What is Forestry Mulching?
Forestry mulching is a modern land clearing method that uses specialized machinery to cut, grind, and spread vegetation in a single pass. Unlike traditional clearing that removes and hauls away vegetation, forestry mulching processes trees, brush, and undergrowth into fine mulch that’s left on-site as beneficial ground cover.
Our professional forestry mulchers cut through vegetation including trees up to 300mm diameter, simultaneously grinding material into uniform wood chips, and distributing mulch evenly across the cleared area. This preserves valuable topsoil structure while preventing erosion – something bulldozers and traditional methods cannot achieve.

Our Forestry Mulching Services
Bush Block and Paddock Clearing
Transform overgrown bush blocks and paddocks into usable, maintained property. We clear dense vegetation, invasive species, and woody weeds while preserving soil health. Perfect for reclaiming neglected properties, preparing land for development, improving pasture for livestock, and reducing bushfire fuel loads.
Firebreak Creation and Bushfire Protection
Create effective firebreaks quickly with forestry mulching. Our equipment clears wide strips of vegetation for strategic fire barriers, reduces fuel loads across your property, meets Rural Fire Service requirements, and establishes Asset Protection Zones around structures – all while processing vegetation into low-fuel mulch rather than leaving combustible debris.
Roadside and Easement Clearing
We provide mulching for infrastructure maintenance including roadside vegetation management, powerline easement clearing, pipeline and utility corridors, and rail corridor vegetation control for councils, utilities, and government authorities.
Acreage Maintenance and Land Management
For large properties requiring ongoing maintenance, our forestry mulchers process woody material that slashers can’t handle, control regrowth and invasive species, maintain large acreage efficiently, and provide selective clearing while preserving desired trees.
Why Choose Forestry Mulching Over Traditional Methods?
Forestry Mulching vs. Bulldozer Clearing
Traditional bulldozers destroy topsoil structure, create expensive debris piles requiring disposal, cause significant erosion risk, and need multiple equipment types. Forestry mulching preserves topsoil integrity, leaves nutrient-rich mulch on-site, provides immediate ground cover preventing erosion, and completes work faster with a single machine.
Forestry Mulching vs. Burning
Burning requires permits and ideal weather conditions, creates smoke and air pollution, poses fire escape risks, destroys soil nutrients, and faces seasonal restrictions. Forestry mulching works year-round regardless of fire bans, produces no smoke or fire risk, enriches soil with organic matter, and is safer for property and surrounding areas.

High-powered machines for heavy-duty applications including larger diameter trees, extremely dense vegetation, and high-production clearing.
Excavator-Mounted Mulchers
Provide versatility for steep slopes, precise selective clearing, and reaching areas standard mulchers cannot access
Skid Steer Mulchers
Compact units for residential properties, confined spaces, and smaller projects requiring tight access
Forestry Mulching Pricing
Costs vary based on property size, vegetation density, terrain difficulty, and access. We offer flexible pricing structures:
Hourly Rates: $200-$400+ per hour depending on equipment and complexity Per Hectare Pricing: $2,000-$8,000+ per hectare based on vegetation density
Day Rates: $1,500-$3,500+ per day for dedicated equipment Project Quotes: Fixed price after detailed assessment
Typical productivity: Light undergrowth (1-2 hectares/day), moderate scrub (0.5-1 hectare/day), dense vegetation (0.3-0.7 hectares/day). For example, mulching 5 acres of moderate scrub typically takes 2-4 days.
Small residential projects start around $1,500-$3,000, while large acreage projects range from $10,000-$50,000+ depending on scope.
