What Affects the Cost of Forestry Mulching?

Type of Material

Dense trees require mulching knives, increasing cost to $2,800/day, but they process hardwood and larger trees more efficiently.

Light Brush or Saplings Uses carbide teeth, which last longer and lower the rate to $2,500/day.

Terrain & Slope

Steep or rocky ground slows production and can affect total project time.

Larger, open flat areas reduce cost for forestry mulching per acre thanks to faster progress.

 

On average, a professional forestry mulching operator can clear 1–3 acres per day, depending on terrain, vegetation density, and site conditions.
