the economic and ecological advantages of mulching technology

Forestry Mulching

Smart and Sustainable

Forestry Mulching is the new and sustainable way to clear away unwanted brush, small trees and efficiently convert undesirable trees, brush and stumps into an appealing mulch material that provides excellent ground cover and erosion control.

With this methodology, the landowner is left with a fresh carpet of mulch, naturally decomposing into rich topsoil.

Before the mulch has broken down through the decaying process, it will basically block most invasive species from being able to grow back as quickly which will allow native plants more of a chance to get a foothold in the area and will give the homeowner more of a fighting chance at keeping the underbrush cleared out.

Most importantly, mulching is faster and cheaper than traditional land clearing methods like “slash and burn” as it is a single-step process saving haul-off fees and at the same time there are no huge bulldozer piles left at the back of the landowner’s property!

As the mulch biodegrades it will feed the soil and eventually turns into a lush and healthy layer to nourish grass as well as the healthy trees which are left intact helping with erosion control at the same time.

Forestry Mulching

A single-step process
Seldom requires permitting
Preserves and builds topsoil layer
Low ground pressure
Creates natural erosion control
Workable in wet and snowy weather
No burning, chipping or hauling
No windrows or brush piles
Recycles biomass
Extremely selective
Visually appealing
Sustainable
Less expensive landclearing

Cerating a nice layer of mulch

By putting the mulch back where you have removed the vegetation, you provide a natural barrier that will assist in preventing the regrowth of invasive species and promotes the growth of the natural vegetation.

When using a mulcher as a form of land clearing, you reduce the need to come back and fix up the land.

vs.

Conventional Clearing

Multi-step process
Generally requires permitting and site plan
Damages and dislocates topsoil layer
High ground pressure (compaction)
Requires additional erosion control (silt fencing and catch basins)
Highly weather dependent
Often necessitates burning and/or chipping and hauling
Leaves windrows and brush piles
Discards biomass
Damages nearby trees and vegetation
Unsightly scarred appearance
Unsustainable
More expensive

Grubbing and dozing

In the end, you will have a massive pile of material that will either need to be hauled away or burned. This additional step can be somewhat time-consuming and costly.
