Forestry Mulching
A tracked mulcher grinds cedar, briar, saplings and small hardwoods into a mulch layer that stays on site. No burn piles, no haul-off, no stump grinding.

Why mulching fits White River bluff ground
Ground around Calico Rock is steep, rocky and thin-soiled, dropping toward the White River. Pushing brush into piles with a dozer on that kind of slope strips what little topsoil there is and leaves bare ground that washes on the first hard rain.
Low ground pressure tracks and in-place grinding let us work slopes and rocky benches where dozer work is impractical. The mulch mat stays put, holds the hillside, slows regrowth and breaks down into the soil.
- No burn piles and no debris haul-off
- Selective — the hardwoods and views you want stay
- Low ground pressure tracks on slopes and wet ground
- Insured and bonded, free on-site estimates

Frequently asked questions
Do you actually serve Calico Rock, AR?
Yes. Calico Rock, AR and the rest of Izard County are inside our regular service area. Ozark Brush Beaters is a mobile land-clearing operation serving Mountain Home/Baxter County — we bring the equipment to your property rather than operating a storefront in town.
Can you work on steep river bluff property?
Within reason, yes. Tracked mulchers spread weight across low ground pressure tracks and handle grades and loose rock that wheeled equipment cannot. We walk the property first and tell you honestly what is safe to run and what is not.
How is forestry mulching different from bulldozing?
A dozer pushes vegetation, topsoil and root mass into piles that then have to be burned or hauled off, and it leaves disturbed, erosion-prone ground. Forestry mulching grinds standing brush in place and leaves a mulch mat that holds soil, suppresses regrowth and breaks down over time.
Will the trees I want to keep survive?
Yes — mulching is selective. We work around the hardwoods, shade trees and views you want to keep and take out only what you point out.
Does the mulch have to be removed?
No. The mulch layer is left on the ground where it protects soil from erosion, holds moisture and decomposes into the site over the following seasons.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. On-site estimates are free, and we usually get out to walk the property within about 48 hours.
