Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing in Ashland, MO
The fastest-growing corner of Boone County. House pads, lanes and sight lines opened up with the timber edge kept for a screen.
Land clearing in Ashland, MO covers the acreage corridor along Highway 63 between Columbia and the Missouri River, the rugged Cedar Creek and Three Creeks country to the east and south, and the river ground toward Hartsburg.
Forestry mulching around Ashland, Missouri clears cedar, honeysuckle and brush from the acreage lots and rugged breaks of southern Boone County, between Columbia and Jefferson City on Highway 63. Growth is ground where it stands and left as mulch, so a house pad and lane can be opened with the timber edge kept and no burn pile beside the build.
Ashland: Acreage Lots on Rugged Ground
Ashland is the fastest-growing corner of Boone County, halfway between Columbia and Jefferson City on Highway 63, and the ground around it is rougher than the north end of the county. The Cedar Creek and Three Creeks country to the east and south breaks into steep draws and rocky slopes. Put growth and rough ground together and the work is acreage lots: somebody has bought a wooded twenty and needs a pad, a lane and a view without a burn pile in the front yard.
The acreage-lot job has a rhythm to it. Walk the ground, stake the house site and the lane, decide which trees stay for a screen from the road and which draw becomes the view. Then the machine opens exactly that and nothing more, grinding the cedar and brush where it stands. There is no pile, nothing to burn next to a new house, and the edge you kept is still standing when the builder arrives.
The breaks toward Cedar Creek are hunting ground and slope ground both, and the argument for mulching there is erosion. Bare dirt on those slopes ends up in the creek. A mulch layer with the roots still underneath stays put.
Toward Hartsburg and the river the ground drops into the bluffs and bottoms along the Katy Trail, and the jobs turn to bluff cedar above and bottom brush below. Ashland is a little over an hour from our shop in Salisbury, so travel is part of the quote.

It is steeper and rockier toward Cedar Creek and Three Creeks, which is exactly where a tracked mulcher earns its keep: it handles the slope, and it leaves a mulch layer instead of bare dirt that would wash into the creek.
