We’re ready to start building our home on a up-sloping, wooded, 2 acre lot (~ 25% slope).  Are there any alternatives for clearing the trees from the 300’ long winding driveway and home site besides having them bulldozed and hauled off to a dump?  (In which case I then have to turn around and purchase mulch for erosion control.)

We’re looking for some type of on-site mulching option. The slope will prevent large grinders from being located anywhere but at the street level, in which case logs would have to be hauled down to the grinder and then mulch hauled back up the hill.  Is that do-able? Was hoping to use the woods that we have to take down for something, even if it’s just mulch.

You might want to try contacting an onsite portable saw mill company.

Here are some folks that might be able to help you out:

Whole logs should definitely go to a sawmill instead of just being used for mulch.

Good luck.

We consulted an arborist and there were only a few trees on the lot that were large enough to mill.  (We are preserving the largest trees on the lot and working the driveway around them.) We ended up contracting w/ an on-site mulching company advertised on the WNCGBC website (http://www.erhservicesllc.com) and were very pleased with the results.  ERH Services mulched the trees directly where they fell, providing very effective shredded mulch that is great for preventing erosion on our slope during contruction.  The picture shows the mulched area after the machine (a large CAT with a mulching attachment in front) came thru and took down the trees and brush in it’s path.

Hello,
I am owner/operator of Green Forestry Solutions and we specialize in eco-friendly land clearing methods.  We do not burn or dump in land fills.  With the use of mulchers and chippers we can mulch everything up to 10"s

Our web site is http://www.greenforestrysolutions.com and I can be contacted through here or there and you can also call me directly at 828-719-5629

I hope this is helpful and please contact me if I can do anything else for you.

We Rarely Have any wood from clearing that gets wasted. Anything straight over 12” in diameter, 10” if it’s really nice, gets sawn into lumber for trim and cabinets, we have to haul the logs to the mill. Anything under 10” will fit into the chipper that we use, to make plenty of mulch to ensure that no disturbed dirt is left unprotected. Anything rejected for either of these uses is readily cut for firewood.  This is a simple way to utilize resources, and helps bring homes closer to the land that they belong to.

Healthy soils contain five basic components; oxygen, organic matter, mineral matter, living organisms and moisture. A Soil’s porosity allows water to drain through, carbon dioxide to escape and oxygen to enter. Large machines operating on exposed soils, particularly in wet conditions, compact soil pores and prevent these processes from occurring.

The first part of the alleviation process employs the use of a TerraVent. This works by driving a hollow metal probe into the ground and releasing a jet of high pressure Nitrogen gas. This gas shatters any hard packed layers or pans within the soil and allows any surface water that may have gathered on the surface to drain freely.

This first step of the re-structuring process allows oxygen down to the layers and encourages living organisms such as bacteria to re-colonise the soil. A liquid humate material can also be injected at the same time to improve soil structure post de-compaction.

Where compaction is broad spread and soil structure has been affected to such an extent that drainage is affected the TerraVent is used primarily to drain the surface water from the site.

The next stage in the remediation process is to help rebuild the soil structure by incorporation of organic matter. Firstly this provides a food source for organisms such as earth worms and beneficial fungi, subsequently becoming absorbed by the trees. The combination of earthworms and fungi help to break down the organic matter into a form that can be taken up by tree roots. Meanwhile, earthworms also incorporate the bulkier material into the soil and this helps to keep soil pores open maintaining good soil porosity.

Organic material helps to retain water in the soil. This is vitally important particularly on development sites where the natural water tables may be severally disrupted by deep excavations and earth moving. Finally when organic matter is applied in a thick layer or mulch to the surface of the soil it absorbs the affect of pedestrian traffic and helps to prevent compaction within the RPA of the trees post development stage.

Types of organic material, there are several types that are available including farmyard manure, peat, leaf litter, composted woodchip, bark and compost. However for the specific use around trees it is recommended that only low nutrient, neutral pH and properly composted materials should be used.
