What is Forestry Mulching?

This process eliminates the need for multiple machines, such as: bulldozers, excavators, tree shears, wood chippers, stump grinders, and hauling equipment. But what is forest mulching?

Forestry Mulching is a non-traditional method of land clearing where you selectively cut brush, vines, bushes and even trees up to a certain diameter, with a single machine. This piece of equipment, called a forestry mulcher. It eliminates the growths listed above in an environmentally friendly way. It leaves behind a beautiful mulch blanket across the forest floor, leaving on the large trees in full view.

This protective layer of organic matter is left to break down and be reintroduced into the area as topsoil. This makes it richer and more fertile. The biodegradable top-layer (mulch) becomes part of the soil structure. It then acts as a natural protective barrier over the soil that stabilizes the ground. This prevents erosion and encourages native plant growth.

Why Forestry Mulching?

When you need land cleared, for private or commercial use, there are a few options. The most common is to have it excavated with a bulldozer or other heavy equipment. Then you burn all the organic waste left behind. After that, you build and re-plant to suit your needs.

However, a better idea may be to hire a forestry mulching company to mulch your wooded area. You will find out if you have any large trees worth preserving. Then you can determine the flow and usage of the property, while preserving what may end up being a natural feature.

Wildfire Prevention

Prevention of wildfires starts with mulching proactively to get rid of the fire hazard. Forestry mulching service will get rid of dry, leafy plants, dead wood, and any other brush that can easily catch fire and spread fire. Reactive mulching can be used to create a firebreak during an active fire. And after a fire, mulching can help prevent soil erosion.

Habitat Conservation

Forestry mulching can also be a useful tool in maintaining wildlife habitats of animals like deer, doves, and other animals. It helps because mulching can remove invasive species that encroach on food sources for wildlife. Mulching can also restore water sources that have been blocked due to overgrowth.

Invasive Species Control

Invasive plants can invade the native habitat of trees and plants. A few types of invasive species are tamarisk, Russian olive, and buckthorn. Mulching can take care of these and more.

Pine beetles are also an invasive species, and these beetles eat their way through trees, leaving behind rotting timber. Rotting timber can fall onto other trees, harming them, and can also be tinder for wildfires. Mulching can reduce crowding on trees and reduce fungus.

What Type of Machinery is Required for Forestry Mulching?

There are different types of mulchers. Some are small like lawn mulchers, and some are large for commercial jobs. But these are some of the main types of mulchers used for forestry mulching:

Freestanding Mulchers: These are easily mobile and made of plastic. The leaves, debris, and small limbs are fed through the opening and shred into small pieces.

Lawn Tractor Mulchers: If you're picturing an attachment pulled behind a lawn tractor, you'd be right. These mulchers are small and most often used for lawns. They are very efficient and their size is great for large yards and small plots of land.

Commercial Mulchers: These mulchers are most suitable for construction sites and clearing land for brand new construction. They are rather large, which is why they are used for new home and commercial land clearing. They are very durable, rugged, and have more power than the other mulchers.

Dual-Purpose: The dual-purpose mulcher can mulch the vegetation, which then goes into the shredder (which is attached) and makes smaller pieces. It's a multi-tasker. This makes the mulch more healthy for the soil.

Electric Powered Mulchers: Electric mulchers are for simpler jobs. The electric versions are quieter for residential neighborhoods. They are eco-friendly so they cause less pollution, but the electric cable limits how far they can reach.

Gas Powered Mulchers: These mulchers are rather mighty and are used most often for dense tree limbs and brush. They can be used for a variety of different jobs.

Advantages of Forestry Mulching

There are quite a few advantages to forestry mulching. Trees and brush can be cleared there on the spot. There’s no need to cut them first and then take them to another site. This eliminates a few steps. Cleanup is also easier. And since there is likely no need for a bulldozer, an excavator, chippers, or grinders in a lot of cases, there are fewer emissions and less fuel burned. It’s environmentally friendly.

I Was very satisfied with the work the guys did on my property. They were very good at their jobs and the price was where I needed it. They were very kind and didn’t leave a mess when they left like some other companies I have had come do work for me. I would recommend them to anyone seeking their kids of service. Top notch company.

Thank you for taking down the tress and getting my home ready for hurricane season. The guys were professional and took all necessary steps to ensure the trees were taking down safely and removed. Thank you again.

I used this company for a pretty large project (for me)...they removed several trees and stumps....along with clearing and grading several acres. They brought in many loads of fill and graded it like a surgeon. I never give reviews but they did such a fantastic job I had to. They did keep me constantly informed of every step involevd in the process (I know...that never happens with companies like this) Every person I have referred them to (and I usually never refer either) has given me the same feedback (I check!) You can confidently use these guys...they are the absolute best!!!

Todd W

They responded to my call immediately, was on site within a week and performed a 5 day project in 3 days; because each day was 12 hours straight. I could not be happier and highly recommend LC to all. The operator even removed quite a few additional small trees not included, because I changed my mind in the last minute. I don't usually leave reviews but I hope this helps.

The Land Clearing team came over to clear out some trees and those irritating Florida palmetto bushes. What I thought was going to take days was completed in no time flat. These guys have some really cool toys for big jobs. I highly recommend and WILL USE this team again. From the friendly staff that answered my calls to the obviously experienced staff clearing the land, I've never had a job done so well and so quickly.
