Forestry Mulching in Grand Rapids, MI

Benefits of Forestry Mulching

Some land-clearing jobs require excavators, diggers, or other heavy equipment. Although these machines do the job, they compress the underlying soil and require significant clean-up. With no haul-away and minimal waste, Forestry mulching delivers excellent results for outdoor projects in Michigan and takes a far less invasive approach to land clearing and rejuvenation. 

Put Valuable Nutrients Back Into the Soil

Many land clearing methods cut or uproot vegetation and then cart it away. Unfortunately, this removes all of the nutrients it contains from the area. Forestry mulching from Bigfoot Forestry leaves these nutrients right where they are. This rejuvenates the soil and ensures the success of new plants.

Prevent the Spread of Invasive Species

Cutting down vegetation and then hauling it off for disposal can result in the rapid spread of invasive species. Forestry mulching grinds unwanted vegetation up on site. The resulting mulch provides excellent soil cover for improved moisture retention, natural weed control, and year-round temperature regulation. 

Improve Your Property’s Value With Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching turns unusable land into level, walkable terrain. It eliminates trip-and-fall hazards and helps landowners fulfill their duty of care. It also beautifies spaces with overgrown and unkempt appearances. If you want to offload your lot or larger tract, you can prime it for listing photos, virtual tours, and other online marketing campaigns.

Increasing your property’s aesthetics with forestry mulching from Bigfoot Forestry will give you more power at the negotiating table. By taking this early and important step in land development on behalf of future owners, you can command a significantly higher asking price. 

Enhance Wildlife Habitats

At Bigfoot Forestry, we create beautiful, safe, and all-around sustainable spaces. We know invasive species cause progressive problems for native trees, plants, insects, and animals. Far more aggressive than many tree roots, weeds encroach upon the habitats of other living organisms, sap nutrients from soils, steal sunlight, and more. With no natural competition to push it back or prevent it from spreading, invasive vegetation can make your land inhospitable to the very creatures meant to inhabit it. With forestry mulching, we enhance wildlife habitats by restoring balance and allowing native species to flourish.

Reduce Fire Hazards

Forestry mulching is a great way to reduce the risk of dangerous and fast-spreading brush fires. Not only does mulching get rid of dry vegetation, but it also provides effective and free soil cover. The resulting mulch helps plant roots retain more moisture, even during dry seasons.

Get Effective Soil Erosion Control

Unlike excavation and stump grinding, forestry mulching leaves minor root systems intact. These smaller roots can hold more soil than taproots can and serve as excellent natural erosion prevention. The preservation of minor root systems additionally preserves the natural habitats of earthworms and other organisms for healthy ecosystems. 

With low ground pressure, our forestry mulching services cause limited soil compaction. Forestry mulchers aren’t as heavy as excavators, bulldozers, or other earth-moving equipment. This proves especially helpful in areas where property owners are mulching saplings and trees to protect underground utilities. You can avoid compaction-related problems like crushed or offset sewer pipes when you schedule forestry mulching with Bigfoot Forestry.
