Forestry Mulching
We grind standing brush, saplings and small trees into mulch with a mulcher head on our tracked loader. The chips stay on the ground and hold the soil in place.

Augusta, WV · Free Estimates Most jobs start with the tracked loader and its mulcher head. It grinds standing brush, saplings and small trees into chips right where they stand. The chips stay on the ground as a layer that holds soil on a slope. That is forestry mulching, and it suits ridge ground and old pasture.
The mini excavator handles the other half of the work. A brush cutter attachment takes down heavy brush and small trees along banks and fence rows. With the bucket on, the same machine digs stumps out, cuts trenches and shapes ground. That covers excavation and the digging that comes with a clearing job.
Each machine rides to the job on our own equipment trailer. When a job needs both, both come out, so the ground gets cleared and shaped as one job. The finish grade gets done before the last machine loads up.

A tracked loader with a mulcher head clears standing growth, and a mini excavator does the digging. Tracks spread the weight on soft ground and hold better on slopes than wheels.

We cover Hampshire, Mineral, Hardy, Grant, Morgan and Berkeley counties in West Virginia. East of the line we reach Winchester and Front Royal, roughly 50 miles from Augusta.
