Land Services Northwest

Was great working with Excalibur. Their crew was awesome, always asking if they were doing the job to my satisfaction. They came out and cleaned up 10 acres of overgrown property that you could barely walk through. Their mulching machinery is very impressive and highly effective. I plan to have them do more work for me in the future.

Land Clearing vs. Forestry Mulching

Land clearing refers to the broader process of removing vegetation, trees, and other obstacles from a piece of land. It typically involves the complete removal of vegetation, including trees, shrubs, undergrowth, and any other vegetation that may hinder development or land use. Land clearing can be done through various methods, such as manual labor, mechanized equipment like bulldozers or excavators, or even controlled burns. The goal of land clearing is to prepare the land for a specific purpose, such as construction, agriculture, or landscaping.

Forestry mulching is a specific technique used within the land clearing process. It involves using specialized mulching equipment, such as a forestry mulcher or mulching attachment, to shred trees, brush, and vegetation into mulch. The mulcher grinds the vegetation into small wood chips or mulch, which is spread evenly across the cleared area. Forestry mulching provides several benefits, including efficient vegetation removal, reduced waste, improved soil health, and erosion control. It is often chosen for its cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and the ability to leave behind a natural ground cover.

Excalibur's Bryan Warman and crew planned and constructed a new outdoor entry area and side yard walkway at our Queen Anne home, including concrete debris removal, regrading, adding a retaining wall and crushed stone base, and bringing in expert cement masons to pour a new entry and sidewalk -- all while protecting an extensive irrigation and electrical lighting system. Completed project is attractive, safer and much more functional.

What methods are used to clear land?

In Washington State, land clearing methods can vary depending on factors such as the size of the area, the type of vegetation, and the intended land use. A few of the more common methods are listed below. At Excalibur, we specialize in mechanical land clearing and forestry mulching.

Mechanical Clearing: Mechanical clearing involves the use of heavy machinery such as bulldozers, excavators, and mulching equipment to clear vegetation and trees. This method is efficient for larger areas and can quickly remove trees, brush, and other vegetation.

Forestry Mulching: Forestry mulching is a method that utilizes specialized equipment, such as a mulcher or a forestry mulching machine, to grind vegetation into mulch. It is an efficient method for clearing smaller trees, brush, and undergrowth, while leaving the mulched material on-site as a natural ground cover.

Manual Clearing: Manual clearing involves the use of hand tools such as chainsaws, axes, and brush cutters to remove vegetation and trees. This method is suitable for smaller areas or when selective clearing is required, such as removing specific trees or plants while preserving others.

Is stump removal included with land clearing

Depending on how you intend to use of your cleared you may or may not want to include stump removal in your plan. We have several options when it comes to stump removal and we have the equipment necessary to remove as many or as few of stumps from your property as needed once your land has be cleared.

When we perform a site visit to your property, we will take the time to discuss each of these option with you in detail.

After land clearing, stumps from the removed trees can be removed through various methods. The choice of stump removal technique depends on factors such as the size of the stumps, the number of stumps, accessibility, cost considerations, and the desired end use of the cleared land.

Here are some common ways to remove stumps:

Stump Grinding: Stump grinding is a popular method for removing tree stumps. It involves using a stump grinder, which is a specialized machine with a rotating cutting wheel or disc. The grinder chips away the stump and grinds it into small wood chips or mulch. The remaining mulch can be used as ground cover or can be removed from the site.

Excavation: Excavating the stumps involves using heavy machinery like excavators or backhoes to dig around the stump and uproot it. This method is typically used for larger stumps or when the entire root system needs to be removed. Excavation can be a labor-intensive process and may require the use of additional equipment to lift and transport the stumps.

Manual Extraction: For smaller stumps or stumps with shallow root systems, manual extraction can be an option. This method involves using tools like an axe, shovel, or pry bar to dig around the stump and physically pull it out. It can be a labor-intensive process, and the success of manual extraction depends on the size and condition of the stump.

Natural Decay: Stumps will naturally decay over time through microbial activity and decomposition. This process can take several years, and the rate of decay depends on factors such as stump size, tree species, and environmental conditions. Natural decay is a passive approach and is typically suitable for situations where the stumps do not interfere with land use or pose safety concerns.

What is the difference between land clearing and forestry mulching?

Land clearing and forestry mulching are related but distinct processes used for vegetation management and land preparation. Here are the key differences between the two:

Purpose: Land clearing is a general term that encompasses the process of removing vegetation, trees, and other obstacles from a piece of land to prepare it for a specific purpose. This could include activities like site development for construction, agriculture, or infrastructure projects. The goal of land clearing is to completely clear the land of vegetation and debris. On the other hand, forestry mulching specifically refers to a land clearing method that uses a specialized machine called a forestry mulcher. The primary purpose of forestry mulching is to grind trees, brush, and vegetation into mulch while leaving it on-site. This mulch acts as a natural ground cover, reducing erosion, improving soil health, and minimizing the need for additional hauling or disposal of the cleared material.

Equipment: Land clearing can involve various equipment depending on the scale and requirements of the project. It may include manual tools like chainsaws, axes, and brush cutters, as well as heavy machinery like bulldozers, excavators, and loaders. The equipment used in land clearing is diverse and may vary based on the specific needs of the project. Forestry mulching, on the other hand, specifically employs a forestry mulching machine or mulcher. This specialized equipment is designed to grind trees, vegetation, and brush into fine mulch, which is spread over the cleared area. The mulcher typically consists of a rotating drum with sharp cutting teeth that shred and pulverize the vegetation.

Approach: Land clearing can involve different approaches depending on the desired outcome and project requirements. It can range from selective clearing, where specific vegetation or trees are removed while preserving others, to complete clearing, where all vegetation is removed from the land. Forestry mulching, as a method of land clearing, tends to be more focused on selective clearing. The mulcher can effectively remove smaller trees, brush, and undergrowth while leaving larger trees intact, if desired. The mulching process creates a layer of mulch that helps control erosion, retain moisture, and enhance soil fertility.
