Serving Oakdale & Central Washington County
Oakdale is a suburban Washington County community where wooded natural area corridors and stormwater pond buffers weave between residential neighborhoods. Invasive buckthorn has colonized many of these green spaces, crowding out native vegetation and threatening the ecological health of Oakdale’s parks and natural areas.
Aspen Land Management serves Oakdale property owners, HOAs, and municipalities with efficient forestry mulching. We clear suburban natural areas with minimal disruption — no heavy equipment damage to turf, no burning, no chemical treatments.
