How is forestry mulching different from land clearing?
Land clearing takes everything, brush, trees, stumps and root balls, and leaves you a bare, dressed lot ready to build. Forestry mulching takes the vegetation only. The root system and topsoil stay put, and the mulch mat holds moisture and prevents erosion. It's the right tool when you want to reclaim land without stripping it.
How big of a tree can the mulcher take?
Our mulcher comfortably handles standing timber up to about 8-10 inches in diameter. Above that, we drop with the excavator or chainsaw and run the tops through the mulcher. Really large hardwoods you want kept, we work around and leave standing.
Will the brush grow back?
The mulch mat suppresses re-growth for a full season on most species. Aggressive re-sprouters like privet, sweetgum and greenbrier come back over 1-2 years. For long-term control we can schedule a maintenance pass or spot-treat the stumps as we go.
How many acres can you mulch in a day?
Selective work in typical Mid-South underbrush runs 1-3 acres per day. Heavy thicket with mature saplings runs slower; light brush and shooting lanes run faster. We walk the tract with you and quote a real number, not a per-hour open ticket.
Do you leave anything to haul off?
No. Everything the machine touches ends up as mulch on the ground. That's the whole point, no piles, no burn permit, no dump fees, no scars.
