Forestry mulching is our specialty and one of the best ways to clear your property while enhancing the land. This technique can clear your land quickly while improving the quality of the soil and adding value to your property.
What is Forestry Mulching?
Forestry Mulching is a technique that utilizes a specific piece of equipment to cut and chip trees and other vegetation to clear land and create mulch from this cut organic material.

Benefits of Forestry Mulching
Saves Time
Forestry mulching is completed with a single piece of equipment in a single step process, which means using forestry mulching to clear your land takes less time. At Louisiana Land Management, we use the industry’s best equipment which is able to handle higher volumes and save even more time on your project.
Natural Erosion Control
Forestry mulching and bush hogging do not remove the roots of the vegetation on your land, this means the root systems are left in place acting as a natural control to help prevent erosion.
Preserves Your Trees
With forestry mulching, you don’t need to completely clear all vegetation, instead, you can be selective with the trees you’d like to keep. Clearing away underbrush and invasive vegetation gives trees the space they need to thrive. Preserving the mature trees on your land can also increase your property value.
Naturally Increases Soil Condition
As the natural material in the mulch decays the nutrients from this organic material are returned to the ground acting as a more natural fertilizer delivering remaining plants and trees with added nutrients to boost plant growth and soil health.
Increases Your Property Value
Removing the underbrush creates a more aesthetically pleasing space and creates more usable land. This additional useable area can increase the resale value of your property.
Fire Prevention
Clearing and creating a fire break around your property with forestry mulching and bush hogging aids in fire prevention and protection of your property.
Improves Safety
Removing the underbrush provides a safer environment for the removal of any trees in the area and improves visibility to avoid injury from any fallen or damaged trees or tree limbs.
Brings In More Sunlight
Additional sunlight reaching the ground provides better conditions for growing grasses.
Removes Invasive Species
As the natural material in the mulch decays the nutrients from this organic material are returned to the ground acting as a more natural fertilizer delivering remaining plants and trees with added nutrients to boost plant growth and soil health.

Forestry Mulching & Bush Hogging FAQs
-
Unlike land clearing, forestry mulching does not disturb or remove the roots or the vegetation you are removing, this serves to maintain natural soil erosion control. At the same time forestry mulching leaves a top layer of the cut-up material on top of the soil in the mulched area. This means you are left with a nutrient-dense top layer in the area that has been mulched versus land that has been completely cleared of all organic matter above and below the surface of the soil.
In addition, when using land clearing all trees in the area along with the stump and roots systems are typically removed. Forestry mulching is a more specific process in which you can select the trees you’d like to save in order to maintain property value and aesthetics, removing just the unwanted undergrowth.
