Forestry Mulching In Missouri And Its Role In Land Clearing

Forestry mulching in Missouri is a method of clearing land that leaves behind a fine layer of mulch which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This method is perfect for clearing brush and trees that are too large for brush hogging. 

Land Clearing Options

When you need vegetation cleared, you have three options: a chainsaw and tractor; a bulldozer, loader, and hauler; or a forestry mulcher. 

Cutting by hand and hauling out the waste has the lowest equipment cost, but is extremely inefficient compared to other methods and often not even feasible for a large area. 

Utilizing a bulldozer, loader, and hauler is at the other end of the spectrum – highly efficient in terms of time, but with the highest cost not only for equipment but for the labor of multiple operators. Bulldozing also adds the additional expense of filling holes, leveling the ground, burning brush piles, and/or paying to have the waste hauled away.

Forestry mulching in Missouri uses a single machine with a rotary drum (mulching head) equipped with steel chipper teeth to cut, grind, and shred vegetation where it stands. This keeps costs low while also cutting out much of the time-consuming labor or site prep, cutting, haul-off, and clean-up.

More Benefits Of Forestry Mulching In Missouri

Forestry mulching in Missouri is also the best choice for environmentally friendly land clearing. Using a single machine reduces fuel usage and emissions and limits disturbance to soil and wanted vegetation. Forestry mulching is better for the immediate environment because the biomass provides erosion protection that helps retain moisture and put nutrients back into the soil. 

A forestry mulcher can work in densely forested areas that cannot accommodate larger machinery as well as operate in inclement weather and on softer surfaces.  The areas mulched can be immediately re-seeded or planted.

Forestry mulching in Missouri allows you to clearly identify property lines or survey lines. It also helps with fire management of your property, reducing the potential chances for spreading wildfire. Most importantly, it can open your land up to many new uses for your family to enjoy.
