We provide forestry mulching, land clearing, and brush clearing in Remington, VA — including riverfront and Rappahannock-adjacent properties. Day rate is $3,000–$3,500 with a Cat 275 XE-class compact track loader and a written estimate after a free site visit.
Remington, VA — what we do here.
Remington is southern Fauquier — the Rappahannock River is the county line, and most of the equestrian and working-farm land in the area sits on or above it. That riverfront character changes how we work here. Riparian buffers, erosion-prone slopes, and steep grades down to the water all factor into the equipment selection and the work plan. Most contractors lump Remington in with the Warrenton service area and price it as if it were the same; the reality is the parcels here often need a more careful hand.
Our Remington customer is usually one of three: a riverfront-property owner with 10–30 acres including steep slopes to the Rappahannock, a working-farm owner with cattle or hay ground that needs annual fence-line maintenance, or a hunt-country edge owner along the Casanova/Sumerduck line who's clearing for a building site or a riding ring. Each of these has different brush, different access, and different success criteria. We tailor the work plan accordingly.
The Cat 275 XE compact track loader is the right machine for the southern-Fauquier terrain. Low ground pressure for slopes, compact enough to follow narrow farm lanes, and aggressive enough to take down 6–8" cedar in a single pass. We don't run a logging-class machine on a residential or working-farm parcel — the impact on the soil and the turf doesn't justify it.
Pricing is a flat $3,000–$3,500 day rate. The drive from Lovettsville is roughly 75 minutes — long enough that we typically book Remington jobs as multi-day blocks for efficiency. After a free on-site walk-through we lock the scope and the days in writing.
The properties we serve in Remington: 5–50 acre riverfront and working-farm owners. Many properties have steep slopes down to the Rappahannock and require selective clearing that respects riparian buffers and erosion-prone ground.
Local landmarks we work near: the Rappahannock River, Kelly's Ford (Civil War battlefield), Remington Train Station, the historic Remington Bridge, agricultural fields along Route 28 and Route 29.
Forestry Mulching, Land Clearing & Brush Clearing in Remington, VA
Forestry Mulching in Remington
Remington mulching often involves the steep slopes down to the Rappahannock — we use the Cat 275 XE's low ground pressure to work safely on grade, and we leave a heavier mulch layer to slow erosion. Riparian buffers are honored as marked.

Riverfront land clearing requires erosion-control thinking: we leave root mass intact where the slope demands it, work in cuts that protect the natural drainage, and stage haul material away from the riparian edge. We coordinate with state DEQ guidance on stream buffers when relevant.

Long working-farm drives off Route 28 or Route 29 are common — we power-rake, regrade, and reset drainage. Many southern-Fauquier drives need it after a wet spring or a hard winter.
Learn more →One contractor, three services, every Remington property.
Most Remingtonjobs combine two or three of our services in one visit. We'll walk the property with you, scope the forestry mulching work first, then add land clearing for the fence-lines and brush-clearing perimeters that need it, and finish with a driveway regrade while we're already on site. One trip charge, one written estimate, one finished property.
We also work neighboring Upperville, VA, Warrenton, VA, and The Plains, VA every week — if your property sits between Remington and any of those, we often block-schedule the trip for efficiency. Free site visits across the corridor are answered in under an hour during business hours.

Remington — straight answers
Do you work the Rappahannock riverfront, including steep slopes to the water?
Yes — that's a regular part of our Remington work. The Cat 275 XE has low enough ground pressure to operate safely on grade, and we honor riparian-buffer requirements. We also leave a slightly heavier mulch layer on slopes to slow erosion during the first growing season.
Is forestry mulching allowed in stream-buffer zones in Fauquier County?
Mulching that doesn't grade or alter the stream-bank is generally allowed within Fauquier County's resource-protection-area rules, but the specifics depend on the parcel. We check the parcel against county and DEQ stream-buffer guidance before we start so you don't run into a stop-work issue.
How far south do you serve from Lovettsville?
Remington is at the south edge of our regular service area — about 75 minutes from our Lovettsville HQ. We treat it as a normal service call and don't add a trip charge. For multi-day jobs we'll often block-schedule a few Remington and Sumerduck properties together for efficiency.
Can you clear a building pad or a riding ring on a sloped riverfront parcel?
Yes — that's a specialty for us. We map the cut, stage the material to protect the slope, and finish the pad with grading that respects the natural drainage. We'll bring in stump grinding as an add-on when you need a flush finish.
We're a short drive from Remington.
About 1 hour 15 minutes from our Lovettsville HQ. Our shop, our crew, and our equipment all base out of Lovettsville, VA.
