Forestry mulching that clears the land and leaves it covered
A drum mulcher head on our compact track loader grinds standing brush and small to medium trees into mulch right where they stand. One pass, no burn piles and no truckloads of debris.
A good fit when you have
- Dense buckthorn, box elder, aspen and cedar thickets
- Brush mixed with trees that are too big for a brush hog
- Overgrown trails, access roads and building sites
- Slopes and wet edges where hauling logs out is a headache
What you get
- Brush and small to medium trees reduced to mulch on site
- Stumps cut low to the ground
- A layer of wood chips that holds soil, slows erosion and breaks down over time
- A walkthrough first, so you know exactly what comes out and what stays
Good to know
- We mark what stays before we start: a good oak, a property corner, a fence.
- Rocks, buried wire and old fence are the usual surprises. Tell us what you know about the land.
- Frozen or dry ground is easiest on the property. Ask what the season allows.
- Trees bigger than the mulcher handles are quoted separately. We will say so at the walkthrough.

Common 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.
