Forestry Mulching
We grind overgrown brush and small trees into mulch with mulching heads on two machines. The mulch stays on the ground, and the trees you mark stay standing.

Kudzu climbs trees and smothers the ground under it. Kudzu removal starts with getting those vines down. Our track loader runs a forestry mulcher head that cuts kudzu to the ground. It grinds the vines and the brush under them into mulch.
Privet and other invasive growth in the patch go down with the kudzu. The ground opens back up, so the regrowth is easy to spot and keep after. This work is part of the land clearing services we offer across Northeast Georgia, about 60 miles around Toccoa. Call or text (678) 776-8002 for a free estimate.

Kudzu is a vine from Asia. It was a featured plant at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. UGA Cooperative Extension says farmers in the early 1900s were urged, and paid, to plant it. They grew it for cattle feed and to hold eroding soil.
By 1946, farmers and the Civilian Conservation Corps had planted about 3 million acres across the South. The USDA dropped kudzu from its list of approved cover crops in 1953. In 1970 it named kudzu a weed.
Kudzu ranked third on the Georgia Forestry Commission's first Dirty Dozen list of invasive plants. UGA Cooperative Extension reports it held nearly 27,000 acres of Georgia land then. By 2011 it covered more than 42,000 acres. The vines can grow up to a foot a day, and they can root where they touch the ground.
Our kudzu control is forestry mulching aimed at the vines. The mulcher takes down the vine mat and the brush tangled in it. All of it turns to mulch that stays on the ground where the patch grew.
The track loader works the open ground. On steep banks and ditch lines, our mini excavator runs a mulching head of its own. With the mat gone, you can see the shape of your land again.
A kudzu patch can hide privet and briars underneath, and those go into the mulch too. Where privet has choked the woods next to a patch, underbrushing clears the undergrowth while the big trees stay. When kudzu swallows a fence row, fence line clearing opens it so a fence can be built or fixed.
Kudzu grows back from its roots. UGA Cooperative Extension says established kudzu can have roots up to nine feet deep. The vines come up from a crown on top of the root, and one cut does not kill it.
After a cut, new shoots push up from the crowns across the patch. On open ground you can see those green runners and get at them. Left alone, they creep out and can root again where they touch the soil. The extension service advises cutting new growth back each time it appears, over several seasons.
Mulching knocks kudzu down and keeps it beaten back, but it does not kill the roots. UGA Cooperative Extension says clearing established kudzu is slow work that may take years. A landowner who wants it gone for good needs repeated cutting and a treatment plan from another provider.

Call or text (678) 776-8002 and tell us where the land is. Say what has grown up on it and what you want done.
We set a time to come out and see how thick the growth is and how the machines get in. Georgia 811 does not mark private lines, so show us any line to a barn or a well.
