Forestry mulching in Montgomery, AL
Forestry mulching in Montgomery, AL
A mulching head on a track loader, turning brush and small trees into mulch that stays on the ground.
Forestry mulching grinds brush, undergrowth and small trees into mulch right where they stand, with a mulching head on a track loader. Nothing gets piled or hauled, and the mulch stays on the ground. Around Montgomery, AL, it's a good fit for grown-up lots, trails, fence rows and understory you want opened up while the bigger trees stay.
Some land doesn't need trees pulled and piled. It needs the brush and small growth knocked down so you can see through it and walk it again. That's what forestry mulching is for, and it's often quicker and tidier than clearing when the goal is open ground under the trees you already have.
The red head beside William and James in the photo at the top of this page is a mulching head, parked on a job in the woods next to the loader it runs on. More about the two of us is on our About page.
What’s included
- Brush and understory. Thick brush and small trees ground down in place.
- Grown-up lots. Lots opened up so you can see and walk them again.
- Trails and lanes. Paths cut through the woods for walking, hunting or a four-wheeler.
- Fence rows. Overgrown fence lines cleared back.
- Keeper trees. The trees you want kept stay standing.
- Mulch left in place. No burn piles and no hauling: the mulch covers the ground.
When forestry mulching beats land clearing
If you're building a house, you'll usually want land clearing, so the ground can be cut and graded. If you just want the brush gone, mulching is often the better tool. It's quick on light growth, it leaves the ground covered instead of bare, and there's nothing to pile or burn afterwards.
Mulching on hunting and recreational land
A lot of the land around here is hunting and recreational land, and mulching suits it well. Shooting lanes, trails, food plot edges and grown-up fence rows can be opened without tearing up the ground. Tell us what you want to see when we're done, whether that's a lane you can see down or a ridge you can walk, and we'll work to it.
What the ground looks like afterwards
Mulching leaves a layer of chewed wood over the ground where the brush stood. It holds the soil, keeps dirt from washing on slopes and breaks down over time. The trees you wanted kept are still standing, with open ground under them instead of a wall of brush.
What moves the price of forestry mulching
How many acres, how thick the brush is, how big the trees are and how easy the ground is to get around on. A grown-up fence row and a few acres of thick understory are different jobs. We'll walk it and give you a free estimate.
Mulching a fence row or a property line
Grown-up fence rows and property lines are some of the best places for a mulcher. It works right along the line and turns a wall of brush and vines into a strip you can walk, with no piles left behind. For rows that need a wider cut or saplings taken out, see fence line clearing.
