Customer Testimonials

 We are a producer of exotic mushrooms and many varieties of nut trees.  Our project was to clear trees and stumps so we could expand our operation.  Prior to the job being started, Geoff and I had talked in depth about my specific preferences of which trees to cut or not and the irregular area I wanted cleared. I was planning on being there during the project to help remind him about the specifics but I tore a ligament in my ankle right as the work was being started. I was worried things would not be completed to my specifications without clear reminders but much to my surprise the job was completed extremely well. By my calculation it would have cost me about the same amount of money in my own labor but would have taken me over 2 months to do what took him 3 days. Very worth it!"

I will be talking with him next year to come back for more mulching.  His services and attention to my preferences exceeded expectations!

-- J. Markston - White River Junction VT


Geoffrey and his clearing machine are amazing....he is able to clear the land with efficiency and extreme thoroughness. I was beyond delighted with the work and how the property was left. Any other contractor would not have been able to do this sort of work at this level. I HIGHLY recommend him.

-- D. Culbertson - Spear Cemetery Rd - Reading VT


Saw Geoffrey,  Beech Hill Vegetation, working on a large and heavily wooded property near my home. I was fascinated at the amount of clearing in such a short time. I asked about his clearing about 35 stumps from my property and agreed to hire his services. The 35 stumps disappeared so quickly that I asked him to keep going on other parts of my property until about 160 stumps were cleared and my property began resembling a country club. I was (and still am) amazed at the transformation of my property and have more improvement plans for next spring.

-- B. Stout - Spear  Cemetery Rd  -  Reading, VT


Beech Hill Vegetation has done 6 projects for me and in each case a great job.  One in particular was the cleaning up of our steep hill side behind our house.  It’s average slope  in excess of 25 degrees.  Beech Hill Vegetation was recommended with a lot of skepticism on my part after a lot of failure with other groups.  I was truly amazed.  No other equipment can come close to his Ventrac Slope Mower. Highly Recommended.                     

-- P.  Ceulemans - Hadlyme, CT


Geoff has been providing services to us for over eight years.  From the installation of a deer / predator fence keeping our pets safe to allowing us to keep our landscape free of the endless chewing. We can grow a real garden because of his fence. He does routine  maintenance for invasive species with our latest project to grind at least fourteen 6"-12" stumps and mulch countless fallen dead trees in our surrounding woods.  We can not recommend him enough. 

-- S.  Williams - East Haddam, CT


Geoff is a unique individual with his company offering great service.  He is a forward thinker with a an eye for perfection.  We have known Geoff for 14 years and used his services for 12 of those years.  He started in vegetation protection systems.  The prevention of deer infestation on your property.  For us he designed and built a protective system which not only protects our critters, but allows me to grow a very exotic garden. He built a fence which was architecturally pleasing  which melds into the environment transitions/integrates to other fences seamlessly.  Matt’s biggest concern was seeing a fence, but his fence is nearly invisible. Matt really liked this aspect.  Geoff continues to exceed expectations. We would highly recommend him.  He is ever expanding drawing on over 40 years of land management and stewardship.

-- Dr M.  Elgart & L. Elgart  - Lyme, CT


We are a working farm consisting of 300 acres with 250 acres in sugar maple production and a managed forest under land use.  Beech Hill Vegetation's responsibilities are to keep the remaining  50 acres of pasture  mowed.  Within the forest they maintain all cross  country  ski trails, logging roads & walking trails.  It is a yearly process on the  ever encroaching forest growth.  The past several season have been a real challenge especially with the extremely wet seasons.  Fortunately BHV added to their fleet a unique slope mowing tractor which has tremendous float and the ability to transverse the steepest of terrain.  We are grateful for their service and keeping our property beautiful.

-- High Meadow Farm - Reading, VT


We   are  in  VT  current  land  use  and  with  it  our  farm  is  both  an  equestrian  haven  and  a  managed  wood  lot.    Per  the  land  use  requirements  we  must  follow  a  plan  to  stay  current  and  compliant.    For  us we  were  up  for  a  wood  harvesting.    What  was  left  after  the  work  was  done,  left  me  full  of  tears.    I  searched  three  years  until  I  came  upon  Beech  Hill  Vegetation,  not  only  did  they  meet  all  my  criteria,  but  they  exceeded  it  too.    Geoffrey  and  his  crew  removed  dead  falls,  snags,  dead  trees  and  loads  of  slash.    Additionally they  restored  my  trails  and  created  a  new  one.    I highly  recommend  Geoffrey  &  Wayne,  they  are  most  proficient  in  what  they  do  and  returned  my  land  to  what it  was.

Echoing  a  recent  posting  on  Front  Porch  Forun  about  Geoffrey  and  Beech  Hill  Vegetation ,  I  would  recomend  this  service  to  anyone  whose  wooded  lands  have  become  overgrown  or   unusable.    Geoffrey  has  completed  his  second  job  for  us  and  we  are  most  pleased  with  his  ability  to  turn  snags  and  deadfalls  Into  something  we  can  enjoy  and  use.  

- -  E.  Bauernschmidt  -  Silver  Hill  Rd,  West  Windsor  VT


Property  Enhancements  at  Winter  Discounts.    My  note  here,  Front  Porch  Forum,  is  a  nod  to  Geoffrey  and  Beech  Hill  Vegetation.    He  was  great  to  work  with  and  delivered  as  promised.    He  cleared  loads  of  old  scrub  and  slash  in  no  time  at  all.    We  thought  we  would  have  to  wait  until  spring  to  do  this  project,  but  Geoffrey  assured  us  that  winter  was  one  of  the  best  times  to  work.    With  the  ground  frozen  he  was  able  to  traverse  our  lawn with  no  damage.    This  is  a  great  machine  and  a  fantastic  local  business .    I  heartily endorse  Geoffrey  and  Beech  Hill  Vegetation  for  tree ,  brush  and  land  clearing  on  your  land.

Discussion & Customer's FAQs

For property which is forested in the state of Vermont the land owner has choices with one of these choices choosing to put his or her property into a category called "current land use" whereby the tax burden is reduced because the property is being utilized in part for agricultural purposes. For this, there are guidelines to be followed with some coming under the category of land Clearing.  In forestry, the land owner is required to use a registered forester who draws up a plan.  The plan describes how this parcel is to be maintained with periodic harvesting of timber as part of this plan.  It is the aftermath of this process where the land owner is left disappointed.  The disappointment is with the harvesting process.  Speak to any logging operation and their primary goal is to get in and out as quickly as possible.  This process follows our close analogy of the home owner who utilized a lawn service.  The lawn service cuts your grass, does a quick trim and blow then departs your property.  But the job is far from complete, the weeds on the walkway or in the garden/flower beds still need to be removed and the bushes need pruning. The same can be said of the logging operation the aftermath is a less than pristine. It is here the land owner is seeking help.  As a forestry consultant we specialize in the harvesting aftermath.   


The most frequently asked questions are:

1.  After we have had our property logged how do we get rid of the stumps and left behind slash piles, dead falls, damaged trees and trees not harvested without incurring more unsightly damage?

2. Can it be done economically? 

3. Are there any methods which provide a ecologically friendly process which does not include slash and burn?


The answer to all these questions and more is Yes.  Please contact us and we would be more than happy to schedule a site visit , outline our methods & processes as well as the sustainability and cost benefits.

Slope Mowing

When our customers have a pasture which has become overgrown with weeds, heavy brambles and is just outright steep, we have you covered.

Cross Slope Mowing is a Challenge especially when the Grade Reaches 58% . This is Not an Issue.

Even when traversing 45 Degrees or cross sloping at 40 we are comfortable and safe.
