What forestry mulching is
A rotary mulcher mounted on a skid steer, dozer, or excavator grinds trees, brush, and vegetation in a single pass, down to a flat layer of wood chips that stay on the ground. No piles, no burning, no debris hauls. The ground is ready to walk on and ready to seed.
When mulching beats traditional clearing
When you want to keep the soil intact. When you can't burn. When you're clearing around keeper trees, ponds, or structures. When hauling adds days of dump runs. When the land is going back into pasture, a food plot, or a trail system, the mulch layer suppresses weeds and builds topsoil as it breaks down.
What gets ground, what doesn't
Up to 8-inch stems go through in one pass. Larger trees like post oak, mature live oak, and big mesquite trunks we'll drop and grind separately, or leave as keepers on your call. Wire fence, concrete, and metal debris have to come out before we mulch. We walk the site with you first so nothing surprises the cutter.
After the job
The mulch layer is usually four to six inches deep, spread flat. It decomposes over the next twelve to eighteen months, returning nutrients to the soil. You can seed directly through it, run cattle on it once it settles, or let it mellow and come back next season with clean ground.
