Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching uses a single machine to cut, grind, and clear unwanted vegetation. Our forestry equipment can clear up to ten acres of vegetation a day depending on terrain, density, and type of material. Forestry mulchers are often used for land clearing, right of way, pipeline/power line, and wildfire prevention or management. 

By processing trees and other vegetation where they stand, mulching machines eliminate many of the steps involved in land clearing such as site prep, cutting, hauling, and site cleanup. This also eliminates the need for multiple machines such as a bulldozer accompanied by some combination of excavators, tree shears, wood grinders, and hauling equipment. On simpler jobs only one mulching machine is required, reducing fuel requirements and emissions.

Some mulching machines also have the ability to operate on steep slopes, and in small or tight areas, in poor ground conditions, and in wet or snowy weather. Mulching machines are capable of clearing land of unwanted trees and brush with limited disturbance to soils or desirable vegetation.

Traditional land clearing methods often present an increased risk of erosion by pushing over trees, uprooting the stump and roots, and substantially disturbing soils. In contrast, mulching the vegetation leaves the soil structure intact. The mulched material can be left on the ground, and will act as an erosion barrier while returning nutrients back into the soil through decomposition. Over time, grass will naturally grow through the mulch and can be maintained with mowing. That is why we strongly believe our approach is superior in today's flooded industry.
