The fastest, cleanest way to clear trees and brush on many Augusta-area properties. One machine grinds everything into mulch on-site — no hauling, no burning, less damage to the soil.
Forestry mulching uses a single specialized machine — typically a skid steer or tracked unit fitted with a rotary drum head — to cut, grind, and spread trees, brush, and vegetation directly on the ground as mulch. The result is a clean, mulched surface with no debris to haul off and far less soil disturbance than traditional clearing methods.
For many Augusta-area properties, forestry mulching is the most efficient and cost-effective clearing method available. It's particularly well-suited to the mixed pine and hardwood forests common across Burke County, Jefferson County, and the CSRA — where you want the land cleared but don't necessarily need it stripped bare for grading.
EVO Clear & Grade brings professional forestry mulching to property owners across Augusta, GA and the surrounding area. We walk your property, assess the vegetation and terrain, and tell you honestly whether mulching or traditional clearing is the better fit for your specific project.

Augusta-area land that's been neglected for years develops thick stands of privet, sweetgum saplings, wild cherry, and invasive vines. Forestry mulching clears all of it quickly and the mulch layer actually helps suppress regrowth. Ideal for landowners reclaiming property without wanting it completely stripped.
Clearing overgrown fence lines and property borders is one of the best uses for forestry mulching in the CSRA. The machine works along linear corridors efficiently and doesn't leave windrows of brush to clean up afterward.
Hunters, landowners, and farmers across Burke County and surrounding counties use forestry mulching to create food plots, shooting lanes, access trails, and improved habitat. It's cleaner and faster than bush-hogging thick vegetation.
For residential lots being cleared for a home, forestry mulching works well when the site doesn't need deep grading. The mulch layer can be worked into the soil or spread as erosion control. For sites requiring significant grading or building pads, we'll recommend traditional clearing instead.
Tracked forestry mulchers handle slopes and damp ground better than wheeled equipment. For Augusta properties with uneven terrain or areas that stay wet, mulching is often more practical than bringing in multiple machines for traditional clearing.
Forestry mulching can be used to selectively clear underbrush while preserving mature desirable trees — something traditional clearing makes more difficult. If you want to open up a wooded lot while keeping certain trees, mulching gives you that control.
We walk your Augusta-area property and assess vegetation type, density, terrain, and your goals. We'll tell you whether mulching is the right approach or if traditional clearing is better for your specific situation.
Our forestry mulcher moves through the property systematically, grinding trees and brush into a uniform mulch layer. We work around any trees or areas you want preserved and handle slopes and wet spots efficiently.
When we're done, your property has a clean mulched surface — no piles, no hauling to wait on, no burn piles to manage. The mulch decomposes naturally and enriches the soil. Ready for your next step.
We provide forestry mulching to residential, agricultural, and commercial property owners throughout Augusta and the surrounding region.
What Augusta property owners ask before booking forestry mulching.
Forestry mulching in Augusta typically runs $150–$400 per hour or $800–$3,000+ per acre depending on vegetation density and terrain. Dense, mature trees cost more than light brush. On many jobs, mulching is more affordable than traditional clearing because debris hauling is eliminated. We give you a firm quote after walking your property — call (706) 360-6627.
It depends on your goal. Forestry mulching is better when you want efficient vegetation clearing without hauling, on slopes, in wet areas, or when you want to preserve soil quality. Traditional clearing is better when you need deep grading, a building pad, or a completely debris-free soil surface. We'll recommend the right method when we walk your Augusta property.
No — the mulch layer typically decomposes within 1–2 years and actually enriches the soil. It also acts as erosion control on bare ground. If you need to build or grade immediately after clearing, we can discuss options during the estimate — in some cases a combination of mulching and grading is the right approach.
Most forestry mulchers handle trees up to 6–8 inches in diameter efficiently. Larger hardwoods may need to be felled first or handled with traditional clearing equipment. We assess tree sizes during the estimate and let you know upfront if any trees exceed what mulching handles best.
Yes — tracked forestry mulchers are well-suited for soft ground and low-lying areas common in the Augusta and Burke County region. The low ground pressure of tracked machines minimizes rutting compared to wheeled equipment. We'll assess the specific ground conditions when we visit your property.
