this greatly lowered the fire risk and created some defensible space!

Here are some before pictures of a project we completed early last week! This place had a pile of trees from when the customer started adding on to their cabin as well as a handful of trees that were less desirable and had a great potential of blowing over onto the cabin.

Clearing the way for progress! 🪵💪

This week, we were out ripping out old, burnt fence posts left behind by the Elk Fire. Beyond just pulling the old posts, we prepped and leveled out the bench so the fencing crew can easily bring their machines in and get the new line up without any roadblocks.

Preparing the ground right makes every step after it go smoother.

🌲DEFEATING THE ENCROACHMENT: SAVING YOUR LAND
Did you know that Conifer and Juniper encroachment is one of the biggest threats to healthy Wyoming grasslands and meadows?Multiply what a conifer tree can soak up (50 gallons per day) & across thousands of acres of encroachment you start to understand what it’s doing to your land. This is why we do this work—to remove encroaching conifers and restore native grasslands back into the plains they were meant to be.
🥅Our goal is to return water, nutrients, and space to the land that needs it most.
Why Restoration Matters:
💧Water Consumption: Invasive Junipers and Conifers drink gallons of water a day, stealing moisture that should be fueling your native grasses.
🌾Lost Grazing: As they thicken, they shade out forage, turning productive ranchland into unusable thickets.
🔥Fire Risk: These resinous trees act as "ladder fuels," increasing the risk of high-intensity fires on your property.
🚜 Reclaim Your Property At High Country Contracting, we specialize in Forestry Mulching to stop encroachment in its tracks. Our process turns these water-thirst trees into a mulch that protects your soil and helps those native grasses return immediately. From fence lines to open meadows, we help you take your land back.

🚜 MORE THAN JUST A CLEAR VIEW
Did you know we offer more than just fire mitigation and forestry mulching? At High Country Contracting, we take care of the critical infrastructure that keeps your land functional—things like irrigation cleaning, culvert installs, and road repairs.

As we head into the dry season, keeping your roads and water sources clear is about more than just looks:

🛣️ Road & Access Visibility
Overgrown brush along easement roads isn't just an eyesore; it’s a safety hazard. We mulch back the heavy vegetation to open up your lines of sight, making those narrow turns and drives safer for you and your neighbors.

💧 Water Efficiency & Stock Ponds
Every drop counts. We provide Ditch Cleaning and Creek Bottom clearing to ensure your irrigation systems are moving water efficiently. By mulching down the thirsty, invasive growth around ditches and stock ponds, we help reduce unnecessary water consumption so more of it stays where your crops & livestock needs it.

🏗️ Heavy Infrastructure
From installing a new 48" culvert to repairing washed-out access roads, we have the iron and the 15 years of logging and ranching experience to get the job done right.

We’re proud to serve Sheridan, Buffalo, and the surrounding communities.

🛡️ IT’S NOT JUST THE FORESTS 🛡️
Don't let the green grass or mountain views fool you—fire danger is everywhere right now, and it’s moving fast.

We’ve seen recent activity in Big Horn County, and it’s a stark reminder that some of our biggest risks are hiding in plain sight: our creek bottoms.

Why Creek Bottoms?
Those beautiful old creek beds are often packed with dead and dying Cottonwoods. These trees drop massive amounts of fuel—dry limbs, bark, and l—creating a perfect environment for a fire to take hold and spread rapidly through the drainage.

🚜 Protect Your Ground
In a dry year like this, preparation is the only insurance you can count on. We specialize in clearing these high-risk fuel loads to keep your property—and your legacy—safe.

Don't wait for the smoke to settle in.

🛡️Protect Your Legacy🛡️
Don’t let a green spring fool you—Preparation is the best insurance.

We’ve all enjoyed the recent moisture, but it isn't enough to eliminate the threat. Fires are already blowing up across the country, with activity as close as Red Lodge and the Black Hills.

The Reality: Dense fuel loads don’t disappear with a few rainstorms. Fire mitigation through mulching is a significantly cheaper "insurance plan" than the alternative of losing your property and structures.

✅Where to start? We focus on the high-impact areas:

✅Fence Lines & Roadsides: Ensure clear boundaries and safe access for emergency vehicles.

✅Dense Pockets: Thinning out thick brush and timber to keep fire on the ground and out of the crowns.

✅Stock Ponds & Water Sources: Clearing the perimeter doesn't just protect the area—it ensures firefighters can actually reach the water if they need to defend your home.

Be prepared, not panicked. An afternoon of mulching is a small investment to protect a lifetime of work.

Don't wait until the smoke is on the horizon. Let’s get your property ready today. 307-620-1970🛡️🌲
