What is Forestry Mulching?
Forestry mulching uses specialized equipment with rotating drum mulchers to grind trees, brush, and vegetation into mulch in a single pass. Unlike traditional clearing methods that require cutting, piling, and hauling debris, forestry mulching processes everything on-site.
The resulting mulch layer protects soil from erosion, retains moisture, and decomposes naturally to enrich the soil. This makes forestry mulching the preferred choice for environmentally conscious property owners searching for "brush clearing services near me."

Forestry Mulching vs. Burning: The Smarter Choice
When property owners clear brush, bush, or timber, the most common question is how to dispose of the debris. Many turn to brush burning, bush burning, or building a burn pile to eliminate slash. While burning can work, it comes with significant drawbacks — especially in Central Oregon's high-fire-risk environment.
Open burning in Oregon requires a valid burn permit issued through the Oregon Department of Forestry. Burn permits are only valid on designated burning days — determined daily based on fire weather conditions. During dry summer months and periods of high fire danger, burning bans can suspend all open burning for weeks at a time, leaving accumulated slash piles and burn piles sitting unresolved and posing ongoing fire risk on your property.
Even on permitted safe burning days, brush burning and bush burning require constant supervision, a cleared buffer around the pile, suppression tools on hand, and full extinguishment before the site can be left unattended. An escaped burn pile fire can result in significant liability and property damage.
Forestry mulching eliminates all of these complications. Our equipment processes burn piles, slash piles, and cleared vegetation on the spot — no burn permit, no burning days, no fire risk, and no debris to haul. The result is a clean, mulched property that's immediately safe and ready for its next use.

Testimonial
What our clients say about us
Our clients trust us to manage their projects with care, precision, and integrity.
"We hired Byrd Land Co. to update our family ranch so that we could have more area to entertain, ride horses, and hunt. Scott started out by surveying the area with a drone, then we sat down and selected areas to clear for access roads and paths. He removed a ton of brush and helped us reduce the risk of wildfire spreading throughout our property, making it more safe and fun to enjoy on our horses and UTV's."
