We develop thriving wildlife habitats through strategic land clearing, nutrient-rich food plots, and hands-on wildlife management—creating balanced ecosystems that support healthier deer, turkey, fish and native species year after year!

A half-acre food plot tucked into the timber 🦌🌱

We cut an opening, hauled out the logs and debris, and prepped the forest floor before overseeding it with chicory. Clearing the canopy lets more sunlight reach the plot, while removing debris helps the seed make contact with the soil.

Chicory provides leafy forage, and placing the plot inside the timber puts a food source close to the cover deer already use. It’s a straightforward way to make a small area more useful for wildlife without clearing a large field.

Proper land management starts with cutting back the overgrowth. We handle the clearing quickly and leave your property cleaned up and looking the way it should—all in one day!

New levee is in and doing exactly what it was built to do. We’ve dammed up the water access to take control of the flow, giving us the ability to manage levels and create the right conditions to establish strong, sustainable food sources for wildlife.

It’s all about long-term habitat—better water control means better growth, and better growth means healthier wildlife.

The dogs weren’t scared to get in and take a peak for themselves 🐕😂

A healthy pond is all about balance. Every species plays a role, and when that balance gets thrown off, the whole ecosystem feels it. Crappie are a perfect example—they can reproduce quickly and, without proper management, start to dominate the pond. When they overpopulate, they compete heavily for food, stunt their own growth, and push out other fish species that help keep the system thriving!

Mother Nature threw a curveball with this wind storm, dropping trees across the road into the development. Our crew stepped in and worked through the mess to get everything cleared out and access restored. Hard work is what we’re built for. 🌬️🌳

Prescribed burning is one of the best tools for managing CRP and native grass. Fire removes built-up thatch, returns nutrients to the soil, and helps native grasses and wildflowers thrive. It’s a natural process that strengthens habitat for wildlife and keeps the ecosystem healthy. 🔥🌱

A few pictures of our current project in SE Iowa!
We are excavating the earth out of an acre and half duck hole! We are covering our stumps in dirt to jump start healthy vegitation and marsh growth! In spring time we will come in to plant millet and duck seed rows down the center! The water control to this hole will be fed off the Mississippi River!
We will have this hole set up to fill naturally and also the option to pump it over!!!
