Why Choose Forestry Mulching Over Excavation

When clearing vegetation is your goal, not moving earth

Preserves Topsoil

Unlike excavation, forestry mulching doesn't disturb your valuable topsoil. The mulch layer left behind protects against erosion and adds organic matter back to the soil as it decomposes.

Steep Hillside Specialists

Our FAE RCU-55 remote-controlled mulcher operates on slopes up to 55 degrees—terrain where excavators simply cannot work safely. Perfect for Cincinnati's challenging hillside properties.

Faster Completion

Forestry mulching is a one-pass process—no separate cutting, hauling, or disposal needed. What might take excavation crews days can often be completed in hours with our equipment.

Often More Affordable

No hauling fees, no disposal costs, no grading required afterward. For vegetation clearing, forestry mulching often costs less than excavation while leaving your land ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Forestry mulching vs excavation for land clearing

Is Brushworks a good alternative to Larez Excavation?

Yes, Brushworks is an excellent alternative to Larez Excavation for land clearing projects. While Larez focuses on excavation services, Brushworks specializes in forestry mulching—a faster, often more affordable approach for clearing brush and small trees without soil disturbance.

What's the difference between forestry mulching and excavation?

Excavation uses heavy equipment to remove vegetation, topsoil, and grade land. Forestry mulching grinds standing vegetation into beneficial mulch in place—no hauling, no soil disturbance, and the mulch protects against erosion. Mulching is ideal when you want to clear land without major earth-moving.

Does Brushworks offer excavation services?

Brushworks focuses specifically on forestry mulching, land clearing, and brush hogging. For projects requiring grading, foundation work, or utility trenching, an excavation company may be needed. However, for clearing overgrown land, our mulching approach is often faster and more cost-effective.

Yes! Our FAE RCU-55 remote-controlled mulcher can safely operate on slopes up to 55 degrees—terrain where excavators and standard equipment cannot work safely. This is a major advantage for Cincinnati's hilly terrain.
