Frequently asked questions
Do you actually serve Norfork and Salesville, AR?
Yes. Norfork and Salesville, AR and the rest of Baxter 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 open a lake view without clearing the whole lot?
Yes, that is most of what we do down there. We take out the understory and junk growth in the sight line and leave the mature trees, so you get the water view and keep the shade and privacy.
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.
