Clear Land Without Hauling — One Pass, One Machine

Forestry mulching is the most efficient, cost-effective way to clear brush, small trees, and overgrown vegetation. A single machine grinds trees, brush, and invasives into mulch right where they stand — no hauling, no burning, no dump fees. The mulch suppresses regrowth and enriches the soil.
Unlike traditional clearing — which requires cutting, hauling, chipping, and burning — forestry mulching completes the entire process in one pass. It's faster, cleaner, more environmentally friendly, and more cost-effective. Ideal for lot clearing, brush removal, invasive species management, fire mitigation, trail clearing, and pasture restoration. Our equipment works on flat ground, slopes, forested terrain, and rocky soil.

Why Choose Us
Trees, brush, and invasives ground into mulch in a single pass — no hauling or burning.
Mulch decomposes naturally, returning nutrients to the soil. No burning, no waste.
The mulch layer suppresses weed and invasive regrowth, keeping your land clear longer.
Our track-mounted mulcher handles slopes, forests, and rocky ground.
Portland Local Expertise
Ideal for Portland's Pacific Northwest climate, where invasive Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom thrive.
Our mulcher works on steep slopes, forested terrain, and rocky ground common in Clackamas County and the Mt. Hood corridor.
No hauling required — mulch stays on-site as a soil amendment, eliminating dump fees.
Oregon Landscape Contractors Board (LCB) licensed and insured. Our forestry mulching crew is trained, insured, and equipped with professional-grade machinery. You get a state-regulated, bonded contractor — not an unlicensed operator with rented equipment.

Testimonials
"Austin at Stephens Landscaping is amazing! The fact that he's running this business and doing all the hard labor by himself shows what a hard worker he is! He was very clear about what steps were needed in order to have what I wanted in my yard! Fair prices too!"
"I had an excellent experience with Austin at Stephens Landscaping! He was very thorough in explaining how the process would work and how he could bring my dream front yard to life! I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. Very competitively priced and got our job done in one day!"
"Stephen's Landscaping recently cleaned up my yard for spring and did a great job. He pruned a lot of plants and bushes, cleaned up all the dead leaves, raked, etc. Now it's easier for me to maintain the yard for spring and summer. Will definitely hire him again."
"Austin helped us replace our fence and work on landscaping our back yard. He was punctual and fair with price and very honest about what would work with a yard that had high pet traffic. Will be a continued customer!"
