Forestry Mulching in Wisconsin
We get more done in a day than Two laborers could do in a week.
We grind brush, buckthorn, honeysuckle, and small trees into mulch right where they stand — no burning, no hauling, no torn-up ground. One machine, one operator, one clean pass.
Serving Sheboygan, Plymouth, Kohler, Cedarburg, Mequon, Port Washington, West Bend, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Green Bay, and the greater Milwaukee metro.
What We Clear
Buckthorn & Honeysuckle
Wisconsin’s two most invasive woody shrubs. Our CTL Mulcher does more work in an hour than two people can do by hand in a day.
Overgrown Wooded Lots
Are there parts of your property you can’t walk through? We open them up — selectively or wall-to-wall — turning impenetrable brush into enjoyable land.
Brushy Fence Lines & Edges
Pasture borders, woodland edges, and overgrown property lines cleared cleanly so you can re-fence, mow, or seed.
Small Trees Up to 8”
Our tracked mulcher takes down trees up to 8-inches and turns them into mulch. Stumps are ground down to dirt level.
Hunting Land Improvement
Shooting lanes, bedding areas, food plots, and trail systems shaped for whitetail and turkey. We hunt too — we know what works. Deer are lazy - take advantage of that and bring them to your stand locations.
Storm-Damaged Woods
Tangled blowdown processed in place. The mulched debris becomes a moisture-holding ground cover that stops erosion and feeds the soil.
How It Works — And Why It’s Better Than Bulldozing

We walk your property with you, talk through what you want gone and what you want to keep, and quote a fair acre rate.
One-Pass Mulching
The tracked mulcher chews vegetation down to a 2–4 inch mulch layer. Trees, stumps, brush, and roots all get processed on the spot.
Walk-Away Clean
No burn piles. No dump trips. No stump grinding bills. The mulch protects the soil and breaks down into nutrients over the next year.
Compared to bulldozing ($3,000–$6,000+ per acre), forestry mulching usually runs $1,500–$2,500 per acre on residential land, farm land, or recreational land — and leaves your topsoil intact instead of stripping it.

Before & After
From impenetrable to walkable in a single day — no burn piles, no torn-up topsoil, no piles of debris to haul away.
What Does It Cost?
Honest ranges based on real Wisconsin jobs. We always quote per-property after a free site visit, but here’s what to expect:
Light Brush, Flat Ground
Scattered brush, small saplings, easy access. Pasture re-take, fence-line clearing.
Average Wooded Lot
Mixed brush, buckthorn, honeysuckle, some trees up to 6”. The most common job we run.
Dense Hardwoods or Steep Terrain
Thick mature stands, hilly ground, limited access. Quoted after walking the property.
We provide a contract price prior to starting work. We don't track hours - we only leave when the job is complete to your satisfaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does forestry mulching cost in Wisconsin?
Most residential jobs in Sheboygan County and Southeast Wisconsin run $1,500–$2,500 per acre depending on density. Steep ground or extremely thick stands can run $3,500+ per acre. Small jobs under an acre typically $500 to $1,000. We quote every property after a free on-site walk — no surprises.
What’s the difference between forestry mulching and bulldozing?
Bulldozing scrapes the topsoil along with the vegetation, leaves bare erosion-prone ground, and costs roughly 2–3x more. Forestry mulching grinds vegetation in place, leaves a protective mulch layer that breaks down into nutrients, and preserves your soil. For most Wisconsin landowners, mulching is the better choice unless you’re prepping for new construction.
When is the best time of year to mulch?
Year-round in Wisconsin. Frozen winter ground is actually ideal — the tracked mulcher leaves less impact, and brush is easier to spot when leaves are down. Most Land Owners realize they need mulching in springtime - when they start walking their property again after a long and cold winter. Regardless of the time of year, we'll get the work done!
Will buckthorn or honeysuckle grow back after mulching?
Both are aggressive re-sprouters. Most Land Owners hire us to do the heavy lifting in the first year with the Forestry Mulcher - we turn large invasive plants and trees into mulch the first year. That opens things up so the Land Owner can follow up the next season to take down re-sprouts with a regular lawn mower or weed-wacker.
Do I have to be home during the work?
No. As long as we’ve walked the property together and marked anything you want left standing (specimen trees, hunting blinds, irrigation lines, etc.), we can run the job whether you’re there or not. We send before-and-after photos when we wrap up.
