The short version

Forestry mulching uses a machine with a heavy rotating head that grinds vegetation into mulch right where it stands. Instead of cutting, piling, hauling, or burning, the debris is shredded and left on the ground.

What it works well for

  • Brush, vines, and small trees
  • Overgrown fields and fence lines
  • Trails, driveways, and access paths
  • Clearing before building or fencing

What to know before you hire

  • It cuts vegetation at or near the ground, and usually does not remove stumps or regrade the land.
  • The size of tree it can handle depends on the machine, so ask the operator.
  • Pricing depends on acreage, density of growth, terrain, and access.
  • The mulch left behind covers the soil, which can help limit erosion while new growth settles in.
