FORESTRY MULCHING IN NORTHEAST WISCONSIN
BRUSH CLEARING AND FORESTRY MULCHING IN NORTHEAST WISCONSIN
Turn overgrown brush, saplings, buckthorn, field edges, and wooded understory into clean, usable ground.
Truax Land Clearing uses a CAT 275 XE compact track loader with a forestry mulcher to reclaim rural property without burn piles, brush piles, or hauled-off debris. The machine grinds vegetation in place and leaves a mulch layer behind, giving you cleaner sightlines, better access, and land that is easier to walk, maintain, and use.
Based in Coleman, Wisconsin and serving rural landowners across Northeast Wisconsin.

TAKE YOUR LAND BACK
OVERGROWN LAND GETS HARDER TO USE EVERY YEAR
Brush does not take over all at once. It starts along a field edge, fence line, trail, or wooded corner. Then the saplings thicken, buckthorn fills in, and the parts of the property you used to walk through become hard to reach or easy to ignore.
Forestry mulching gives that ground a reset. The machine grinds unwanted brush and small trees into mulch where they stand, leaving cleaner sightlines, better access, and land that is easier to walk, maintain, and use.
COMMON PROJECTS
BUILT FOR BRUSH, SAPLINGS, BUCKTHORN, AND OVERGROWTH
This service is for rural landowners who need more than a mower and less than a bulldozer.
RURAL ACREAGE CLEANUP
Open neglected ground and make overgrown property easier to walk, see, and maintain.
FIELD EDGES AND OLD PASTURE EDGES
Push back brush and saplings that have crept into usable ground.
FENCE LINES AND PROPERTY LINES
Clear overgrowth so boundaries are easier to see, access, and maintain.
BUCKTHORN AND WOODED UNDERSTORY
Open thick lower growth while working around desirable mature trees where possible.
CABIN AND VACANT LAND ACCESS
Open dry access routes, trails, and overgrown areas on rural or recreational property.
WHY MULCHING WORKS
CLEAR THE OVERGROWTH WITHOUT LEAVING PILES BEHIND
Traditional clearing can turn into a second cleanup project: cutting, dragging, piling, burning, hauling, and repairing the ground afterward. Forestry mulching keeps the process cleaner. The brush is processed on site and left as a mulch layer, so the property opens up without a mess of brush piles.
CLEANER ACCESS
Walk the property, see the edges, and move through areas that used to be closed off.
LESS MESS
Vegetation becomes mulch instead of piles that need to be burned or hauled away.
EASIER MAINTENANCE
Once the area is opened up, it is much easier to mow, monitor, spray, or keep from closing back in.
PROJECT FIT
THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE RIGHT PROPERTY
Forestry mulching works best on dry, machine-accessible ground with brush, saplings, buckthorn, field edges, fence lines, trails, and light-to-medium overgrowth.
Some projects need different equipment. Wetland, swamp, shoreland clearing, stump pulling, grading, excavation, building pad prep, commercial logging, mature tree removal, and tight backyard work are not the right use of this machine.
PROCESS
SIMPLE PROCESS. CLEAR SCOPE.
Step 1
SEND THE PROPERTY DETAILS
Use the quote form to send the property location, photos, and a short description of what you want cleared. A map pin, parcel map, or quick video helps.
Step 2
WALK THE SITE
If the project looks like a potential fit, we walk the site to review access, ground conditions, vegetation, obstacles, and the finished result you want.
Step 3
GET A WRITTEN QUOTE
After the site walk, you receive a written quote with the scope clearly defined. Photos and the calculator can help with planning, but final pricing comes after the property is walked in person.
Pricing without the runaround
Know the rough range before we walk the property.
The Instant Calculator gives you a realistic planning range based on acreage, brush density, terrain, access, and travel. It is not a final quote — it helps you see whether the job is in the right ballpark before we schedule a site walk.
Need a rough planning number? Use the Instant Price Calculator.
Starting at
$1,200
- Select only the area you need cleared, not the whole property
- Adjust for brush density, terrain, access, and travel
- Use the range for planning, then schedule an in-person site walk
Larger, denser, rougher, or more remote jobs can price higher. Official written quotes are confirmed after an in-person site walk, access check, and confirmed scope.
PLAIN LANGUAGE
NOT SURE WHAT THIS KIND OF WORK IS CALLED?
Landowners describe this work a lot of different ways: clearing small trees, cutting back thorny brush, opening up woods, cleaning up underbrush, removing buckthorn, pushing back field edges, clearing vines, opening fence lines, or making land walkable again.
If the problem is brush, saplings, buckthorn, vines, or thick lower growth on dry, machine-accessible ground, forestry mulching may be the right tool. If the problem is large tree removal, stump pulling, excavation, grading, wetland clearing, or a tight backyard, it usually is not.
FAQ
FORESTRY MULCHING FAQ
What is forestry mulching?
Forestry mulching grinds brush, saplings, vines, buckthorn, and small trees into mulch where they stand. The material stays on site instead of being piled, burned, or hauled away.
What kinds of projects are best for this service?
The best projects are overgrown rural acreage, field edges, fence lines, buckthorn, wooded understory, dry trails, and rural property cleanup where the ground is firm enough for equipment.
Can you work around trees I want to keep?
Yes, in many projects the goal is to clear the lower brush and understory while keeping desirable mature trees in place.
Do you remove stumps or prepare building pads?
No. Forestry mulching can cut some small stumps close to grade, but it does not pull root systems, grade soil, install driveways, or prepare finished building pads.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the quote form and include the property location, photos, and a short description of what you want cleared. If the project looks like a fit, an in-person site walk is scheduled before a final written quote is provided.
What if I do not know whether I need forestry mulching, brush clearing, or land clearing?
Most landowners do not use the term forestry mulching. They usually say the woods are too thick, the field edge is growing in, the fence line disappeared, the property is full of saplings, or the brush is too heavy to cut by hand. If the work is dry, machine-accessible brush, saplings, buckthorn, vines, or lower understory, forestry mulching may be the right tool.
READY TO RECLAIM YOUR PROPERTY?
Send the property location, a few photos, and a short description of the area you want cleared. Truax Land Clearing will review the project and follow up if forestry mulching looks like the right approach.
