Our primary land development method utilizes advanced forestry mulching techniques. This innovative process allows our machines to cut, grind, and clear vegetation in a single pass, significantly saving you time and money.
Our one-step process eliminates the need for multiple machines or cleanup crews, streamlining the entire project.
We prioritize sustainability. Mulched material remains on-site, naturally enriching your soil and helping to reduce erosion. This means no burning and no hauling, minimizing environmental impact.
We can precisely clear only what you want removed, carefully preserving valuable trees and vegetation. This makes it perfect for creating trails, fence lines, firebreaks, and restoring wildlife habitats.
Enjoy a cleaner, more usable property with improved aesthetics and accessibility, increasing your land's overall value.

Land development is the process of transforming raw or overgrown property into a usable, build-ready site. At F&P Forestry, that covers the full scope — clearing trees and brush, excavation, grading, drainage planning, and site preparation. We take land from its natural state and shape it into something you can build on, drive on, or simply use.
Our land development services include forestry mulching, timber harvesting, grapple saw tree removal, wildfire prevention clearing, site grading and preparation, and drainage work. Whether you need a single lot cleared or a large parcel developed from scratch, we handle the project from first cut to final grade.
Yes. F&P Forestry is based in Wasilla and works throughout Southcentral Alaska, including Palmer, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Eagle River, and surrounding areas. If you have a parcel outside these communities, reach out — we're happy to discuss your project and let you know if we can make it work.
Forestry mulching is a specific technique — one machine cuts, grinds, and clears vegetation in a single pass, leaving nutrient-rich mulch on the ground. Land development is the broader scope of work that often includes mulching as a first step, followed by excavation, grading, drainage, and site prep. Think of mulching as a tool; land development is the full project.
Absolutely. In fact, that's some of our most common work in Alaska. Our equipment is built for dense, overgrown terrain. Whether it's decades of regrowth, standing deadwood, or thick spruce and birch, we have the machines and experience to get it cleared efficiently.
We take erosion control seriously. Our forestry mulching method leaves shredded material on-site as a natural ground cover, which actually helps stabilize soil and reduce erosion. For larger development projects, proper grading and drainage planning are built into the work to ensure long-term stability and prevent runoff issues.
Yes. Selective clearing is one of our specialties. If you want specific trees preserved, a tree line maintained, or only certain vegetation removed, we work precisely to those specifications. This is common for landowners who want to open up a building site or create driveway access while keeping mature trees for privacy or aesthetics.
Permitting requirements in Alaska vary by municipality, borough, and project type. F&P Forestry focuses on the physical land clearing and preparation work — for permit questions specific to your parcel, we recommend checking with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Planning Department or the City of Wasilla depending on your location. We're happy to discuss your project and help you understand what preparation work is needed.
We use a range of purpose-built machinery including forestry mulchers, grapple saws for tree removal, and excavation and grading equipment. Our grapple saw allows for safe, precise tree and limb removal from the ground — ideal for tight areas or near structures where felling isn't practical.
Project costs depend on the size of the parcel, terrain, density of vegetation, accessibility, and the scope of work involved.
