Sunman Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching
Acre lots, woods and overgrown country property around Sunman and northern Ripley County, cleared and mulched in place. We've done several jobs out here, two of them on the same road.
An acre gets away from you fast
A lot of Sunman properties are an acre or more, with a house up front and woods or brush taking over the back. Mowing it isn't realistic, a brush hog won't touch it, and renting a machine for a weekend usually ends badly.
A forestry mulcher takes care of it in a day. We grind the brush, honeysuckle and small trees down in place and leave the good trees alone. When the ground is rocky, we switch to a carbide head so we're not fighting it all day.
- Acre lots cleared in a day on most Sunman jobs
- Carbide teeth for rocky ground so the work keeps moving
- Two-man crews on the bigger days
- Nothing to haul the mulch stays and protects the soil
Sunman jobs
Paid work we've finished in Sunman.
Woods you can walk again
Underbrush mulched out between the good trees. That's what most Sunman jobs look like when we leave.
Same road, second job
We'd already cleared a property down the road, and this fall another homeowner nearby called us out. We walked it, scoped it and cleared it with a carbide head.
An acre with a two-man crew
About an acre of overgrowth cleared in a day with two guys and a CAT 299.
Day-rate acre
Another acre lot, this one on a day rate. The owner pointed, we cleared, and the back of the property is usable again.
What we clear in Sunman
Honeysuckle & brush removal
The number one thing we clear around Sunman. Ground down to the dirt, mulched in place, nothing hauled off.
Honeysuckle removal →Lot & build site clearing
House pads, driveway corridors, barn and pole-building sites cleared so the next crew can get right to work.
Woods & underbrush
Clear out the junk under the canopy and keep the good hardwoods, so the woods are usable again.
Fence lines & road frontage
Overgrown fence rows and frontage cleared tight so you can fence, mow or see out the driveway.
Stump grinding
When stumps need to go below grade for mowing, seeding or a structure, we bring the grinder.
Seed & straw after
Want grass where the brush was? We can seed and straw the cleared area on the same visit.
Land restoration →Different heads for different ground
We run knife heads for clean brush and carbide heads for rocky or dirty ground, both on tracked CAT 299s. Picking the right one is part of the walkthrough, and it's a big reason the work goes fast.

"I will recommend this crew to anyone that asks. Great to work with and made quick work of an area that the brush mower didn't stand a chance. Left the area in great shape ready to be replanted. Very impressed."

Sunman land clearing FAQs
Do you come out as far as Sunman?
Yes. We've done several paid jobs in Sunman, and it's an easy drive from our Harrison yard.
My ground is rocky. Is that a problem?
Not usually. We switch to a carbide-tooth mulching head for rocky or dirty ground. We'll look at it on the walkthrough and bring the right setup.
Do you haul everything off?
No. Almost everything we cut gets mulched and stays on site. That's a big part of why it costs a lot less than traditional clearing, and the mulch protects the soil while it breaks down.
Will the honeysuckle grow back?
Some will, because the roots are still in the ground. The best way to keep it from coming back is a follow-up recut the next season, and we can schedule that for you.
Forestry mulching or land clearing, which do I need?
If you want the brush and small trees gone and the land usable, that's forestry mulching: we grind it in place and leave mulch behind. If the ground has to be ready for something specific, like a house, driveway or barn, that's land clearing, which can add stump grinding and bucket work. Most jobs are a mix, and we'll scope it on the walkthrough.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
It depends on how thick it is, the acreage, the terrain and the finish you want. A lot of residential jobs are done in a day, and bigger acreage runs several days. After a walkthrough you get a written quote, either a hard price or a day rate.
