Breaking Ground: Land Clearing Guides & Our Journey in Maine
Tips on forestry mulching, land management, and building Siteworks from the ground up.
Hauling Ahead: The Trailer That Keeps Us Moving
Siteworks Maine has added a Big Tex 22GN Gooseneck Trailer to the fleet — built to safely haul our CAT 275 XE forestry mulcher and attachments across Maine. With 23,900 lbs GVWR, Mega Ramps, and a rugged design, this upgrade means faster mobilization, safer hauling, and reliable land clearing for every client.
Why DEP Certification Matters: Protecting Maine’s Land While Clearing It
In Maine, land clearing isn’t just about cutting brush — it’s about protecting the streams, slopes, and soil that make this state unique. That’s why Siteworks Maine holds a DEP Certification: to ensure every project we take on is not only effective, but environmentally responsible and fully compliant with state requirements.
Breaking Ground: The Truck That Will Haul Us Forward
Starting Siteworks Maine meant more than buying a machine — it meant building a system. The truck is the backbone. After months of research, I chose a Ford F-350 Super Duty with a long bed, larger fuel tank, and the 6.7L Power Stroke® diesel, perfectly spec’d for hauling a gooseneck loaded with the CAT 275XE. Working with Tyler at Darling’s Ford in Bangor made the process smooth, and buying local ensures the support I’ll need as the business grows. This truck is more than transportation — it’s a cornerstone of Siteworks Maine’s future.
What Is Forestry Mulching and How Does It Work in Maine?
Forestry mulching is changing the way Maine landowners clear their property. Instead of cutting, piling, hauling, or burning, a single machine grinds brush, saplings, and small trees into mulch right where they stand. At Siteworks Maine, we use a CAT 275 XE Compact Track Loader with a dedicated mulching head, built to handle tough terrain in Penobscot and Hancock Counties. This setup allows us to clear overgrown lots, pastures, trails, and camp sites quickly while leaving a protective mulch layer that enriches soil and reduces erosion. Whether you’re reclaiming old fields, opening hunting lanes, or managing invasive brush, forestry mulching provides fast, clean results without the hassle of debris cleanup. If you’re looking for a practical way to take back your land, forestry mulching is one of the most effective options available in Maine.
