Is forestry mulching better than traditional clearing?
Forestry mulching is better for the soil because the mulch prevents erosion and adds nutrients. It is also faster and often cheaper. However, heavy timber may require traditional clearing. Gibbs Grading will recommend the best approach.
What size trees can forestry mulching handle?
Our commercial forestry mulching equipment handles trees up to about 8 inches in diameter. Larger trees may need to be cut first. Gibbs Grading assesses your property during the free estimate to determine the best method.
Does forestry mulching prevent erosion?
Yes. The mulch layer left on the ground protects the soil from rain and wind erosion. This is a major benefit for properties in hilly areas of Polk County, Bartow County, and NW Georgia.
Can I build on land after forestry mulching?
Yes. After forestry mulching, the land can be graded and prepared for construction. The mulch layer decomposes over time. For building sites, Gibbs Grading can grade the mulched area to your specifications.
Does forestry mulching require a burn permit?
No. Forestry mulching does not involve burning. The vegetation is ground into mulch on site. No smoke, no fire risk, no permits needed. This makes it a great option for properties near homes in Cedartown, Rockmart, and Rome.
How long does forestry mulching take?
Most single-acre projects can be mulched in one day. Larger properties or very dense vegetation may take longer. Gibbs Grading will give you a timeline during your free on-site estimate.
