Creating a great food plot or wildlife habitat is only the beginning. Keeping it productive takes consistent maintenance throughout the year.
At Pro Plots, we provide professional annual food plot and habitat maintenance in Green Lake, Wisconsin and surrounding areas for landowners who want their property maintained without having to handle every seasonal project themselves.
From food plot preparation and planting to mowing, vegetation management, habitat upkeep, and seasonal improvements, our father-and-son team can help keep your hunting and recreational property moving in the right direction year after year.
You own and enjoy the property. Let Pro Plots help handle the work that keeps it productive.
Ongoing Property Management for Wisconsin Landowners
Habitat changes constantly.
Food plots need to be replanted or maintained. Trails grow in. Unwanted vegetation takes over. Prairie areas need management. Wildlife patterns change. New opportunities appear throughout the property.
Instead of starting over every year, Pro Plots can provide ongoing maintenance based on your property and long-term goals.
Annual maintenance may include:
-
Food plot preparation
-
Food plot planting and reseeding
-
Soil testing
-
Mowing
-
Vegetation management
-
Seedbed preparation
-
Fertilizer and soil amendment planning
-
Prairie grass maintenance
-
Wildflower area maintenance
-
Trail and access maintenance
-
Brush and overgrowth management
-
Bedding and cover maintenance
-
Wildlife habitat improvements
-
Property inspections
-
Seasonal habitat recommendations
Every property is different, so annual maintenance can be customized around the work your land actually needs.
Annual Food Plot Maintenance
Food plots require more than one successful planting.
Soil conditions change, unwanted vegetation can become established, and planting needs may vary from season to season.
Pro Plots can help manage your plots throughout the year and prepare them for upcoming planting seasons.
Depending on your property, annual food plot services may include:
-
Soil testing
-
Existing plot evaluation
-
Mowing
-
Vegetation control
-
Soil preparation
-
Seedbed preparation
-
Spring planting
-
Fall planting
-
Reseeding
-
Overseeding
-
Plot expansion
-
Plot rehabilitation
Our goal is to help keep your food plots productive rather than waiting until there is a major problem.
Soil Testing & Plot Planning
Good food plots start with the soil.
As part of ongoing plot maintenance, soil testing can help identify changing soil conditions and provide better information for future planting decisions.
Depending on the test, results may provide information about:
Instead of applying products or planting seed based entirely on guesswork, soil testing provides useful information that can help guide the next steps.
Seasonal Habitat Maintenance
Wisconsin properties change dramatically throughout the year.
The work that makes sense in spring may be completely different from what needs attention in late summer or fall.
Pro Plots can help plan habitat projects around the seasons and your property's needs.
Spring
Spring may include evaluating winter conditions, soil testing, preparing plots, managing vegetation, trail cleanup, and planning upcoming habitat projects.
Summer
Summer maintenance may include mowing, vegetation management, trail work, property cleanup, and preparing for future food plot plantings.
Fall
Fall can involve food plot installation, reseeding, trail maintenance, access improvements, and preparing hunting properties for the season.
Winter
Winter can provide opportunities to evaluate the property, plan future projects, perform certain timber or habitat work when appropriate, and develop the next year's maintenance strategy.
Rather than treating each project separately, annual maintenance allows us to look at what the property needs throughout the entire year.
Prairie Grass & Wildlife Habitat Maintenance
Native prairie grass, wildflower areas, and wildlife cover need continued management after installation.
Establishing the planting is only the first step.
Without maintenance, unwanted vegetation may compete with the plants you are trying to establish and habitat conditions can change over time.
Pro Plots can help maintain existing:
-
Prairie grass areas
-
Wildflower plantings
-
Pollinator habitat
-
Pheasant cover
-
Turkey habitat
-
Waterfowl habitat
-
Wildlife corridors
-
Field-edge habitat
Our goal is to help protect the work already completed on your property while identifying opportunities for future improvements.
Maintain Trails & Property Access
Good access makes a property easier to maintain, hunt, and enjoy.
Trails can quickly become overgrown or difficult to travel if they are ignored.
Annual maintenance can include:
Keeping access routes maintained can also make future habitat and food plot work easier.
Maintain the Improvements You've Already Made
Many landowners invest significant time and money into improving their property.
Once food plots, prairie areas, bedding cover, trails, or other habitat features are established, maintaining those improvements can help protect that investment.
Pro Plots can return to your property as needed to assess what is working, identify areas that need attention, and complete seasonal maintenance.
That means you do not have to find a different contractor every time something needs to be done.
A Long-Term Plan for Your Property
The best wildlife properties are rarely created in one weekend.
They develop over time.
Annual habitat management allows you to continually improve your land instead of trying to complete every project at once.
One year may focus heavily on food plots.
The next may include prairie grass installation, additional cover, trail improvements, or another section of the property.
Over time, those individual projects can become part of a much larger habitat plan.
Pro Plots can help you prioritize projects based on:
-
Your budget
-
Property size
-
Current habitat
-
Wildlife goals
-
Hunting goals
-
Maintenance requirements
-
Previous improvements
Annual Maintenance for Hunting & Recreational Properties
