WHAT IS FORESTRY MULCHING?

Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush, and vegetation into nutrient-rich mulch in a single pass. Unlike traditional land clearing with bulldozers that require burning debris or hauling it away, our forestry mulching process leaves behind a protective mulch layer that enriches your soil, prevents erosion, and discourages regrowth.

Our Green Climber LV600 remote-controlled forestry mulcher handles the toughest terrain in Northern Kentucky—including steep slopes, tight access areas, and dense overgrowth that other equipment can't reach. Whether you're preparing land for construction, restoring pastures, clearing fence lines, or eliminating invasive species like Eastern Red Cedar and Bush Honeysuckle, Land Grinders delivers efficient, eco-friendly results.

Based in Union, Kentucky, we serve residential and commercial customers throughout Boone County, Kenton County, Campbell County, and the Greater Cincinnati area with same-day response and professional service.

Why Remote-Controlled Equipment Matters

Traditional land clearing puts operators at risk on steep terrain, near roadways, and in unstable conditions. The Green Climber's remote operation keeps our crew safe while tackling slopes and hazards that would be dangerous or impossible for walk-behind equipment or bulldozers. This means we can clear land other companies refuse—safely and efficiently.

Using the Green Climber LV600, we systematically clear vegetation, grinding it into mulch as we go. No burning, no hauling, no debris piles—just clean, efficient clearing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Forestry mulching costs depend on your property's brush density, terrain, and acreage. Light brush on flat land costs less than dense vegetation on steep slopes. Land Grinders provides free on-site estimates to give you an accurate quote. Most residential projects in Boone County range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on size and complexity. Contact us at (859) 455-6165 for your free assessment.

  • Forestry mulching grinds trees, brush, and vegetation into fine mulch using a specialized machine, leaving a protective layer that prevents erosion and regrowth. Brush hogging is better for cutting tall grass and light brush on level, open fields. For steep terrain, dense overgrowth, or areas with trees and saplings, forestry mulching is the superior choice.

  • The mulch layer we leave behind suppresses regrowth by blocking sunlight and preventing seeds from germinating. However, aggressive invasive species like Bush Honeysuckle may attempt to return from deep root systems. We can apply follow-up treatments or schedule periodic maintenance to keep your property clear long-term. Most customers find that light maintenance once or twice a year keeps cleared areas under control.

  • Yes. Our Green Climber LV600 is specifically designed for slopes up to 60 degrees—steeper than most other land clearing companies can handle. The expandable tracks and low center of gravity provide stability and safety on terrain that would be dangerous for traditional equipment. If you have steep hillsides, embankments, or creek banks that need clearing, we can handle it.

  • Project timelines vary based on acreage and vegetation density. A typical 1-acre residential lot with moderate brush takes 1-2 days. Larger properties with heavy overgrowth may take 3-5 days. Commercial projects are scheduled based on scope. Our efficient equipment and experienced crew complete most jobs faster than traditional land clearing methods.
