Forestry Mulching in Toccoa, GA

Forestry Mulching · Toccoa, GA

Brush and small trees ground into mulch where they stand

Forestry mulching is our specialty at Wall Land Solutions. A mulching head grinds overgrown brush and small trees into mulch right where they stand. The mulch stays on the ground as a cover layer. It is the main tool behind our land clearing in Toccoa and across Northeast Georgia.

Landowners and realtors call us to open up overgrown lots and acreage. Farmers call us to win back fields and woodlots. We are based in Toccoa and work about 60 miles around it. Call or text (678) 776-8002 for a free estimate.

  • A mulching head on our track loader for lots and open acreage
  • A mulching head on our mini excavator for steep banks and ditch lines
  • Privet and briar thickets mulched down to the ground
  • Saplings and small trees ground into mulch where they stand
  • Kudzu cut down and mulched off old fields and banks
  • The trees you mark left standing

What a forestry mulcher does on lots and acreage

A forestry mulcher is a heavy spinning head that mounts on a machine. It grinds privet and briar thickets into mulch, along with the saplings and small trees in them. What is left is a mulch layer on the ground. The trees you chose to keep stay standing.

We run two of them. One rides on our track loader, a skid steer on tracks, for lots and open acreage. The other sits on the end of our mini excavator's arm. It reaches steep banks and ditch lines where the loader cannot go.

Mulching suits long, narrow ground as well, like roadsides and old rail beds. Our forestry mulching work includes a rails-to-trails clearing near Tallulah Falls. When the big trees stay and only the undergrowth goes, the job is underbrushing.

Why do lots and fields in the Northeast Georgia foothills grow up so thick?

Left alone, an old field grows back in stages. A Forest Service summary of old farm fields in Georgia's Piedmont lays out the pattern. Grass comes first, and then blackberry briars and shrubs thicken. Loblolly and shortleaf pines grow up through them, and hardwoods replace the pines as the woods age.

Privet adds to the tangle. The Georgia Forestry Commission says privet is common across all of Georgia. It forms dense thickets in fields and under the woods. It spreads by sprouts and by seeds that birds and other animals carry.

Kudzu takes the open edges. The same guide names roads, rights-of-way, forest edges and old fields as its favorite ground. In prime conditions, a vine can grow more than a foot a day. Our kudzu removal work knocks it down with the same mulching heads.

Forestry mulching versus burn piles and haul-off

Clearing with a dozer usually means pushing brush and trees into piles. Those piles then get burned or hauled away. Forestry mulching grinds the same growth where it stands and leaves the mulch on the ground.

In Georgia, a land clearing burn needs a permit from the Georgia Forestry Commission. Georgia EPD also bans burning yard and land clearing debris from May 1 through September 30 in 54 counties. Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin and Banks counties are on that list. Your county Forestry Commission office answers questions about a burn on your land.

Mulching turns the brush into ground cover, so the work can go ahead during the summer ban. Planning a house? Our site preparation work mulches the house spot and the drive and keeps the mature trees you want.

The Clearing

The track loader and the mini excavator go to work with their mulcher heads. Brush, briars, vines and small trees are ground down where they stand.

5

Mulch Left in Place

The mulch stays on the ground as a cover over the soil. You are left with open land you can see across and use.

FAQ

Forestry Mulching Questions, Answered

Common questions about forestry mulching around Toccoa and the Northeast Georgia foothills. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (678) 776-8002

How much does forestry mulching cost?
The price depends on your land. Thick growth, bigger trees, steep ground and tight access all add time. The size of the area matters, and so does the number of trees you want kept. Call or text (678) 776-8002 for a free estimate, and we put the quote in writing.
Is forestry mulching the same as bush hogging?
No. Bush hogging cuts tall grass and weeds in fields and pastures with a heavy brush cutter. Forestry mulching grinds thicker growth into mulch, saplings and small trees included. When a field has grown up in young trees, mulching is the tool for it.
Can you keep the trees I want to save?
Yes. Mark the trees you want to keep, and we mulch the brush and saplings around them. On a home site, that means the mature trees you like stay where they are.
What happens to the mulch after the job?
It stays on your land, spread over the ground where the brush stood. Over time it breaks down into the soil. The job ends with a mulch layer instead of a burn pile or a load to haul away.
Do you take out stumps and big trees?
Those go to other trades. A tree service fells and removes large mature trees, and a stump grinding company grinds stumps. Our mini excavator can pull small stumps and roots when a job needs it.
Will the brush grow back after forestry mulching?
Some of it will. Privet sends up new sprouts, the Georgia Forestry Commission says, and kudzu comes back after a cutting. The regrowth comes up in open ground, where it is easy to keep after with another pass.
