Forestry mulching is one machine doing the whole job in one pass. The drum head takes the stem, the stump, and the root collar and grinds all of it in place. Material in the 15-inch class goes down and stays down. What's left is a mulch blanket that suppresses regrowth, holds the soil through Gulf South rain, and feeds organic matter back into the ground. No burn pile, no haul-off, no follow-up debris contract. Straight talk: if the ground is already under control, a bush hog is the right tool. Maintenance wants a bush hog. Mulching is for recovery, ground the brush has already taken back. Pasture reclamation, fence lines, shooting lanes and food plots on hunting leases, pathways cut so a realtor can actually show the property.
~2 acres/day or more in light vegetation. ~1 acre/day or more in heavy vegetation. Pace depends on terrain and access.
Sweet spot: 10–200 acres. Bigger works too: multi-day and multi-week windows are normal at that scale. Smaller works as well, as long as access supports the lowboy.
Tracked carriers around 3 psi ground pressure run on soils where dozers sink. Bottomland hardwood, pine flatwoods, cutover, swamp edges, riverbank: all in scope.
Big iron.
Production-grade.

- 01
Site Walk
We walk the property with you, on the ground or by drone. Acreage, terrain, access, wet spots, utility crossings, trees you want kept, and the finish you actually want. The quote comes from the walk, not a satellite guess.
- 02
Mobilization
Equipment lowboys in. 811 locates called and cleared before any ground-engaging work: Louisiana 811, Texas 811, or Mississippi 811, depending on where the job sits. SWPPP and erosion control set on industrial sites. COI, named-additional-insured, and waiver-of-subrogation endorsements issued on request.
- 03
Execution
The iron does the work: our forestry mulcher, excavators, and dozers as the job calls for. Daily check-ins. Drone progress shots on jobs over 5 acres. Daily SWPPP inspection on industrial sites.
- 04
Walk-Off
Demobilize, restore the staging areas, final walk with you or your rep. Drone before/after package on jobs over 5 acres. Invoice when you sign off, not before.
