Site preparation for building, ponds and driveways
Before the excavator, the builder or the fence crew, the brush has to go. We clear the site with the drum mulcher and leave it open and covered.
A good fit when you have
- House, garage and pole barn sites
- New driveways and building access
- Pond and septic areas
- Lots that are too thick to survey or walk
What you get
- The site cleared to the lines you or your builder mark
- Brush and small to medium trees mulched in place
- A clear surface for the next contractor to start on
- A walkthrough with you or your builder first
Good to know
- We clear and mulch. We do not excavate, grade, haul stumps or pour pads.
- Share the stakes, survey or plan before we start so we clear to the right lines.
- Larger trees may need a tree crew first. We will tell you at the walkthrough.
- Timing helps. Clearing first lets your next contractor see the real ground.

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.
