Land clearing is the main work here: wooded tracts, overgrown pasture, hunting land and building lots around Monticello. The same machines dig ponds, cut ditches, build gravel roads and haul off what comes down. Every job starts with a free estimate on the property.

Forestry Mulching

Brush and small trees ground into mulch where they stand

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.

Skid steer mulching head for open runs and lighter understory
Excavator mulching head for reach, soft ground and tight tree spacing
Underbrush, palmetto, gallberry, wax myrtle, privet and briars ground in place
Small trees and saplings mulched down where they stand
Selective work that leaves the pines and hardwoods you want kept
Trails, shooting lanes and view corridors cut through wooded tracts

Excavator Mulching

Reach down the bank from ground that holds the machine

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.
