Forestry Mulching And Land Clearing in Lexington, KY
Bluegrass fence rows, opened back up.
Lexington is a place we know well, and horse farm ground is exactly what our machines are built for.
Forestry mulching in Lexington, KY is the far end of our range, about an hour and 45 minutes down I-75 from North Bend, past Walton and Georgetown. It's also a place we know well, and Bluegrass farm work suits our machines.
Outside Lexington's urban service boundary, Fayette County is farm country: horse farms, board fence and rolling pasture over limestone. The trouble spots repeat from farm to farm. Eastern red cedar creeping into old pasture, honeysuckle and multiflora rose taking over fence rows, and creek banks turned into thickets.
Fence rows on horse farms
Board fence is only as good as the line it sits on. When cedar, saplings and honeysuckle grow up through it, boards get pushed off and you can't run a mower down the line. We mulch both sides of the fence row down to the ground with brush clearing, so the fence can be fixed or replaced and kept clean after.
We love Lexington.

Cedar taking back old pasture
Red cedar moves into Bluegrass pasture once grazing or mowing slows down. Left alone, a field turns into a cedar thicket that horses and cattle can't use. A forestry mulcher takes those cedars down and grinds them in place, with no burn piles and no trees shoved into the woods line. That's the heart of our forestry mulching for overgrown land work, and of clearing acreage that's been sitting unused.
Working on limestone ground
Fayette County sits on limestone, and sinkholes are common across the Inner Bluegrass. That's another reason we mulch instead of dig. The mulcher works on top of the ground and leaves the topsoil and roots where they are, and nothing gets pushed into a sinkhole. Where digging is needed, like a drainage trench, we look the ground over first.

Questions from Lexington
Do you really come all the way to Lexington?
Yes, for the right job. It's about an hour and 45 minutes from North Bend, so we schedule Lexington work as full job days. The best fits are farm-sized: long fence rows, cedar-choked pasture and creek bottoms.
Can you clear along board fence without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. The mulcher can work close to standing board fence and cut growth back from both sides. Where a tree has grown into the boards, we'll point it out before we start so you can decide how to handle that section.
Can we graze Bluegrass pasture again after mulching?
Yes. Mulching leaves the topsoil in place under a layer of ground-up wood, and grass comes back through it. A lot of owners overseed after clearing to speed that up, and your county extension office can suggest a seed mix.
How do you price a farm job this far away?
By the job. We look at the acreage, what's growing and how we get in, then give you one price. You aren't paying an hourly rate for the drive down I-75.
What about the cedar stumps?
The mulcher head takes stumps down as part of the clearing, so you aren't left with spikes in the pasture. We don't sell stump grinding on its own; it comes with a clearing job.
Do you work outside Fayette County?
Yes. Georgetown, Versailles, Paris and Nicholasville are all in range, and anything along I-75 between Lexington and Northern Kentucky is on our way.
