Roger had just under half an acre of woods behind his home in Independence that he couldn't use. Honeysuckle had filled in everything under the canopy, and vinca had carpeted the ground. He had a clear goal: a park-like space the grandkids could actually walk through.
- Where: Independence, KY
- Size: just under 1/2 acre of woods
- Problem: honeysuckle understory and vinca ground cover
- Machine: Cat 299 with a forestry mulcher
- Kept: all the mature hardwoods
Keeping the woods, losing the junk
This wasn't a clear-cut job. The mature hardwoods were the whole point of the property, so the plan was to mulch out the understory and leave the big trees standing. We walked the lot with Roger, agreed on what stays and what goes, and kept the finish simple. The edges didn't need to be perfect. They just needed to open up.
The work
Brandon and Ethan brought in a Cat 299 with a forestry mulcher and worked the honeysuckle and brush down in place. The ground-up material stays on site as a mulch layer over the soil. They finished in an afternoon.
The result
What used to be a wall of brush is now an open walk under the trees. You can see deep into the woods, and the grandkids have room to roam.
"We love our new nature walk. I highly recommend Bulk Company. You can't do better."
