FORESTRY MULCHING
What It Is
Forestry mulching is an effective and eco-friendly solution for managing unwanted vegetation. Our crew will gradually reduce encroaching growth into fine, manageable debris using one of our specially tuned mulching units, making multiple passes to ensure the cleanest finish.
Benefits
As the name implies, forestry mulching leaves behind a fine layer of mulch and eliminates large debris that would inhibit placing structures or operating equipment. Unlike land clearing, forestry mulching leaves larger trees untouched; this allows for more useable space while still retaining canopy and shade. The trees left intact have less competition in their root zones, resulting in fuller healthier growth. The resulting mulch provides various benefits such as weed suppression, erosion control, and soil enrichment, and eliminates the need for hauling away debris. Land that has been mulched has more curb appeal, making it more valuable should you decide to sell.
Applications
Construction & Development:
- Forestry mulching can be used to prepare your land for a new home while still preserving mature trees. We can plan everything from the driveway to your future pool patio and leave your favorite trees with plenty of room to flourish.
Agriculture:
- Forestry mulching helps to aerate soil and create a healthy environment for farming, gardening, and planting food plots.
Environmental Management:
- Forestry mulching is an effective method of maintaining healthy biodiversity. Clearing invasive species helps create a healthy environment for wildlife, restoring natural habitats and promoting the growth of native vegetation. The mulch that remains acts as erosion control, protecting the top layers of soil from wind and rain.
Other:
- Forestry mulching can be used to create room for parks and other recreational areas. We can clear trails for any hobby, be it hiking, biking, ATVs, or horse riding. We also provide preventative maintenance, creating fire breaks to protect your property during dry seasons.
RESULTS
Before
Prior to mulching, this property was severely overgrown and full of unlocked potential. Our customer requested that we clear out the encroaching vegetation and make room for a home to be moved in, while maintaining a natural look and leaving specific trees untouched. We take care not to damage the roots of these trees, as this can cause them to fail.
After
Our crew moved in and cleared the underbrush and smaller trees, leaving those specified by the customer intact. The remaining trees will now have less competition in their root zones and canopy for new growth. They will continue to provide sanctuary to small wildlife while a new home provides the same for our customer.
