Frequently Asked Questions

Forestry mulching is an efficient, eco-conscious method to clear land without invasive stump removal or large debris piles that require burning or hauling. Our advanced equipment delivers rapid, precise results, producing customizable mulch: coarser for low-maintenance landscapes or finer for immediate seeding. Unlike heavy machinery like bulldozers, mulching minimizes soil disturbance, reducing erosion risks, especially on slopes, making it ideal for sustainable, high- end land management.

Forestry mulching may appear costly upfront, but its efficiency and minimal environmental impact make it highly cost-effective. Our state-of-the-art equipment clears multiple acres daily, outpacing traditional methods while preserving your property’s natural ecosystem, ensuring long-term value for discerning clients.

Mulching leaves stumps at ground level, which may not suit sites requiring deep excavation, such as building foundations. In these cases, traditional stump removal or a hybrid approach may be better. We tailor solutions to align with your landscaping or construction goals, ensuring a seamless outcome.

Our equipment clears 0.5–3 acres per day, depending on terrain, tree density, and weather. For larger or complex projects, we deploy additional machinery to meet deadlines. A complimentary on-site consultation provides a precise estimate tailored to your property.

Pricing is customized to your project’s scope. A single mulching unit typically costs $2,500/day, clearing 1–3 acres based on tree size and terrain. We offer discounts for multi-day projects, multiple machines, or additional services. Free estimates ensure transparency and alignment with your vision.

We work Monday through Saturday, from dawn to dusk, to accommodate your schedule and ensure timely project completion.

We manage projects of all scales, from 1-acre estates to 100-acre+ land tracts, delivering precision and care for every client.

Our equipment efficiently mulches trees up to 8 inches in diameter, ideal for underbrush and smaller trees. For larger trees, we recommend complementary excavation services, seamlessly integrated to meet your needs.

We can mulch stumps to ground level for a clean, natural finish or fully extract them with excavators for construction sites, such as building pads or roadways, based on your project requirements.
