Forestry Mulching
The drum mulcher on our skid steer grinds brush, saplings and small trees into mulch right where they stand. You are left with open ground under a layer of mulch.

Brush clearing is the work of getting overgrowth off ground you already use. The fence line disappears into vines. Brush closes in around the shop, and a thicket takes the back corner of the yard. We clear it with a skid steer running a drum mulcher, a brush cutter and a grapple.
Most of what grows back in Northeast Arkansas can be ground up where it stands. What is too big or too woody gets grappled into a pile and hauled out on the dump trailer. When a whole wooded acreage needs opening up, that is clearing overgrown land rather than a brush job. We work out of Monette and cover about 50 miles around Jonesboro.

Brush clearing usually starts where you are trying to use the ground. That is the strip along a fence, the edge of a yard, or the ground around a shop. Ditch banks and creek banks go the same way. Vines and saplings take it first because nothing mows it.
We cut brush down with the mulcher or the brush cutter, then clean up with the grapple. Small growth is ground up and left as mulch. Limbs and trunks too big for that get loaded on the dump trailer. If the trouble is tall grass and weeds instead of woody brush, bush hogging handles it faster.
You choose how far it goes. Some want the brush down and the ground left mulched. Others want the trunks and limbs gone off the place.
Privet and Japanese honeysuckle both sit on the University of Arkansas Extension list of invasive plants in Arkansas. They take the ground under trees and along fence rows. Greenbrier is the other one people fight, and Extension calls it common in fields, fencerows and woodlands.
Blackberry, eastern red cedar and sweetgum sprouts turn up on most places we look at. Extension guides list all of them as Arkansas problems, in pastures and in yards. Out here in the Delta the ditch banks and field edges fill in first. On Crowley's Ridge it is the woods edge creeping into the yard.
Knowing the plant matters for what comes next. An Extension guide on woody plants says cut stumps and roots send up new sprouts. Clearing the brush gives you the ground back. Keeping it back means another pass later, or a spray program from another contractor.
Underbrush clearing is the same work under trees you want to keep. The mulcher takes brush, vines and small growth off the floor of the woods. The trees stay. People do it to open up a home site, a trail or hunting ground.
After a brush job the ground is covered in mulch where we ground the growth up. Where limbs and trunks came out, you get bare dirt and some ruts. If you want that smoothed out, dirt work and grading is a separate pass with the skid steer.
The line between brush clearing and our other work is about how much ground and what is standing on it. A whole wooded acreage that needs the drum mulcher run across it is forestry mulching. Fence rows and pasture gone to cedar on a farm is pasture and fence line clearing. Downed limbs and trees after a storm are a different job again.

Brush and small trees are ground up where they stand and left as a mulch layer over the dirt. That covers the ground and saves hauling. What is too big for the mulcher goes out on the dump trailer.
