Underbrush Removal

Clearing under, not clearing off

A lot of land out here isn't overgrown so much as choked. The canopy is fine — good hardwood, healthy pine — but you can't walk through it, can't hunt it, can't see across it, and the young timber can't get going because the understory has taken everything.

Mulching the understory out solves that in one pass without touching the trees you're keeping. What you get back is open woods you can actually use.

Privet and kudzu

Chinese privet is the single worst offender in West Alabama and it takes over a bottom faster than anything else growing. Kudzu is close behind. Neither dies from one pass — both come back from the root — but mulching knocks them down to nothing, makes the ground usable again, and puts you in a position where a follow-up treatment can actually reach them. Anyone promising a permanent kill in one visit is guessing.
