BULLDOZING
DISTURBS THE GROUND Bulldozing creates big
problems, especially in recharge zones and areas with concerns for wildlife
preservation and erosion. Bulldozers work
by forcing trees and brush up out of the ground, yanking them up by their
roots, and scraping up great quantities of rocks and dirt. In order to be
disposed of, this debris must be raked and sorted. The brush must be piled,
left to dry, and finally burned. The piles of rocks and dirt must be hauled
away – and all too often, these eyesores end up never getting hauled away.
Meanwhile, the scarred land left behind is defenseless to erosion.
MULCHING MACHINES The Bull hog Improves
the land without the destruction. Brush, trees and stumps are removed as close
to ground level as the terrain allows, and all that organic material is left on
the ground as mulch. The fire hazard in the area is lessened – because mulch
burns at a very slow pace (smolders), stopping or greatly slowing the spread of
fire. Because root
systems are left intact in the ground, and there is a layer of beneficial
mulch, there will be less erosion than would have occurred before! Cedar trees will NOT come back from the roots. Of
course, as the mulch decomposes over time, improving the quality of the
underlying soil, things will grow in the cleared area. Upkeep can be as simple
as a once-a-year mowing or plowing.
Erosion
A key to control of erosion
is the roots.
Neighboring trees and vegitation have complex
interconnected root systems.
If you uproot one tree, you can compromise adjacent ones that you
intended to keep.
With the Bull Hog
you can grind down to the ground level, leaving roots intact and
adjacent trees secure.
If you have stumps to clear, it is not
always good to uproot them.
Uprooting weakens the subsoil, leaving it prone for erosion during
heavy rain.
With the Bull Hog
you can grind down to just below the ground level, leaving roots
and the soil intact.
WHEN
ENVIRONMENTAL LAND CLEARING IS A BETTER CHOICE When making Right-Of-Ways, fire breaks, commercial
development, flood control channels, storm debris, nature trails, parks, fence lines, field reclamation, and
more
WHEN
BULLDOZING IS A BETTER CHOICE When building roadways, and pad sites for homes. Because they remove roots and
all, dozers don't leave organic matter to decompose and create pockets beneath
the surface of roads and foundations. In the case of a new home or commercial
site, our approach is to use our land clearing machine first, then bulldoze
JUST the actual pad site
