Land Clearing & FORESTRY MULCHING
Forestry mulching is the single step process by which undesirable vegetation – trees, brush and stumps – is ground into mulch by mobile machinery. The mulch is spread as evenly as possible over the entire cutting area to stunt initial re-growth, prevent erosion, and replenish the topsoil base. Unlike other clearing methods, forestry mulching leaves no brush piles, and there is no burning or scarred land. Damage to “keeper” trees is greatly reduced because forestry mulching protects the vital topsoil layer and delicate “feeder” roots. The landowner is left with a fresh carpet of mulch, which naturally decomposes into rich topsoil. Most importantly, mulching is faster and cheaper than traditional land clearing methods.
Pasture Restoration
Whether your pasture has been sitting neglected for a long period of time or you have invasive growth taking up space that could be used for livestock- we can help you bring your pastures back to life. Below are Before & After shots of a pasture project clearing ginger, faya and elephant grass.
Invasive Growth Management
Proactive mulching can reduce stress on trees caused by crowding, making them less susceptible to attack from invasive species. Mulching invasive species in place can control the spread of invasive plants, insects, and fungus. Check out the before and after photos below of a ginger eradication project. Turning ginger into mulch and leaving young Koa trees unharmed.
Stump Grinding
Following a tree removal or tree failure, there is usually a stump that remains and protrudes from the ground, which can create a tripping hazard, especially in high traffic zones. Additionally, stumps could be harboring undesirable pests or diseases. By grinding out a stump, you are accelerating natures decomposition process. Toxic chemicals or burning can take years to break down a tree stump.
