Eastern Minnesota’s Regional Forestry Mulching Experts
Eastern Minnesota encompasses the Twin Cities metro and the scenic lake country and river bluffs stretching east to the St. Croix River. From suburban Woodbury to the rural Chisago County lakes region, land clearing needs are as diverse as the landscape — and Aspen Land Management serves them all.
With a base in New Richmond, WI just across the St. Croix River, we reach all of eastern Minnesota within the same day. Our Minnesota clients include suburban homeowners managing invasive buckthorn, rural landowners clearing farm acreage, and municipalities maintaining natural area corridors.
