Has done over 20 hours of work at my acreage helping clear brush and invasive cedar trees as well as helping to mow a fire break for an upcoming controlled burn. All the work has been excellent and And Dylan does a great job. I would highly recommend this company for any land clearing, mulching, tree removal that you may need.
Called Dylan with some tree and shrubs to be removed. He got right on it and made my property look great. Did a great job.
Good communication and efficient work
Dylan was great to work with. I had certain things I wanted untouched and he listened well and was very careful to work around those things. I would definitely use him again!
Great job with demolition and sight cleanup and mulching
Awesome company to do business with. Excellent experience and knowledge of his craft. Communication was top notch. Results were better than expected.
Dylan communicated effectively, was punctual and went the extra mile with our project. My only regret is that we didn’t have him out sooner. We hope to work with Defreece land services again!
Dylan did an exceptional job with our property. We needed 20+ locust trees removed and mulched to make our property safe for the kids as well as open it up for a more usable space. We also had a lot of brush and fallen branches to clean up. Great experience and communicated well from initial quote to finish. Highly recommend
Dylan did a great job with a tough task of cleaning up tornado debris. Will be having him back for other tasks.
Dylan made fast work of our job actually finished it in less time than he quoted me. Will have him back again. Very thorough and conscientious of the area
I had a couple acres that had little locust and evergreen trees that were starting to take over and some dead overburden I gave dylan a call and he fixed me up big time fair cost and quality work give him a shout for all your land clearing needs
DeFreece Forestry & Construction did a phenomenal job clearing my overgrown property! The team was very professional, efficient, and left everything looking perfect. I could not have been happier. They also had great communication and do top-notch work—highly, highly recommend!!
Does fantastic work everyone should hire him. Has 35 years of experience operating heavy equipment and made my lawn look like a golf course.

Dylan DeFreece is the best. Very hard worker. He actually cares about the project and takes a lot of pride when it's complete. I had him clear out a bunch of trees and things around my pond and on the property to really open everything up. The other nice thing is that he has the right equipment to do the job so it takes the appropriate amount of time and not someone with only a skid steer that will take a week or more to do something. You can get done in two or three days. He's also someone I can recommend and know that it will get done right for you. I did not know him before this project but I'm very glad I do now. I'll be having him back more than a few times.
It was great working with Dylan and they did a great job on our fencerow cleanup project - we definitely plan to work with them in the future.
Dylan was a pleasure to work with from prompt first contact, through quotation, provision of great service (forestry mulching), to review of work, and invoice. Will definately be working with Dylan and DeFreece again. Thank you Dylan!
I would definitely recommend DeFreece Land Services. From start to finish Dylan kept me updated, provided good suggestions, and explained the process. He’s a good honest guy and I’d gladly do business with them again!
Knowledgeable. Professional. Class act. Great experience with Dylan and glad I went with him out of the 4 other quotes I received.
Dylan was very friendly, and definitely wanted to make sure to know what we wanted done. He did very good work and definitely wanted us to be satisfied with his work. We will recommend DeFreece Construction to everyone who needs his work.
Great job very happy with the finished product! Highly recommend.
Excellent communication, flexibility, and professionalism! A+ and would highly recommend! Dylan was great to work with!
We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service we received from DeFreece Construction. We needed significant land clearing done, along with mulching, and Dylan delivered beyond our expectations. He clearly understood the complexities of the land clearing process and executed it flawlessly, leaving our property looking remarkably clean and well-prepared. The mulching work that followed was equally impressive. Beyond the quality of his work, Dylan is simply a pleasure to work with. He's reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about his clients' satisfaction. He made the entire process stress-free. If you need land clearing or mulching services – you'll be in excellent hands with DeFreece Construction.
Dylan did a great job clearing brush and trees from my property! Hard worker, completed the job as promised!!! I highly recommend him!
If you’re looking for a professional to mulch and clean up your timber ground, I strongly recommend Dylon from DeFreece Forestry. He was very prompt to respond and an aggressive worker to get the job done and done right! Thanks man I’m so pleased with your work !
Dylan did a great job on my acreage. It was done as he said and quickly. Very responsible young man. Very professional. I would not hesitate to refer him or have him come back. Keith welling
Nothing but a positive experience with this company! Awesome communication and great results. Our property has never looked better. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for mulching or land clearing services.
We had a great experience with DeFreece Land Services. Dylan took our jungle of a ditch and turned it into a park! No mess was left behind. Dylan was very professional and very easy to work with. I highly recommend DeFreece Land Services.
We were given an estimate upfront. He was able to come down the following Saturday and do the work clearing some overgrown cedar trees from our property to open it up more. His price was right in line with his estimate he showed up on time to the job and did amazing work. I would highly recommend his company to anyone wanting brush or tree areas cleared out.
Dylan and crew cleaned up some fence rows and drainage ditches for us. Wow, what a difference. Fast and efficient at what they do. I’ll have them back next fall to do some more. Thanks!
Great fella, great operator at great value. This business is on my recommend list.
Dylan has done what he said he would include and I have ask him to complete some additional land clearing .
Dylan did an amazing job. Had a few things on my end that changed and he adjusted to it. Lots of overgrowth and managing the hills. Left a nice clean finish! Even pulled a large tree out of the crick.
Dylan did brush clearing and grading at our new property and the quality of his work was top notch! He saw the project through, worked within our budget, and delivered excellent results! I would recommend DeFreece Construction and Land Management to anyone.
DeFreece Construction and Land Services performed an excellent job clearing non-native timber understory while taking care to protect our large oaks and other desirable trees. The work was completed timely and with good owner consultation. I highly recommend DeFreece for land clearing and related Iowa native woodland restoration services. Marc D. 4/21/2025
Will definitely hire Dylan again. Phenomenal job on our acreage clearing honeysuckle, buckthorn and cedars from hilly terrain. Dylan was very professional, communicated well throughout the process exercised care for our property as if it were his own. He did such a great job our neighbor came down and lined him up to come out to their property the next weekend!
Dylan did a fantastic job of clearing fence rows to build new fence. Way less soil disturbance as compared to a dozer. No seeding and I can keep it mowed up. Dylan also created some trails to access food plots. I will definitely use him again later this spring!
we had dylan come out to clear trails in the timber and he was easy to work with and good at communicating what was going on while the job was being done. came out and walked the property with me and was understanding as to what i was looking for. got the job done in a timely manner and done very well. a good improvement to the hunting property.
This company blew me away, They were great to work with, professional, knowledgeable and you definitely get your moneys worth. We are still in shock at how much they got done in ONE DAY. We will definitely have them back for future projects.
Had a great experience with them and my food plots look great!
Cody Regennitter and I recently worked with Dylan of DeFreece Built, LLC to install a custom stained poplar stair skirt and baseboard for our basement stairs. We cannot recommend DeFreese Built, LLC enough! Despite being a relatively small job, we heard back from Dylan very quickly to bid the project, and he was very quick to get us on his schedule. Dylan was very professional, and reasonably priced for a completely custom project. We highly recommend!
