Commercial Forestry Mulching & Mastication

Forestry mulching and mastication are effective ways to manage vegetation without hauling material off-site. Using specialized equipment, trees and brush are processed into mulch that helps stabilize soil, reduce erosion, and suppress regrowth. This approach supports fuel reduction while improving overall ground conditions. At Over the Top Tree Service, we  have invested in modern equipment to maximize efficiency and results.
