What you’re probably dealing with

  • Old pasture and farmland that has gone back to brush and cedar over the years
  • A small-town lot or rural parcel that is too overgrown to mow or use
  • You want it cleared but you do not want burn piles, smoke, or hauling debris off-site
  • You want to keep the big hardwoods and clear only what is in the way
  • The last guy showed up with a rented skid steer that could not handle the cedar

How we solve it

  • CAT 275-05XE with the HM418 mulching head, 38 carbide teeth, built for cedar and steep ground
  • Single-pass clearing of underbrush and trees up to about 8 inches

  • Selective clearing, so the trees you want stay standing
  • Billed at $250/hr portal-to-portal so you know exactly what you are paying for
  • Free on-site walk-through before any work starts

Forestry mulching across Baxter and Putnam County

Baxter sits just west of Cookeville along the Falling Water River, and it is a mix of small-town lots and good farmland. The most common job we see out here is pasture reclamation, where ground that used to be open hay or grazing land has slowly filled in with brush and cedar. Taking that back by hand is a brutal job. That is exactly the kind of work the CAT 275XE was built for.

We mulch brush, cedar, and saplings in a single pass and leave the ground clean and usable. Nothing to burn, nothing to haul. We are based right down I-40 in Cookeville, so response times stay short, and we work the full county along I-40 and SR-56.

“We previously had Gravel Driveway Recovery come out and resurface our driveway. We were so impressed that we contacted Richard again and had them come back out and do Forestry Mulching to give us easier access to the creek and meadow around…”

Common Questions

Forestry mulching in Baxter, answered

Do you do forestry mulching in Baxter, TN?

Yes. Baxter sits just west of Cookeville along the Falling Water River, a short run down I-40, so we are only minutes away. We clear small-town lots and farmland all through Baxter and Putnam County.

How much does forestry mulching cost in Putnam County?

We bill at $250 per hour portal-to-portal with the CAT 275XE and HM418 mulcher. Light brush runs about 1 to 2 hours per acre. Heavy cedar or thick saplings can run 4 to 6 hours per acre. We give you a clear estimate after walking the property.

Can you reclaim overgrown pasture and farmland around Baxter?

Yes. Pasture reclamation is some of our most common work around Baxter. The CAT 275XE with the HM418 head mulches the brush and cedar that has crept into old pasture and farmland and turns it back into usable ground in a single pass.

Will I have to haul off or burn the debris?

No. Forestry mulching grinds the brush and small trees in place and leaves a mulch layer on the ground. No burn piles, no smoke, no hauling, and the mulch protects the soil and slows regrowth.
