BENEFITS OF FORESTRY MULCHING
Forestry mulching is a superior method of land clearing. The process offers a wide range of advantages to both the customer and the environment.
Bell Forestry Mulching owns the industry’s leading forestry machinery that instantly shreds dense overgrowth, shrubs, bushes and un-wanted trees in place. This method of land clearing results in composting the ground-up vegetation into the soil. Mulching amends the topsoil promoting re-fertilization, and the resulting material acts as a natural erosion control.
Mulching also eliminates the need for expensive hauling away of debris and burn piles that have a negative impact on air quality for our island.
Our method is very cost-effective and environmentally friendly in comparison to traditional land clearing practices.
Forestry Mulching-The Process
At Bell Forestry Mulching, we typically mobilize to each project with an excavator and dedicated forestry mulching equipment.
The excavator removes unwanted trees in whole including the stumps, gently grades out the high and low spots of the area and removes the vegetation and brush by the roots. We can be very selective in the process. The mature, desirable trees and plants are left untouched.
As the final step we mulch the vegetation into the top layer of soil, leaving a fine layer of mulch on the ground.
The result is what we refer to as a “park like appearance”, adding beauty, functionality, and value to your land.
Steep Hillside Clearing
Bell Forestry Mulching uses a Excavator equipped with Forestry attachments to clear sides of driveways, difficult slopes/hillsides, ditches and other hard to reach areas.
Our machinery gives us the maneuverability to climb hillsides where other machines simply cannot go.
The flail attachment is an environmentally friendly alternative to “ripping and pulling” vegetation by the roots.
It’s useful in areas where keeping plant root systems in place is desirable or even critical, and the process of “ripping and pulling” would damage the integrity of the surrounding landscape.
Our system is also capable of removing the top vegetation from brush and trees eliminating the need for intense and expensive hand labor.
Harvesting Marketable Timber
As part of our clients land management program, there may be trees on the parcel that are worth money that need to be removed for a variety of reasons. Bell Forestry Mulching partners with Logging companies that can sell your trees to a local sawmill. The cash return is based on factors such as size, quantity, and quality of the timber.
