“Thanks Dale, the property looks a million times better — way past our expectations. You were able to get more done than we thought you would. Anyone needing property maintenance done should definitely call Devore Forestry Mulching LLC.”

“Dale was great to work with, promptly responded to messages and was on time. Dale has the right equipment for the job I needed done — he made short work of heavy brush that would have taken 5 people a month to do by hand. Highly recommend his company.”

What We Do
🚜 Land & Lot Clearing
Building sites, driveways, and view corridors. Trees up to 8″ and all underbrush turned to mulch on the spot.
🏗️ Barn Pads & Building Site Prep
Barn pad cutting for pole barns, garages, and outbuildings — a level, ready-to-build pad cut into your site.
🌿 Brush & Underbrush Removal
Invasive growth, saplings, and thick undergrowth — mulched into a clean, walkable ground layer.
🛤️ Gravel Driveway Restoration
We loosen and re-grade your packed, weed-choked gravel — reclaiming stone you already paid for and bringing the driveway back to life for a fraction of the cost of new stone.
🐄 Pasture Reclamation
Bring overgrown fields and grazing land back into production without disturbing the topsoil.
🔥 Fire Mitigation & Fence Lines
Defensible space around structures, plus clean clearing along fences, easements, and right-of-ways.
