Frequently Asked
Questions
What is Forestry mulching?
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses a specialized machine to: Cut, grind, and clear unwanted brush, saplings, and smaller vegetation without disturbing tree roots. Shred vegetation and trees into small pieces, leaving no burn piles or heavy equipment marks. Distribute wood chips or debris over a forest floor. Provide a fast and efficient alternative to traditional land clearing methods
Is forestry mulching less invasive then land clearing?
Forestry mulching is better than traditional land clearing because it clears vegetation in a single step while grinding it back into the soil as nutrient-rich mulch. This reduces erosion, avoids burning or hauling debris, protects topsoil, and minimizes damage to the surrounding land—making it a faster, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly option.
How long dose forestry mulching take?
Depending on the size of the area and the geography of the property forestry mulching can actually be a quicker method then bringing in much larger equipment. Since in most cases the mulch is left behind the clean up process after the job is also much simpler.
Can the mulch be removed?
Yes, the mulch can be removed from the property at the customer’s request, but this adds time and can also cause erosion concerns depending on what the end result is for the project.
What is the cost per acre?
The cost per acre can range depending on the size, amount, and location of the trees and brush. We provide all our customers with an estimate that we do on site after a thorough inspection of the area you want to have mulched.
What Is SubSoil Mulching?
Subsoil mulching breaks up compacted ground and mulches roots and organic material below the surface. This process improves soil structure, levels uneven areas, enhances drainage, and adds nutrients directly into the soil—creating a healthier foundation for building, planting, or future land use.
Is SubSoil Better Then Forestry Mulching?
Subsoil mulching and forestry mulching each play an important role in eco-friendly land clearing. Forestry mulching manages surface vegetation while preserving topsoil, and subsoil mulching improves soil health below the surface by breaking compaction and recycling roots. Together, they offer a balanced approach that restores the land while protecting the environment.
Can SusSoil Mulching Be Used After Forestry Mulching?
Yes! Using subsoil mulching after forestry mulching removes remaining stumps and root systems while grinding the mulch into the soil. This process leaves you with a smooth, level surface that’s enriched with organic matter and ready for planting, building, or landscaping.
Can SubSoil Mulching Be Used To Remove Brush From The Surface?
Yes! Subsoil mulching can remove surface brush and even small trees by grinding them directly into the soil. This process clears the land while enriching the ground with organic material, leaving a clean, level surface without the need for burning or hauling debris.
Can SubSoil Mulching Be Used To Level An Area For Building Purposes?
Yes! Subsoil mulching can be used to level an area in preparation for building and, even after construction, to reshape the land for better drainage and create a healthy, new yard. It improves soil structure while smoothing out high and low spots, giving the property a stable and attractive finish
