Maximize Usable Land with Mastication
Clear unwanted Gambel oaks, shrubs, and trees
Preserve Forest Health and Manage Overcrowding
When your forest becomes overcrowded, it poses a threat for both you and the ecosystem. You lose your usable land, and trees become more susceptible to diseases. Clearing land by yourself is a formidable task, but Dove Creek Forestry’s mastication services give you an effective and accessible solution.
Mastication benefits forest health through mechanical fuel reduction, increasing wildlife habitat, and promoting watershed function.
Mastication Creates Usable and Defensible Space
Our specialized mastication equipment clears your land of unwanted vegetation through mulching shrubs and small trees. This mechanical fuel reduction process is ideal for clearing Gambel oak, brush clearing, and reducing the forest understory. Mitigating potential fire expansion enhances your land’s defensibility.
With mastication, the remaining mulch covers the land and improves the soil’s nutrients. This eliminates the need to haul debris off-site and becomes a more cost-effective solution to forest management.
Uses of Mastication Services in Colorado
Mastication provides superior forest management and promotes forest health.
Our mastication services are used for:
Scrub Oak Removal
This highly flammable species of trees pose a significant wildfire risk, as they become ladder fuel and cover large expanses of land. Masticating Scrub Oak is effective at reducing this risk.
Brush Clearing
Clearing dense brush reduces fire hazards that come from overgrown vegetation. Brush clearing with mastication eliminates the need to haul the brush away.
Field Mowing
Keeping large fields clear and protected from wildfire spread.
Forest Understory Clearing
Clearing dense forest understory, including Scrub Oak, shrubs, and immature trees, to reduce fuels, promote forest health, and improve aesthetics..
