Forestry mulching / Hydro ax mulching

​Hydro Ax Mulching is the process of using a Hydro Ax to chop trees or mow down brush and turn it into mulch. A Hydro Ax is like a giant shredder attached to a tractor. It is a very powerful tool that is so precise that it will not damage the area surrounding what you are working on.

Advantages of Hydro Ax Mulching:

• What would normally take weeks or months, we can do land clearing in minutes
• Innovative, efficient, environmentally safe.
• Have immediate use of your property to continue projects
• Eliminates erosion and run-off problems associated with conventional land clearing methods
• Does not damage feeder roots of desired trees
• No permits usually required
• Eliminates cost of hauling and disposing of debris
• Eliminates unsightly burn piles
• Mulch helps retain water and builds up top soil
• Creates park-like effect, leaving a highly desirable, nutrient-rich mulch

Disadvantages of a Bulldozer:

• Causes soil rutting, erosion, and run-off pollution
• Destroys top soil, causing increased recovery time
• More costly land clearing method, takes more time, and debris must be burned or hauled off at extra expense
• Bulky, heavy, and not usable on small properties or close spaces
• Slow process
• Requires erosion permits, silt fences, etc.
• Completely removes top layer of soil
• Scars from burn piles can cause soil sterilization and damage that can last for years
• NO selective clearing─ bulldozing will damage nearby root systems of “keeper trees”
