Last 6 months: 7 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read The rig could not make the turn onto a recent customer's road, so Scott parked it a distance away and drove the forestry mulcher to the property; that customer said the land was cleared of invasive weeds and brush and is now walkable. Hudson Valley Forestry says on its website that it is not a logger or a tree service, and that it brings in specialized equipment to reclaim land so the landowner can maintain it. Its website lists Torrington, New Hartford, Harwinton, Burlington, Litchfield, Canton, Goshen, Norfolk and other towns as its service area. A recent customer said overgrown brush and thickets were turned into usable land in a few hours, with the mulching head grinding everything down where it stood. On a new 3-acre property, a recent customer said Scott cleared brambles, dead trees and an overgrown meadow in days. A recent customer said Scott forest-mulched their back woods. Goats are part of the work too: a recent customer rented 30 goats from HVF for 24 hours to eat down a large area of thorny, weedy meadow and said the electric fence worked. A 2026 customer said a steep hillside was cleared of thick brush and small saplings in a few hours. In a 2025 review, a customer said HVF cut trails through their property, and the machine took down mature standing trees. A 2025 customer said Scott cleared close to an acre of an overgrown tree grove in half a day while preserving healthy trees. In 2025, a customer said stumps were removed, trees were stacked for firewood, and smaller trees and debris were mulched in place. A 2025 customer said Scott cleared almost ten acres of invasive species and shares photos regularly. A 2025 customer who gave four stars said there was an unexpected issue on the job, and that things were resolved as best they could be. **Strengths:** - Brush clearing — a recent customer's overgrown land was usable in a few hours - Forestry mulching — a recent customer had their back woods mulched - Goat rental — a recent customer rented 30 goats for 24 hours **Concerns:** - An unexpected issue — a 2025 customer said it was resolved as best possible ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A recent customer said Scott drove the forestry mulcher to a property the rig could not reach and cleared invasive weeds and brush _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pGSmNXVmpaM3BIZFVSa1QwUXpRM1paVDJ0a05IYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xefc32f05a876ce31!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjFJcWVjZ3pHdURkT0QzQ3ZZT2tkNHc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Scott was responsive and professional.
