Family-owned · Chadds Ford, PA
A family land clearing company in the Brandywine Valley
Huntly Land Co. is a family-owned forestry mulching and land clearing operation based in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
Huntly Land Co. runs a Cat 285XE high-flow track loader with a drum mulcher, an industrial brush cutter and a grapple across the Brandywine Valley, Chester County, Delaware County and northern Delaware.
The name comes from the hunt country west of Chadds Ford, where pasture, hedgerow and fence line have to be kept open every season or the woods take them back. Huntly is family-owned, and an owner is involved in every job, from the first photo to the final walkthrough.
We prefer forestry mulching to bulldozing and burning because it leaves roots in the ground and a chip layer on the surface. Slopes stay put, stream-adjacent ground stays stable, and there are no burn piles or haul-off loads. When a job needs more than mulching, the equipment line expands to match it.
Meet Waylon.
Waylon is real. He is our white Labrador, and he comes to work every day. He is not afraid of horses and he is not afraid of the machines; he has seen plenty of both. You will probably get to meet him on your site walk.
The assistant in the corner of this site is named after him. It is Huntly’s project assistant: it asks four questions and passes your request to a person; Waylon himself sticks to the field.
Equipment and attachments
Compact track loader
Low-ground-pressure track carriers work slopes, paddocks, soft fields and stream-side ground without the rutting wheeled equipment leaves.
Drum mulcher
Dedicated drum mulcher heads reduce brush, saplings and small trees to a soil-holding mulch layer in place, with no burn piles and no root balls to clean up.
Industrial brush cutter
Industrial brush cutters handle multiflora rose, autumn olive and briar standing, for pasture, paddock and fence-line work.
Rock grapple
Grapples move fallen timber and debris to reopen a blocked lane, working alongside a mulcher head on storm and clearing jobs.
Five steps, in this order.
- Send photographs and a dropped pin
- Private site walk of the ground
- Written proposal
- Confirmed date before mobilization
- Work and final walkthrough
The Brandywine Valley first, then Chester County and southeastern Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, and Sussex County, Delaware (Inland Bays and Delaware Bay shoreline). Delaware County, PA and Kent County, DE are also inside the region. If a property sits just past that line, ask; travel is usually the smallest figure on the proposal.
Send us the details.
