Josh Carter started Barked Up Forestry Mulching Company to offer expert forestry mulching services for homeowners, contractors, and developers across the region. Forestry mulching is a single-step land clearing method that grinds standing growth into a protective layer of mulch, clearing your property the right way without burning or hauling debris off site.
Our brush removal services cut through dense thickets, saplings, and tangled vegetation to reclaim land that has been overgrown for years.
We take out unwanted trees while protecting the ones worth keeping, so you stay in control of how your land takes shape.
Clear the ground for a new build, a fence line, a pasture, or agricultural land you are bringing back into production.
Open up overgrown paths, property lines, and entry points so every corner of your acreage is usable again.
Because the mulching process happens in one pass, there is no burning and no debris to haul off. The ground cover that is left behind shields the soil from erosion, holds in moisture, and breaks down naturally to feed the earth over time.
Our crew runs modern, well-maintained equipment built specifically for forestry and land management. These machines move easily across uneven terrain and reach spots that conventional clearing can't, keeping your project on schedule.
From a single overgrown lot to acres of timberland, professional forestry mulching saves you time and money over traditional methods. Reach out to our local, owner-operated business for a free, no-pressure estimate.

Owner-operated land clearing in Catawba County
Barked Up Forestry uses forestry mulching as a land clearing method for turning brush, saplings, and unwanted trees into ground cover. When forestry mulching fits, Josh Carter works with you to protect useful areas, open sightlines, and create a cleaner site.
As a land management process often performed where access is tight, forestry mulching limits hauling by keeping shredded material on the ground. Forestry mulching does not strip the soil bare, and the mulch can soften equipment impact.
A forestry mulcher attaches to a compact track loader, so a single machine is used to cut vegetation and spread debris. The forestry mulching machine gives Josh control around slopes, structures, and trees that larger machines may not.
Every forestry mulching project starts with site conditions. Josh checks soil, rock, moisture, access, and vegetation before choosing an equipment path. His experience keeps forestry mulching selective, not a pass through every part of a lot.
Forestry mulching services can reclaim trails, pasture edges, fence rows, homesites, and hunting areas. Because the mulcher processes vegetation in place, forestry mulching keeps land clearing focused instead of disturbing the whole property.
Forestry mulching also supports vegetation management after storms or neglect. For many projects, forestry mulching is a clean first step before fencing, grading, building, or maintenance, while skilled mulchers leave an even layer across the site.
The cost of forestry mulching depends on acreage, density, terrain, equipment access, and the finish you expect. Josh walks the property, explains whether forestry mulching or another land clearing approach fits, and gives you a clear site estimate.
