Forestry mulching that clears the brush and leaves the ground better than it found it
When the back acreage is buried under a wall of underbrush, saplings, and invasive growth, a mulching head clears it in a fraction of the time it'd take with a chainsaw and a burn pile. The machine grinds the brush and small trees right where they stand and leaves the chips behind as a mulch layer that protects the soil and holds back erosion. No giant piles to haul, no stumps to trip over — just usable ground you can finally walk, mow, or build on.
Brandon Bange, owner. I bid every mulching job myself.
Honeysuckle and locust don't stop on their own
Around Lincoln, Pike, and Warren counties, a fence row or tree line gets swallowed by honeysuckle, multiflora rose, and cedar in just a few seasons. What was open pasture or a clean property edge turns into a thicket the dog won't go in and you can't see through. Clearing it by hand is a season of weekends. Dozing it tears up the soil and leaves you a rutted mess to reclaim. Mulching splits the difference — fast, and easy on the ground.
How forestry mulching works
- Walk it and mark it. We agree on what comes down and what stays — the good hardwoods and the shade trees along the line aren't going anywhere unless you want them gone.
- Grind the underbrush and small trees in place. The mulching head chews through brush, saplings, and invasive growth and turns it into chips on the spot — no felling, dragging, and stacking.
- Leave a mulch layer behind. Those chips become a protective blanket over the soil that slows erosion, holds moisture, and breaks down to feed the ground instead of choking it.
- Open the ground back up. You're left with cleared, usable acreage and improved access — not a field of stumps and a brush mountain you've got to deal with later.
On thick growth, mulching reclaims more ground in a day than hand-clearing does in a month. Heavier jobs with big trees or stumps to pull may pair with my land clearing work — I'll tell you which fits when I bid it.

Real reviews from real neighbors are on the way.
I post them with a first name and a town as folks send them in — I don't run made-up quotes. Want to be the first? Book a bid and I'll earn it.
Want your acreage back?
Show me the line you want cleared. I'll walk it, tell you what mulches and what needs to come out by the root, and put a real number on it.
Frequently asked questions
Forestry Mulching questions I hear
What's the difference between forestry mulching and land clearing?
Mulching grinds brush and small trees in place and leaves the chips behind as a soil-protecting mulch layer — fast, clean, and easy on the ground, ideal for underbrush and invasive growth. Land clearing is the heavier job: pulling stumps and bigger trees by the root and hauling the debris off. A lot of properties want some of both, and I'll tell you which when I bid it.
Do you haul off the mulch or leave it?
Mulching leaves the ground chips in place on purpose — that mulch layer protects the soil, slows erosion, and breaks down over time. If you'd rather have it gathered or want certain areas cleaned to bare dirt, I can work that out with you. Most folks like the mulch left to do its job.
What can a mulcher actually clear?
Brush, saplings, invasive growth like honeysuckle and multiflora rose, cedar, and small trees up to a certain diameter depending on the head and the machine. Big mature hardwoods and stumps that need pulling are a land-clearing job — I'll flag those when I walk it.
How much does forestry mulching cost per acre?
It depends on how thick the growth is and how big the material runs. Light underbrush goes faster and cheaper than a solid wall of cedar and locust. I'll walk the ground and give you a straight per-acre or per-job number, and I'll be honest about how long it'll take.
How soon can you start?
I bid the week you call and the work's usually two-to-three weeks out, weather depending. Faster answer? Call (573) 754-2482 or text me a photo of the overgrowth.
