Forestry Mulching And Land Clearing in Georgetown, KY
Straight down I-75 to Georgetown.
Georgetown is the front door to the Bluegrass for us, and one of the places we most want to work.
Forestry mulching in Georgetown, KY is a straight shot for us: down I-75 from Northern Kentucky, past Walton and Williamstown, and into Scott County about an hour and a half from North Bend. Georgetown is just north of Lexington, but it's ground we want to be known for in its own right.
Scott County is a mix of fast-growing neighborhoods around Georgetown and farm country everywhere else: horse and cattle farms, hay ground, creek bottoms and wooded draws. The problems are the same ones we see across the Bluegrass. Cedar creeping into pasture, honeysuckle and multiflora rose taking over fence rows, and back acres nobody can walk anymore.
Farm ground and fence rows across Scott County
North and west of town, Scott County is rolling farm ground over limestone, with plank and wire fence running between fields. Once cedar, saplings and briars get into a fence row, you can't mow it, you can't fix it, and before long you can't find it.
We mulch the line down to the ground on both sides with brush clearing, so the fence can be repaired and kept clean. Old pasture that's gone to cedar and autumn olive gets the same treatment through forestry mulching for overgrown land.
Creek banks along the Elkhorn
North Elkhorn Creek winds through the county, and its banks and the smaller creeks feeding it fill in with honeysuckle and brush until you can't see the water. Bulldozing a creek bank invites it to wash out.
A mulcher cuts the brush down and leaves the roots holding the bank, so you get your view and your access back without bare dirt sliding into the creek. See how brush mulching handles thick understory under the trees you keep.
New homes on wooded lots around Georgetown
Georgetown has been one of the fastest-growing towns in Kentucky, and new houses keep going in on ground that was woods or pasture not long ago. Before a builder can start, the brush and small trees have to come out without wrecking the lot.
Lot clearing takes out the understory, keeps the trees worth keeping and leaves ground the builder can work. If the lot needs a drainage trench while the machines are there, we look the ground over first, since limestone and sinkholes are part of life in the Bluegrass.

Questions from Georgetown
Do you really work in Georgetown?
Yes. Georgetown and Scott County are a priority for us, not an afterthought. It's about an hour and a half down I-75 from North Bend, so we schedule Georgetown work as full job days and keep the machines there until it's done.
Do you work out toward Sadieville and Stamping Ground?
Yes. The farm ground in the north and west of Scott County, around Sadieville and Stamping Ground, is exactly the kind of work we're built for: long fence rows, cedar in old pasture and grown-up creek bottoms.
Can you clear along plank fence without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. The mulcher can work close to a standing fence and cut growth back from both sides. Where a tree has grown into the boards or wire, we'll point it out before we start so you can decide how to handle that section.
Is mulching safe on ground with sinkholes?
It's one of the gentler ways to clear it. The mulcher works on top of the ground and leaves the topsoil and roots where they are, and nothing gets pushed into a sinkhole. If we spot one, we mark it and work around it.
How do you price a job this far from home?
By the job. We walk the property, look at what's growing and how we get in, and give you one price for the work. You aren't paying an hourly rate for the drive down I-75.
Do you also cover Lexington?
Yes. Lexington, KY and Fayette County are just south of Georgetown, and anything along I-75 between here and Northern Kentucky is on our way.
