What you’re probably dealing with

  • Cedar thickets and brush have taken over ground you used to be able to walk or hunt
  • River-bottom and bluff property near the Cumberland or Cordell Hull that is too overgrown to 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 or the slope

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
  • Mulch left in place suppresses regrowth and returns nutrients to the soil
  • 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 Gainesboro and Jackson County

Jackson County has some of the prettiest ground in the Upper Cumberland and some of the most overgrown. Between the Cumberland River bottoms, the bluffs around Cordell Hull Lake, and the cedar that takes over any pasture left alone for a few seasons, a lot of property here is harder to clear than it looks. 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 work the full county, including Gainesboro, Granville, Whitleyville, Dodson Branch, and Flynns Lick.

“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 Gainesboro, answered

Do you do forestry mulching in Gainesboro, TN?

Yes. We work throughout Gainesboro and all of Jackson County, from the Cumberland River bottoms to the bluff properties around Cordell Hull Lake. We are based in Cookeville, minutes away, so response times are short.

How much does forestry mulching cost in Jackson 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 clear cedar thickets and steep ground around Gainesboro?

Yes. Jackson County has a lot of cedar and a lot of slope. The CAT 275XE with the HM418 head handles cedar thickets and works ground that rental skid steers cannot. We clear what you want gone and leave the hardwoods you want to keep.

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.
