The Modern Approach

Why Choose Forestry Mulching?

Traditional bulldozing strips the topsoil and leaves massive burn piles. Our Forestry Mulching technique is different. We use specialized drum mulchers to grind brush and trees exactly where they stand. This leaves a protective layer of mulch that prevents erosion, retains moisture, and returns nutrients to your soil.

No Burn Piles. No Haul Away.

Because the material is shredded into a fine mulch, you don't need burn permits or expensive dump trucks. The land is immediately walkable and ready for use.

When Do You Need Clearing?

Fire Prevention

Removing underbrush and "ladder fuels" (especially Cedar) creates defensible space around your home.

New Construction

Preparing a lot for a foundation, driveway, or septic system requires total removal of obstructions.

Pasture Restoration

Reclaiming grazing land from invasive Mesquite and Huisache allows native grasses to return.

Fence Lines

Clearing a 10ft path along property boundaries makes installing or repairing fences affordable and easy.

Our Methods

Specialized Clearing Services

Selective Clearing

We surgically remove invasive species (Cedar, Hackberry) while protecting desirable hardwoods like Oaks and Elms. Your property keeps its shade and value.

Forestry Mulching

Our skid steers grind vegetation down to the soil level. The resulting mulch suppresses weeds and prevents soil erosion during rainstorms.

Right of Way

Clearing paths for utility lines, hunting leases, or walking trails. We open up access to the furthest corners of your acreage.

The Clearing Workflow

Survey

We walk the land with you to mark trees to save ("Keepers") and define property boundaries.

Mechanical

Our heavy machinery handles the bulk of the work, grinding trees up to 8" diameter in seconds.

3

Handwork

Chainsaw crews follow behind to trim stumps flush to the ground and clean up tight areas.

4

Finish

We spread the mulch evenly for a park-like finish. No ruts, no piles, just clean land.

Clearing FAQs

Do I need a permit to clear my land?

It depends. If you are removing "Protected Trees" (19"+ diameter) inside City limits, yes. However, clearing underbrush and Cedar (Ashe Juniper) typically does not require a permit. We help you verify local ordinances before starting.

Can you clear land during bird nesting season?

In areas with endangered Golden-cheeked Warblers (March-August), strict rules apply. We perform habitat surveys and can schedule work outside of nesting windows to ensure environmental compliance.

What happens to the mulch?

The mulch is left on-site to decompose. This acts as a natural fertilizer and erosion barrier. It creates a walkable surface immediately and disappears into the soil within 12-18 months.
