Forestry Mulching
We mulch brush, underbrush and small trees in place with a skid steer mulching head and an excavator mulching head. The wood stays on the ground as mulch, so the tract opens up without burn piles or hauling.

Hunting land clearing opens ground you already own. We mulch the brush and small trees that are in the way. A deer food plot site, a shooting lane or a trail comes back open. The work is done with a skid steer mulching head and an excavator mulching head.
Most of that work is forestry mulching on farm and plantation ground around Monticello. Where a plot site will be disked, we clear it with the excavator and pull the stumps. Along creek banks and pond edges we run the mulching head off the excavator boom. We open the ground and leave it ready for you or your plot manager to plant.

A deer food plot starts as a piece of woods or a grown-in old opening. We mulch the brush and small trees down and open the ground back up. Where the plot will be disked and planted, the excavator takes the stumps and roots out. That leaves dirt a tractor can work.
Where the plot goes matters as much as the plot itself. UF/IFAS points to edges, old roads, log decks and openings between stands. Dry sandy spots can hold gopher tortoise burrows, and FWC protects both the tortoise and the burrow. We keep the machine 25 feet clear of any burrow on the site.
Prep starts in late summer for a fall plot. UF/IFAS gives October 1 to November 15 as the cool season planting window for northwest Florida. Cogongrass is worth finding before the machine runs, since UF/IFAS says its rhizomes spread on vehicles and equipment. Patches you mark get left alone or saved for last.
A shooting lane is a cut line of sight from a stand or a tower. We mulch the brush and saplings out of the lane and leave the chips on the ground. Width and length are yours to call. We can run a narrow lane through thick woods or open a wider one along a field edge.
A hunting trail has to carry a truck, an ATV or a hunting wagon without tearing up. We mulch the run, take out the saplings and leave a firm line through the woods. Where the ground stays soft, a built road works better. That is a gravel road back to the camp.
Lanes near water are where the excavator earns its keep. The boom reaches out over a slough or a creek bank while the machine sits on ground that holds. Around here that means the low ends of a tract, pond edges and ditch banks that have grown shut.
Monticello sits on the east side of the Red Hills. Tall Timbers Research Station puts that region at 436,000 acres between Tallahassee and Thomasville, Georgia. Tall Timbers calls it the largest concentration of undeveloped plantation land in the country. Much of the ground we work sits under planted or natural pine.
Under pines the usual ask is the hardwood midstory and the brush. Tall Timbers says reducing hardwoods matters for quail. Hardwoods shade out the ground cover and make fire less effective. We take the sweetgum, water oak, privet and brush you mark, and leave the pines and mast oaks.
Fire lanes get cut the same way. We mulch a lane back open so it can hold a line. The burn belongs to you or your burn manager, under a Florida Forest Service authorization. The Florida Forest Service administers Florida's outdoor burning laws.

Call or text (850) 815-0054 with where the property is and what you want done. A rough idea of the acreage helps.
We drive out and look at the ground, the growth and the access for the machines. That visit is the free estimate.
The land decides between mulching in place and a full clear with the debris hauled off. Thick understory usually mulches. Ground going under a building usually gets a full clear with the stumps out.
We haul the excavator and the skid steer in on our own trailers. Clearing, mulching, stump work and load-out run in whatever order the job calls for.
Debris is mulched in place or loaded into the dump truck and hauled off. We leave the ground open and usable, and you look it over before the machines leave.

We run a mulching head on the excavator boom to clear ditch banks, creek banks and pond edges. The machine works from firm ground above, so the soft ground below stays put.

We clear brush, vines and saplings off farm and pasture fence rows so the fence can be seen and worked on. The excavator reaches in from the side and keeps the machine off your wire.

We build and rebuild gravel driveways, farm roads and access roads on rural property. We clear the route, shape a crowned base, cut ditches and lay gravel or limerock.
Learn MoreWe run a mulching head on the skid steer and on the excavator. The skid steer covers open ground fast. The excavator reaches out over banks and wet spots that will not carry a machine.
Clearing, stump work, ditches and hauling all come from one company. You deal with one phone number from the first cut to the last load off the property.
We work about 40 miles out from town. That reaches Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Leon and Wakulla counties, plus Thomas, Grady and Brooks counties across the Georgia line. Most of it is farm, timber and plantation land.
We come out, look at the land and tell you how we would run the job. The estimate is free and it comes from your actual ground.
