Priced to your property
We do not publish flat rates, because the same acre can be a two-hour job or a two-day job. We walk it, then we write it up.
What sets the price
- Acreage and how much of it needs clearing
- How thick the growth is, and what it is made of
- Size and number of trees
- Terrain: slopes, wet ground, rocks
- Access: gates, driveways, distance from the road
- Extras: chip haul-off
What you can expect
- A free on-site walkthrough
- A written quote that spells out what is included

- Fully insured work
Questions
How is forestry mulching different from traditional land clearing?
Traditional clearing usually means a dozer or excavator pushing trees and brush into piles, then burning them or trucking them off. That takes more equipment and more days, and it scrapes up the soil. Mulching works in place: one compact track loader with a drum head cuts the growth and chips it onto the ground. You skip the burn piles, the burn permits and the hauling, and the topsoil stays where it is. Forestry mulching also tends to cost much less than traditional land clearing.
How much does it cost?
There are no flat rates. Every property is different, so we walk it with you for free and give you a written quote. Acreage, how thick the growth is, tree size, terrain and access all affect the price.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured. Ask and we will send a certificate.
What happens to the mulch?
It stays on the ground. It covers the soil, slows erosion and breaks down over time. Most people leave it in place. If you want it hauled off, ask and we will quote it.
How big a tree can the mulcher take?
Small to medium trees, plus any amount of brush. Bigger trees are looked at one by one during the walkthrough so you know what is included before you agree to anything.
What is the difference between mulching and brush hogging?
The mulcher chews through brush and trees and leaves chips on the ground. The brush hog cuts brush and grass faster where there are few larger trees. It is the same machine with a different head, so we use the one that fits, or both.
Do you work outside the counties listed?
Ask anyway. If it is within reason, we will tell you whether the trip makes sense.
