Land clearing and forestry mulching from the wooded Kettle Moraine lakes to the farm fields south of East Troy.
Tell us about your East Troy property — we’ll get right back to you.
East Troy covers the northeast corner of Walworth County, and its land splits sharply. The northern part, around Lake Beulah, Booth Lake, and Potter Lake, is broken, hilly, wooded Kettle Moraine country, with lakefront and bluff acreage where mature trees and heavy undergrowth share the same steep ground. That is prime forestry mulching territory: Proper Grounds can selectively thin brush, buckthorn, and crowded saplings on a wooded lake lot in one low-impact pass, open a view or a building site, and leave the mulch in place instead of bulldozing and burning.
The southern and western reaches of the Town of East Troy flatten into level-to-rolling farmland, with Honey Creek winding through and crop fields, pasture, and rural building lots that grow up in box elder and sumac along the edges. Out here the work is reclaiming overgrown fields, clearing fence lines, grinding stumps, and prepping sites. We handle all of it: land clearing and forestry mulching, stump grinding and removal, brush and lot clearing, bush hogging and field mowing, land grading and dirt work, gravel driveways and access roads, plus small-scale demolition. Family-owned, with free on-site estimates and a price-match guarantee.

Walworth County East Troy gives you two jobs in one township. Up north in the Kettle Moraine, the ground around Lake Beulah and Potter Lake is hilly and wooded with clay-loam soil on the higher land, so selective mulching protects slopes and root systems better than blanket clearing, and any shoreline work brings county and DNR shoreland rules. The lower tracts hold softer marl soil and wet spots, which we work in firmer, drier conditions to avoid rutting. South and west, the level-to-rolling farm ground clears and grades easily, but neglected fields and fence lines fill in fast and need reclaiming.
