Quick Answer
- What is forestry mulching?
- Forestry mulching is a one-step land-clearing method that uses a forestry mulcher to grind brush, saplings, small trees, and invasive vegetation into mulch that stays on the ground as protective cover.
- What does forestry mulching cost?
- In Central Indiana, forestry mulching typically runs about $500–$1,500+ per acre for lighter vegetation, with dense or heavily wooded acreage costing more. Half-day and full-day rates are also available.
- What types of vegetation can be cleared?
- Light and heavy brush, saplings, small-to-medium trees, fence rows, vines, and invasive species such as honeysuckle, autumn olive, and multiflora rose.
- How long does a forestry mulching project take?
- Light, open acreage can be cleared in part of a day; dense, heavily wooded acreage takes one or more days. We give a realistic time estimate after a free on-site walkthrough.

What Is Fence Row Clearing?
Fence row clearing is the removal of the brush, vines, briars, saplings, and trees that build up along fence lines over time. On farms and rural acreage, fence rows become overgrown thickets that damage fencing, harbor pests, shade pasture, and make property lines impossible to maintain.
We clear fence rows mechanically with a forestry mulcher on a compact track loader and skid steer, grinding growth into mulch on-site and pulling stumps where the fence is being replaced. We work carefully up to fencing you want to keep and clear fully where old fence is coming out.
A cleared fence row is easier to fence, easier to mow, and adds usable width back to fields and yards.
