Hilltop Forestry Mulching Near the National Forest

We wanted to share a progress update on this hilltop mulching job we've been working on near the national forest. The goal here was pretty straightforward - clear out the heavy undergrowth that had taken over while keeping the larger, established trees standing. Those big trees provide shade and help protect the ground, so taking a selective approach matters a lot on a site like this.

That's exactly where forestry mulching shines. Instead of hauling everything off or burning it, the mulcher grinds the brush and smaller material right back into the ground. It keeps the soil covered, reduces erosion on a sloped hilltop like this one, and leaves the land looking clean without stripping it bare. The difference between a thoughtful clearing job and just bulldozing everything is significant - especially on ground this close to a national forest.

A couple of quick updates to share alongside this one. Our crew has a new addition - Jon Burdick is now officially part of the team. Excited to have him on board. Also, if you've noticed we've been a little quieter on posts lately, that's due to a recent injury keeping us off most job sites for a bit. We're still moving forward and will keep periodic updates coming on this project as work continues.

The hilltop is opening up really well. Solid views across the valley are starting to show through, and the ground cover from the mulching process is already doing its job holding the hillside together. More to come on this one.
