Forestry mulching is a single-machine land clearing method that grinds standing trees, brush, and stumps into a layer of wood chip mulch left on the ground. Most vegetation is processed in a single pass with no hauling or burning needed. Larger trees that exceed the mulcher’s capacity are felled first and removed separately before the mulcher finishes the rest.

Our Most Requested Service
What is forestry mulching?
Forestry mulching uses a machine with a spinning drum and carbide teeth to grind standing trees, brush, and stumps into wood chips right where they stand. The chips stay on the ground as a natural layer that breaks down over a season or two.
We serve properties across central Wisconsin from our base in Oxford. Our mulcher handles trees up to about 6-8 inches in diameter. Bigger trees get cut first, then we process the stumps and leftover brush. Most residential lots clear in one to three days.
We handle everything from small building sites to large wooded acreage across 8 counties in central Wisconsin.
Compare Methods
Forestry mulching vs. traditional clearing
Traditional land clearing usually means a crew with chainsaws, a bulldozer or excavator, a chipper, and a truck to haul everything away. That takes more equipment, more time, and more money. Forestry mulching does the same job with one machine.
Traditional clearing also strips topsoil and leaves bare dirt that erodes in the first rain. Mulching leaves the soil structure intact with a protective chip layer on top. The result is less erosion, less compaction, and land that recovers faster.
That said, traditional clearing is the better option when you have large timber worth harvesting or need deep root removal for foundations. We can advise on which approach fits your project during the free estimate.
