The BillyGoat Subsoil Mulching Difference
Traditional land clearing requires multiple contractors and leaves roots behind. Subsoil mulching does it all in one step.
How It Works:
- Grind surface vegetation and trees into mulch
- Mulch & bury roots up to 10 inches deep
- Level & recompact for a seed-ready or build-ready finish
