Pasture weed and brush clearing in Corrales
In Corrales, weed work usually means a pasture, a paddock or a long fence line rather than a city lot. We cut it back, keep the trees and ditches you care about intact, and haul it off or leave it as you prefer.
Paddocks, pastures and the weeds horses leave behind
Horses graze the good grass and leave the rest, so a Corrales paddock can be bare in one corner and overrun with kochia and tumbleweeds in another. Pastures that haven't been irrigated or mowed for a season fill in quickly, especially on the river side of the village.
We plan the job around the animals and the gates. Small areas near barns and arenas get trimmers; open pasture gets a mower or skid steer with a cutting head when the ground can take it.
What a Corrales field cleanup usually covers
- Mowing or cutting pasture weeds down low
- Clearing kochia and tumbleweeds out of paddock corners
- Brushing fence lines where weeds and young elm sprouts tangle in the wire
- Cutting back around arenas, round pens and hay storage
- Raking and haul-off, or leaving cut material on the field if you'd rather
Ditch banks belong to the ditch
Many Corrales properties border acequias and laterals managed by the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District. We cut weeds on your side and don't push or drop material into the water. Work in a ditch or on its easement typically needs MRGCD permission, so ask them before you ask us to clear it.
Timing the work around water and soft ground
Fields close to the bosque and anything freshly irrigated can stay soft for days. Running heavy equipment across it leaves ruts that are harder to fix than the weeds, so we schedule machine work for when the ground is firm.
Farther west, where Corrales climbs toward Rio Rancho, the ground turns sandy and dries fast. Those lots can be cleared sooner, but they blow once bare, so we cut rather than scrape when the goal is weed control.
Brush & weed removal questions in Corrales
Can you mow around my cottonwoods without hitting the trunks?
Yes. We trim close to big trees by hand and keep mowers and machines back from the trunk, so bark and surface roots don't get scraped.
Do my horses have to leave the property while you work?
Not usually. They do need to be in a pen or pasture away from the area we're cutting, and we'll plan the order of work so you can move them as we go.
Can the cut weeds stay on the pasture instead of being hauled?
They can, and some owners prefer it. Weeds that have already gone to seed are better hauled off, and we'll point those out during the walk-through.
