3 Benefits of Forestry Mulching
There are many different methods property owners can choose from when it comes to the land clearing and site preparation process. Despite a wide variety of land clearing and site preparation options, at LandEx, forestry mulching is our favorite option as it boasts multidimensional benefits.
Forestry mulching is slowly but surely gaining popularity and beating out other dated methods. Read on for the top 3 forestry mulching benefits our clients enjoy.
But first, let’s get clear on what forestry mulching is.
Forestry mulching is the process of bringing in one single piece of machinery to do all of the land clearing and site preparation. All of the debris that has been cleared from the land is then turned into mulch that is reapplied to the property.
Top 3 Forestry Mulching Benefits
Forestry mulching is eco-friendly.
Forestry mulching employs the use of a single piece of machinery, which is far gentler on the land.
Traditional land clearing methods are applied in a broad sense, and often, things that don’t really need to be cleared away, are. Forestry mulching allows us to be much more selective with what is cleared from the land. Particular areas can then also be mulched at that location, which further helps preserve the landscape.
There is zero waste with this method. Yep -- zero! Mulching reuses landscape materials that would otherwise be seen as waste and put in a landfill.
Forestry mulching is cost-effective.
Forestry mulching creates more usable space on your property, immediately increasing your property’s value.
Forestry mulching is quick. Professionals can do 2-3 acres of land in a single day.
Cost of hauling and disposing of debris is eliminated entirely.
Forestry mulching helps avoid erosion that often occurs with traditional land clearing methods, as they often leave bare soil. Bare soil is easily washed or blown away resulting in poor drainage, which could not only damage the foliage on your property, but any structures on your property as well.
Forestry mulching reduces tick and invasive species populations.
The lack of forestry overgrowth equates to a noticeable reduction in the local tick population. With the recent increases in tick-borne illnesses, now is an excellent time to incorporate mulch on your property and lower the risk for you, your family, and your pets.
Spreading this fresh mulch acts as a nourishing, restorative layer to the earth and thus helps prevent the growth of invasive species, including poison oak.
Overall, forestry mulching is the smartest option for new home site preparation and new business site preparation. Reach out to our team of professionals today to get started!
