Forestry mulching grinds brush, saplings and small trees into mulch right where they stand. The mulching head does the work, and everything it grinds stays on the ground as cover. Presto Contractors is based in Waynesboro in Wayne County. Our forestry mulching services reach about 70 miles out, across southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama.
The roots stay in the soil, and there is nothing to haul. That suits hunting land and ground you are holding for later. A house lot needs the stumps and roots grubbed out, which is part of site preparation for the pad. Bigger timber comes down with the tree shear, as part of our land clearing work.

Across the Piney Woods, pine stands fill in underneath with sweetgum and privet. The US Forest Service notes that sweetgum often moves into old fields and logged ground. Brush mulching takes out that growth and leaves the pines you want.
Fence lines fit too. A fence row gone to brush gets mulched back so you can see the wire again. On hunting land, the head opens shooting lanes and cuts back the edges of a food plot.
Overgrown lots and the grown-in edges of fields work the same way. Trails through the woods can be opened and widened too. Ground you will not build on for a while stays covered in mulch as it waits.
Some of it will, because the roots stay in the soil. MSU Extension notes that mulched hardwood stumps can sprout again. Sweetgum also sprouts from its roots. Forest Service researchers have found 40 or more young stems on one tree's roots.
Privet comes back the same way. The Mississippi Forestry Commission says it grows readily from seed and from root and stump sprouts. Alabama Extension adds that new seedlings often show up the next year, especially along the edge of the woods.
A second pass with the mulching head knocks the sprouts back down. Mulched privet tends to come back even, which makes it easier to spray if you hire a licensed applicator. The Forestry Commission notes that mowing can keep privet in check if it is done often enough.
It starts when you call or text (601) 410-5339. Send photos and a pin if you like, or we come out and look at the site. Either way, the quote comes in writing.
Before the work starts, show us the trees you want kept. Point out old fence wire and soft spots hidden in the brush. Cogongrass patches matter too, because the Mississippi Forestry Commission lists equipment among the ways it spreads.
On the day, the mulching head grinds through the brush and leaves the mulch where the brush stood. The mulch often lies in a thick layer, and the ground is open to use right away. The trees you picked stay standing. When we finish, we go over the ground with you.
