Forestry mulching explained
Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses a purpose-built mulching head to grind brush, saplings, and small trees into mulch on site.
Instead of cutting and piling, hauling debris away, or burning, the material is processed where it stands. That is why many landowners prefer it when they want a cleaner finish with less mess and fewer extra steps.
It is a good fit for thick brush, overgrown edges, new trails and access lanes, fence rows, and properties where you want to keep the ground stable instead of scraping it bare.
If you are not sure whether your property is a fit, send a few photos and a rough pin and I will tell you what I think.
Is this the right service for you?
Best fit
- You want an overgrown property cleaned up into a usable, park-like space
- You need access cleared for trails, hunting lanes, fence lines, or a future project
- You want brush, saplings, and small trees handled in a single pass
- You want the material mulched on-site instead of piled up for hauling or burning
- You care about keeping the ground intact and avoiding a torn-up finish
Not a fit
- You need major grading, fill, or excavation changes
- You want mature timber removed as logs or firewood
- You need full stump pulling or deep root removal everywhere
- The work is in a tight residential setting close to homes, landscaping, or overhead lines
- The area is full of hidden wire, scrap, or demolition debris that cannot be removed first
- The work is in a regulated wet area and requires permit decisions before any clearing
Next step: Send a few photos plus the address or a map pin and I'll tell you the most realistic path forward.
Is Your Property Overgrown?
Many landowners in Northeast Wisconsin have property that's grown out of control. Maybe you inherited land that hasn't been managed in decades. Maybe you bought a wooded lot that's too dense to walk through. Or maybe brush is slowly taking over your fields and fence lines.
Whatever the situation, overgrown land is frustrating. It's unusable, unattractive, and often getting worse every year as brush spreads further.
Who This Service Is For
What You Get
After we clear your property, you'll have:
- Immediate access — walk your land the day we finish
- Clean ground — mulch left on-site, no debris piles
- Visible property lines — see what you actually own
- Usable space — ready for whatever comes next
Our Brush Clearing Process
Site Details & Assessment
You tell us about your property — size, location, what's growing there, and what you want cleared. Share any concerns about access, utilities, fencing, or areas to avoid. Photos or property maps help. For larger or complex jobs, we may schedule a site visit.
Plan & Estimate
We review your property details and provide a clear estimate. This includes what we'll clear, what we'll leave, approximate timeline, and pricing. No surprises — you'll know exactly what to expect before we start.
Clearing Work
We bring our forestry mulcher (a Cat 275 XE with HM418 mulching head) and get to work. The machine cuts, grinds, and mulches vegetation in a single pass. Brush, saplings, and small trees up to roughly 4–6 inches are reduced to mulch that stays on the ground.
Finished Result
When we're done, you have cleared land with a layer of mulch on the ground. No burn piles, no debris to haul, no waiting. Walk your property the same day and start planning what's next.
What We Can (and Can't) Clear
Forestry mulching works great for brush and small trees, but it has limits. Here's what to know:
Best For:
- • Brush, saplings, small trees (typically 4–6" diameter)
- • Buckthorn, honeysuckle, prickly ash, wild rose
- • Box elder, poplar, and other fast-growing species
- • Overgrown fields and neglected woodlots
- • Understory clearing in mature timber stands
Limitations:
- • Large trees require different equipment
- • Rocky sites may slow work or cause equipment wear
- • Hidden wire or metal debris can damage the mulcher
- • Steep slopes may be inaccessible
- • Regulated areas (wetlands, shorelines) may need permits
Before We Arrive
- • Mark any underground utilities (call 811)
- • Flag any trees or areas you want to keep
- • Remove or flag old fencing and wire
- • Identify septic systems, wells, and tile lines
- • Let us know about any hidden hazards (old foundations, debris, etc.)
What the Finished Result Looks Like
After forestry mulching, your land will look noticeably different — but it won't look like a golf course. Here's what to expect:
Forestry mulching method
Forestry mulching is the method we use for most land clearing jobs. It is a single-pass approach that grinds brush and smaller trees on-site so you are not left with piles to burn or haul.
This page is the best place to understand what the method is, what it is best for, and what to expect on your property.
Pricing and process
How pricing works
Every property is different, so pricing depends on what slows a machine down or speeds it up. The biggest drivers are brush density, how much maneuvering is needed, terrain, access, and whether we are working around fences, buildings, or wet ground.
If you want a fast estimate, send a few photos and a rough idea of the area you want cleared. If you prefer, we can walk it together and talk through options.
