We grind brush, saplings and scrub cedar into mulch right where they stand, so overgrown ground opens up in a single pass with nothing to haul off or burn.
Free, no-obligation estimates. We answer the phone or call back the same working day.
Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into mulch where they stand, in a single pass, with nothing to haul away.
"Forestry mulching" is a way to clear brush without bulldozing it or burning it. Instead of cutting the scrub, dragging it into piles and trucking it off, a mulching machine chews it down on the spot. The chips land on the same ground they grew from, so the soil is left covered rather than scraped bare.
It is the quick way to take back ground that has gone to scrub: cedar creeping along a fence, brush closing in a path, saplings filling the back of a lot. The trees you want to keep stay standing, and we work around them.
A forestry mulcher is a tracked machine with a rotating drum of steel teeth on the front: it shreds standing brush and saplings and spreads the mulch over the ground as it goes.
The spinning drum is lowered onto the brush, and its teeth shred it from the top down, stems, branches and all, until it is ground off near the soil.
Tracks spread the machine's weight over more ground than wheels do, which matters on pasture and wooded ground that is soft after rain.
What is left is a layer of shredded wood where the brush stood. It holds the soil, breaks down over time and leaves no brush pile behind.
Mulching suits overgrown fence lines, trails, pasture edges and wooded lots being opened up, and the mulch it leaves keeps the soil covered against erosion.
Jobs forestry mulching suits:
Because the ground stays covered, mulching is a good fit for Raymore slopes and ditch banks where bare soil would wash away.
Large trees, stumps that have to come out and ground that will be built on call for land clearing instead of mulching.
A mulcher grinds brush and small trees down to the ground, but the roots stay in the soil and big trunks are more than it is made for. If Raymore land is headed for a house pad, a driveway or a lawn, it needs clearing.

Every piece of ground is priced on its own, so we walk it before we quote. The price comes from how much brush there is and how hard it is to get to.
The estimate is free, and the whole job is quoted before we start, with no surprise charges after.
From your call to covered ground, a mulching job runs the same way every time.
Mulching works the same on residential acreage and on commercial land, and the commercial work we take on is the same list of services on our home page. A brushy strip behind a building or an overgrown edge along a lot is mulched the way a pasture fence line is.
