Brush Clearing
We open up pasture and yards that brush and young trees have taken over. A forestry mulching head grinds the brush, and the excavator pulls bigger stems by the roots.

Forestry mulching clears brush and small trees right where they grow. A forestry mulching head on our skid loader cuts each stem low and grinds it up. The mulch stays on the ground and covers the soil. Nickell's Land Management does this work as part of land clearing in Parker and across eastern Kansas.
Mulching suits pasture and acreage that brush and cedars have taken over. The soil stays in place under the mulch, and the grass gets its sunlight back. We work for homeowners with acreage and for farms with pasture to open up. Call or text (620) 252-9314, and we will look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Forestry mulching fits land that will stay in grass or stay wooded. That means pasture lost to brush, or acreage you want opened up under the bigger trees. The mulching head takes out what you want gone and works around the trees you keep.
Ground headed for a house pad or a pond needs the roots out. That calls for lot clearing with the excavator, which pulls the stumps, roots and all. A thicket that will stay pasture but needs its roots pulled falls under our brush clearing work.
Tree size matters too. The U.S. Forest Service notes that bigger trees take a bigger cutting head and more power. Trees too big for the mulching head come down with the excavator and get piled on site.
The mulching head cuts each stem and shreds it as the skid loader rolls over it. What is left is a layer of shredded wood on top of the soil. The roots stay in the ground beneath it.
That layer protects the soil. K-State Research and Extension says mulch on the soil surface holds in moisture and cuts erosion from heavy rain. The skid loader drives on its own mulch, and the Forest Service says that keeps erosion and compaction down.
The Forest Service notes that shredded wood breaks down back into the soil over time. It also notes that mulched wood can smolder a long time once lit, so plan pasture burns around it.
Eastern red cedar is the only evergreen tree native to Kansas, and it keeps spreading into pasture. Left alone, cedars and brush shade out the grass and take its water.
K-State Research and Extension says a normal pasture fire controls cedars under three to four feet tall. Past four feet, cutting may be the only way to control them. A forestry mulching head cuts cedars off near the ground and grinds them up.
Cedars also come up along fence rows, where birds perch on the wire. When the whole row has to come out for a new fence, see fence line clearing.
