The company has been operating since 2018 and specializes in stump excavation (pulling root balls out rather than grinding them in place), full site clearing and forestry recycling through a commercial horizontal grinder, serving New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. The handful of reviews on file are positive: one customer described Kirk Trucking clearing multiple areas of logs and stumps from their property, calling the work "fast, dependable" and highly recommending Braden by name. There isn't yet much independent feedback to draw on — only two Google reviews are on record — so the track record, while positive, is still thin. Anyone considering a larger clearing or site-prep job should ask for references from comparable projects and get a written quote before booking. **Strengths:** - Highly recommended — customer praised fast, dependable land-clearing work **Concerns:** - Thin review count — only two Google reviews on file so far ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Owner-operated by Braden Kirk, a former NH firefighter, headquartered in Hopkinton with a working yard in Manchester, NH _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://kirktruckingllc.com) — “Kirk Trucking & Forestry Recycling's own detailed site for an owner-operated (Braden Kirk) land-clearing, stump-excavation and forestry-recy…” - [Official Website](https://kirktruckingllc.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Owner-operated by Braden Kirk, a former NH firefighter who runs the equipment and answers the phone himself; no d…” - In business since 2018 (eight years) _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://kirktruckingllc.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Owner Braden Kirk started hauling logs part-time in 2018, later buying a commercial horizontal grinder and …” - [Official Website](https://kirktruckingllc.com) — “Self-reported 8 years in business” - Specializes in land clearing, stump excavation and forestry recycling via a commercial horizontal grinder _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://kirktruckingllc.com) — “Kirk Trucking & Forestry Recycling's own detailed site for an owner-operated (Braden Kirk) land-clearing, stump-excavation and forestry-recy…” - A customer described Kirk Trucking clearing multiple areas of logs and stumps and called the work fast and dependable, highly recommending Braden _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tkWVVUaHpZMEZzVDJsNlpqVldPRnAwYTB0WldtYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xa105c1c1078503d2!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkdYUThzY0FsT2l6ZjVWOFp0a0tZWmc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Kirk Trucking cleared multiple areas of logs and stumps on our property after we had cleared a few acres.
