Heavy plateau timber and steep ground taking over your Monterey property? We bring a machine built for it. We clear underbrush, saplings, and small trees in a single pass. No burn piles. No hauling. Just clean, usable ground.
Get My Free Site EstimateMonterey sits up on the Cumberland Plateau, and the ground here is a different animal than the valley around Cookeville. Higher elevation means heavier timber, denser woods, and steeper ground, the kind you find out toward the Bee Rock overlook. A rented skid steer will struggle with the slope and the thick saplings. That is exactly the kind of work the CAT 275XE was built for.
We mulch heavy brush, saplings, and small timber in a single pass and leave the ground clean and usable. Nothing to burn, nothing to haul. We are based in Cookeville, a short run down I-40, and we work the full county and the plateau along SR-62 and SR-84.
Need more than mulching? We also handle full land clearing, site preparation and grading, and septic installation in Putnam County. See everything we do in the area on our Putnam County page, or read more about our forestry mulching service.
Real job, real terrain, no stock footage. This is the HM418 mulching head working through cedar and brush in the Upper Cumberland.
“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…”

From Gravel Driveway Recovery. Same crew, same standards.Yes. We work all over Monterey and the surrounding plateau in Putnam County, from town lots to heavily wooded back acreage near Bee Rock. We are based in Cookeville, a short run down I-40, so response times stay short.
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 plateau timber and thick saplings can run 4 to 6 hours per acre. We give you a clear estimate after walking the property.
Yes. Monterey sits up on the Cumberland Plateau, so the woods are denser and the ground is steeper than down in the valley. The CAT 275XE with the HM418 head is built for exactly that, and it works slope and thick timber that small skid steers simply cannot.
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.
Based in Cookeville, a short run up I-40 to Monterey and serving the full county. Below is a map of the area we cover.
