Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing in Macon, MO
Fence lines, thinned-out pasture and lake-country timber around Macon County, cleared without a burn pile.
Land clearing in Macon, MO covers the farm and pasture ground along Highways 36 and 63, the timber and hunting ground around Long Branch Lake, and the rolling country south toward Bevier and Callao.
Forestry mulching around Macon, Missouri clears the cedar, hedge and brush that close in on fence lines, pasture and timber edges across Macon County, including the ground around Long Branch Lake. The growth is ground where it stands and left as a mulch layer, so there is no burn pile and nothing to haul off the property.
Macon: Pasture Ground Losing the Fight With Cedar
Macon County is grazing country as much as it is crop country, and that is where the clearing work comes from. A pasture that is not mowed or grazed hard enough thins out under cedar in a decade, and once the canopy closes the grass underneath is gone. The good news is that cedar does not resprout. Cut it, and that stem is finished for good, and with the sod left intact underneath the pasture has a real chance to come back.
The ground around Long Branch Lake is heavier timber and a lot of it is managed for hunting. That work is trails, shooting lanes, opening up bedding edges and cleaning the brush off food-plot borders. Mulching leaves the ground covered, which matters on the slopes around the lake where bare dirt would wash straight into the water.
Along Highway 36 and south toward Bevier the country was mined in places, the same as Randolph County to the south, and the reclaimed ground grows locust, sumac and cedar thick enough that you cannot see across it. A tracked machine handles the rough grade, and there is no piling or burning to do afterwards.
Macon is north of our home base in Salisbury, and it is a comfortable haul up Route 3 or Highway 63. If you are north of the lake it is worth a quick phone call to confirm timing and what travel adds to the quote.

Macon FAQ
Common questions from property owners in Macon, Missouri.
Yes. The shop is in Salisbury, about 45 minutes south of Macon. Travel time is part of the quote, so call and we will tell you what it adds.
Often, yes. Mulching keeps the sod intact and cedar does not resprout, so once the shade is off, grass that was hanging on underneath usually recovers. Where the stand was gone entirely, you are looking at reseeding, but the ground is ready for it.
That is what the mulch layer is for. Instead of bare dirt, the slope is left covered with ground-up material that holds it through the first hard rains.
