Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses a single machine to cut, grind, and clear vegetation. Forestry mulching is often done to remove underbrush and invasive species, in order to allow the rejuvenation of grasses and other food sources. The growth of these new grasses provides certain animals shelter, escaping the summer heat, and protecting themselves during the colder months. With our equipment we can also restore water source access that has been blocked due to tree and understory growth.

Proactive mulching reduces the potential for wildfires by eliminating small leafy plants, fallen trees, and other fuel sources. If left untreated, these fuel loads increase potential for fire, increase the heat intensity, and serve as fire ladders that enable fire to elevate quickly to the tops of trees which is where a fire can spread most quickly.

Advantages of forestry mulching:

• Eliminates many of the steps involved in land clearing such as site prep, cutting/felling/hauling, and site cleanup.
• Eliminates the need for multiple machines such as excavators, tree shears, wood chippers or grinders, and hauling equipment.
• Mulching is capable of clearing land of unwanted trees and brush with limited disturbance to soils or desirable vegetation.
• Mulched material can be left on the ground and will act as an erosion barrier while returning nutrients back into the soil through decomposition. Over time, grass will naturally grow through the mulch and can be maintained with mowing.
