FORESTRY MULCHING FAQ'S
​​​
Do you charge by the Acre for Forestry Mulching?
​
We charge by the machine hour because some acres take less than 2 hours and others can take up to 10 hours, depending on the terrain, and the volume, type and size of the trees being mulched, etc... Once we're able to walk and assess your property and discuss what your goals are, we'll be able to provide a very close estimate of the hours needed to complete the project.​​
A machine hour means that you pay only for time the machine is actually mulching, and is measured by the machine's meter, to the nearest one tenth of an hour.
(3 HOUR MINIMUM CHARGE)​

​
Do you offer payment plans, I don't want to exceed my budget?
We are committed to helping you stay within your budget. Our approach involves creating a plan that prioritizes your key objectives, keeping you updated on progress regularly, and reassessing as necessary to avoid any unexpected billing surprises. Under certain conditions, we are sometimes willing to negotiate a payment plan option.

​
Is Forestry Mulching environmentally friendly?
Forestry mulching is by far the most environmentally friendly means of clearing land for several reasons. Unlike traditional methods which involve burning, or multiple pieces of heavy equipment requiring dump trucks to haul material away, Forestry Mulching uses one machine, which grinds the material into a fine mulch that protects against erosion and naturally releases nutrients back into the soil over time. ​​​
​
What should I do to prepare my property before you begin?
We recommend removing any vehicles, personal items, debris, or obstacles from the work area. If there are specific areas you want to preserve, please let us know in advance.
​​​
​Do you require a deposit?​
​
After you receive a Quote and decide to move forward, we do require a 250 dollar deposit prior to scheduling. Should you need to cancel for any reason, the deposit IS FULLY REFUNDABLE, as long as the cancellation is made at least 7 days prior to the project's scheduled start date. Quote's remain valid for 90 days.
