Forestry Mulching in Clare County, Michigan
Overgrown fields, fence lines, and wooded lots cleared in a single pass, with the mulch left right where it falls.
What it is
What is forestry mulching?
Forestry mulching uses a high horsepower machine with a spinning drum of carbide teeth to grind standing trees, brush, and saplings into fine mulch right where they grow. There is no cutting, stacking, or hauling, and no burn piles to deal with afterward.
The mulch layer that stays behind protects the soil from washing out, holds moisture, and slows down new brush from coming back. Over time it breaks down and returns nutrients to the ground.

Forestry Mulching questions
What happens to the mulch?
It stays on the ground as a protective layer. It helps control erosion, keeps the soil from drying out, and slows new brush growth while it breaks down.
How big of a tree can be mulched?
Brush, saplings, and small to medium trees are what forestry mulching handles best. Call and describe your property and we will tell you what makes sense.
Can you leave certain trees standing?
Yes. Selective clearing is one of the biggest advantages of mulching. Flag the trees you want to keep and we work around them.
