Why Choose Forestry Mulching Over Traditional Land Clearing?

Forestry mulching offers several advantages over conventional land clearing methods like bulldozing or burning. Unlike traditional approaches that leave behind piles of debris or disturb the soil, forestry mulching grinds vegetation back into the ground, creating a natural layer of mulch that:

    • Improves soil health and moisture retention
    • Reduces erosion and runoff
    • Eliminates the need for hauling and disposal
    • Maintains root structures to minimize land disturbance
    • Provides immediate visual improvement with minimal cleanup

This method is ideal for eco-conscious landowners and developers who want a cleaner, more efficient solution for reclaiming land.

At JB’s Landscaping, we work with homeowners, farmers, developers, and property managers across towns like Hackettstown, Sparta, Long Valley, Newton, and Chester to reclaim overgrown land and prepare sites for future use.

Questions About Forestry Mulching?

Forestry mulching is a land clearing method that uses a single machine to cut, grind, and mulch trees, brush, and overgrowth right on-site. The result is a layer of mulch that remains on the ground, helping to suppress weeds, reduce erosion, and enrich the soil.

We perform forestry mulching for residential, commercial, agricultural, and recreational properties throughout Morris, Sussex, and Warren Counties. It's ideal for large backyards, hunting land, farm fields, wooded lots, and properties in towns like Hackettstown, Sparta, and Long Valley.

Unlike bulldozing or burning, forestry mulching doesn't require multiple machines, doesn't leave behind large brush piles, and doesn't disturb the topsoil. It’s cleaner, faster, and more environmentally friendly—especially in sensitive areas of Northwest New Jersey.

Yes! Forestry mulching is highly effective at clearing out invasive plants like multiflora rose, barberry, and autumn olive that are common in rural areas of New Jersey. It helps reclaim land while minimizing regrowth.

In most cases, forestry mulching does not require a permit, especially for smaller residential or agricultural jobs. However, if you're working near wetlands, protected areas, or plan on developing the land, we always recommend checking with your local township or municipal office.

Pricing depends on the size of the area, the density of the vegetation, and access to the site. We provide competitive rates and free estimates throughout our service area—including Allamuchy, Chester, Newton, Succasunna, and beyond.

The mulch is left on-site to decompose naturally. It helps retain moisture in the soil, prevent erosion, and improve soil health. It also leaves the cleared area looking tidy and walkable.

I have had JB's complete 2 projects at my house, one a firepit with patio and the other was a retaining wall along my driveway. Very happy with both projects and the quality of work. I would definitely recommend JB's for any type of hardscape projects.

We have been customers since 2012! Every year we start off the season with a Spring Clean up in our gardens and lawn followed by a lawn fertilization. Then our weekly lawn cuttings go from mid April to late October early November. The maintenance team does a thorough job leaving our lawn looking neat and nicely manicured. The office staff is attentive and makes sure to satisfy our special requests. Kudos to JB’s, you will look forward to seeing their truck pull up to your property every week! LO (Blairstown)
