Breaking Ground: Land Clearing Guides & Our Journey in Maine
Tips on forestry mulching, land management, and building Siteworks from the ground up.
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.
