Mulching
- Capable of mulching windrows and site
debris. No need for tub grinders or burn pits.
- No Damage to wanted large growth trees,
very little disturbance to grasses and topsoil.
- Cuts off brush and stumps even with
the ground, leaving root systems to compost naturally.
- Mulches all removed vegetation, leaving
no brush piles to burned or hauled away
|
|
Bulldozing & Burning
- Bulky, heavy and not usable on small
properties or close spaces.
- Cuts deeply through topsoil and can
leave ruts and holes, destroys grass and roots.
- Tears stumps, rocks and roots from
the ground, creating sink holes that have to be leveled
or filled.
- Unsightly brush
piles are left behind and must be hauled away or burned

Should
You Clear with Mulchers or Traditional Bulldozing? |
Mulching
clears overgrown vegetation and restores property without the
inherent dangers of burning or the expense of hauling to rid
property of refuse. It increases property value through soil
enrichment, water conservation and erosion control and can restore
habitat and pasture without destruction to grasses, topsoil
and desirable plant species. Since mulchers cut saplings and
brush off at ground level, there are no stumps to burn or pull
out.
Burning piles of brush get extremely hot and leave a scar at
the site of the pile and in the surrounding area. They become
so hot in fact, that they burn several inches below topsoil
level, sterilizing the ground and killing everything in it.
Topsoil contains vital nutrients, living microbes, oxygen and
nitrogen that plants need to survive. Seeds germinating just
beneath the soil are also destroyed during a burn. Scars from
burn piles can cause soil sterilization and damage that can
last for up to three years. The flames, heat and smoke from
brush piles damage not only the immediate area but can also
destroy damage and weaken nearby trees that are still standing.
Many areas prohibit burning altogether due to the inherent dangers
it presents and the amount of damage it causes to environmental
balance. |

Our machines have very low ground pressure so as not to create
ruts and unsightly tracks within the property. Mulching adds
much needed moisture content and leaves the property with a
“park like” effect. As we “cover as we go”,
there is no need to worry about runoff as the mulch covers the
area, leaving little to no exposed dirt for an unsightly appearance
or erosion. |
