A Message From Joshua
My name is Josh, and I run Alpine Arborworks out of Big Sky, working properties across Southwest Montana. I've spent years learning this terrain, the elevation, the fire risk, what the insurance companies actually require, so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
Every property up here is different. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all clearing. Tell us your goals for the property, and we'll walk the land and map out exactly what makes sense, insurance requirements included.
Got a property that needs a plan? Reach out, we're happy to talk it through.

How it works
Three steps from overgrown to open land — no runaround, no surprises.
01
Request a Quote
Fill out our quick form or give us a call. Tell us roughly how many acres and what you're dealing with — that's all we need to get started.
02
On-Site Estimate
We come out to walk your property — eyes on the land, not a guess from Google Maps. You get a straight quote with no surprises, no commitment.
03
we get it done
We show up with the right equipment, clear your land in one pass, and leave the mulch right on the soil. No hauling, no burning, no mess.
Defensible Space & Fire Mitigation
Insurance requirements for wildfire risk aren't going away, and they're not getting easier. We know exactly what Southwest Montana insurers require for defensible space, and we clear your property to meet it, without stripping the land bare.
We selectively clear ladder fuels and reduce fire risk around your home and structures, the same care we bring to every property. Certified arborists lead every job, so you get exactly what's needed, nothing more.
Stay covered. Stay protected. Without losing what makes your land yours.
FAQ
What size properties do you work on?
Anywhere from half an acre to 100+ acres. Our sweet spot is properties 2 acres and up — the kind of land that's gotten seriously overgrown and needs real equipment to tackle it right.
Do you come out to the property before giving a quote?
Yes, always. There's no way to give you an accurate quote without seeing the land in person. Every property is different, and we want to make sure we can get you the best possible price and service. We'll schedule a time to walk it with you, talk through what you want done, and take it from there.
How long will it take to clear my land?
Most jobs take anywhere from one day to a few days depending on acreage and how dense the growth is. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we come out for the quote!
What happens after I fill out the form or Call?
We'll reach out to get some basic info about your property and schedule a time to come take a look. From there we put together your free quote. The whole process is low-key — no sales pressure, just a straight conversation about your land and what it needs.
How much does this cost?
Honest answer: it depends on your land. Acreage, density, terrain, and what you're trying to accomplish all affect the price. We won't throw out a number we can't stand behind without actually seeing the property. That's what the free quote is for! We'll walk your land with you, understand exactly what you're dealing with, and give you a straight number. No pressure, no obligation.
Are You a Property Manager?
We work directly with property managers across Southwest Montana. Tell us the property's requirements, we handle the walkthrough, the clearing, and the documentation you can hand straight to the owner or the carrier.
