Forestry Mulcher Hire in Stroud

Forestry mulchers use mechanical methods of cutting and grinding in order to clear any required vegetation, shrubs and trees, whilst causing minimal damage to the surrounding areas of greenery. In addition to being used for construction purposes, our mulching machines can be used for wildlife management, including proactive, reactive and clean-up mulching.

Why Choose Us?

Forestry mulching is used as a way of clearing land to create potential space for development, and we provide reliable Bobcat forestry mulchers that are both durable and versatile. Using our forestry mulchers as an alternative to bulldozers and excavators can be beneficial to your site as you don’t require a permit to use them. Our forestry mulchers have little effect on the ground and surrounding areas, making it a much cleaner, environmentally friendly method of clearing vegetation rather than bulldozing. Our forestry mulchers have twice the amount of hydraulic power than just a mulching attachment, so are a more efficient way of clearing the necessary land. Our equipment is beneficial to your site as you don’t have to burn any trees or remove any debris, as the mulcher takes care of everything for you. In addition, choosing forestry mulcher hire as a land clearing solution will increase the value of your land as there is no corrosion and minimal damage to the groundworks.

What Is Forestry Mulching?

Forestry mulching is the removal of plants, trees and underbrush from an area of land in order to create an open space, without having to cut, fell or haul, leaving the soil and ground in good condition compared to other methods like burning. By cutting and grinding the vegetation in the required area, the result of forestry mulching is small chips of vegetation which you can easily remove with your machine, and some of the mulch can be used to line the ground with to improve its quality. Forestry mulching is commonly used in forests and parks, and is appropriate for land that often gets flooded and is often damp. In order to cause the least possible damage to the quality of ground, you should choose a lightweight, tracked forestry mulcher as there is less pressure exerted on the soil during operation.

Environmentally Friendly

By using forestry mulchers as an alternative to burning and bulldozing, you are not only operating safer and more accurately, but you are also more environmentally friendly. Leaving stumps of trees and vegetation at just above ground level, you are not destroying the soil underneath, or any surrounding trees or shrubbery that you may want to keep. As mulching is much more efficient, you are operating your machinery for a shorter period of time, meaning less pollution to the environment. The material left on the ground after mulching is a fresh layer of biomass that easily decomposes and provides a good layer for any development on top.

Mulching Head

In addition to providing the hire of mulching machines, we can also provide a mulching head attachment for if you already own a skidsteer. Hiring just the attachment can be a more cost-effective solution as it is cheaper than hiring a whole machine if you only require a small amount of vegetation and forestry removing. It works by grinding down the trees starting at the bottom and working up to the top, and the blades are in a spiral shape allowing for efficient and accurate demolition. Our mulching head attachment can break down all of the vegetation into small pieces of debris that can be used as a biodegradable carpet on top of the soil to improve the quality of the land.
