Serving Hudson & the St. Croix River Valley
Hudson sits on a stunning bluff above the St. Croix River — one of the most scenic and ecologically important rivers in the upper Midwest. The bluff landscapes, wooded ravines, and riverside properties of Hudson frequently require professional brush management to control invasive species and maintain the natural beauty that defines this river town.
Our track-driven mulching equipment is ideal for Hudson’s bluff terrain and sensitive St. Croix riverbank environments. We clear without chemicals, without burning, and without hauling — leaving stabilizing mulch that protects Hudson’s famous bluffs from erosion.
