Forestry Mulching

Forestry Mulching​ in Virginia

Forestry mulching is a form of land clearing that utilizes a single machine to carefully cut, grind, and clear out vegetation from a designated area or property. Work with a professional tree work crew, such as Timber Works Tree Care, to provide efficient forestry mulching services that ensures your landscape remains in great health. 

Forestry Mulching provides a low impact, cost-effective solution for clearing overgrown, unusable land. Mulching eliminates trees, brush, and invasives, and leaves a flat base of mulch biomass that will breakdown and enhance soil quality. The mulch also acts as a control against erosion after the project is finished. Forestry Mulching is an excellent alternative if conventional land clearing methods are not an option due to budget, location, or permitting status since mulching typically falls under maintenance and not soil distribution.

At Timber Works Tree Care, our certified arborists are dedicated to making sure your trees and property are kept in great condition. We offer safe, efficient, and affordable tree work services that align to your needs. Get in touch with a reliable Timber Works Tree Care staff member to determine if forestry mulching is right for your property.

Forestry Mulching Projects Before and After​

How Forestry Mulching Services Can Benefit You

• The fresh layer of mulch prevents weeds from becoming invasive.
• Keeps the soil stable from erosion.
• Cost-efficient since it refrains from damaging keeper trees’ roots.
• You won’t have to haul or burn any debris.
• Significant results that improve the health of your property.

Costs of Timber Works’ Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching is a one-machine, one-operator method. Thus, it comes with lower equipment and operating costs than using a bulldozer, loader, and hauler.

Forestry mulchers also boast greater efficiency than the aforementioned machines. They can process trees and vegetation where they stand and access steep slopes and tight areas. This eliminates several time-consuming steps involved in traditional land clearing, such as site prep, cutting, hauling, and clean-up.

Timber Works charges $3,000 per day for forestry mulching, during which we usually cover about an acre of land. However, this cost varies depending on the terrain’s condition. Rocky terrain or terrain with trees greater than 8-inches in diameter can cost a bit more than flat, smooth terrain.
