Forestry Mulching
Our CAT 255 skid steer with a CAT HM215 forestry mulcher grinds brush and saplings into mulch where they stand. The mulch stays on your land, and the trees you want kept stay standing.

Land clearing turns neglected ground back into land you can use. Have overgrown fields, thick brush, unwanted saplings or property you can't even walk through? Doberman Excavation and Services has the heavy equipment to do the hard work. We clear lots and acreage in Oak Hill and across Greene County.
The work covers building lots and homesites, fields and pastures gone to brush, fence lines and rights-of-way, and hunting land. We clear it two ways: forestry mulching in place, or an excavator with hauling. A field that needs a cut more than a clearing is a job for brush hogging.

You may have a few acres to reclaim, or a property nobody has kept up in years. We have the equipment to clear either one. Brush removal opens up fields and pastures that have filled in with saplings. We have cleared brush and overgrowth to get a pasture ready for new goats.
On a homesite, lot clearing is the first step. We clear the spot for the house and the driveway, stumps and all. Then our site preparation work builds the pad and digs for the footings.
Fence lines and rights-of-way fill in with brush when nobody cuts them back. We clear them so the line is easy to see and reach again.
Our CAT 255 skid steer runs a CAT HM215 forestry mulcher. It turns heavy brush and saplings into mulch right on site. The mulch stays on the ground as a cover, and the roots stay in the soil.
Mulching fits fields, pastures, trails, hunting lanes and fence lines, where the goal is open, usable ground. The excavator fits a building lot or a new driveway, where the stumps have to come out. Stumps left under a pad or a driveway rot over time, and the ground above them can sink.
On an excavator job, we take the trees down and pull the stumps with their roots. Then we pile the debris and haul it away. One property can get some of each, with mulch on the back acres and stumps pulled where the house goes.
Hunting lanes and food plots are part of our land clearing work. We cut lanes through thick brush and saplings. For a food plot, we clear the ground so it is open for planting.
Trails get the same work. We clear ATV and walking trails, plus driveway and access trails into wooded land.
Much of Greene County is glacial till over shallow bedrock or over a dense layer that water sits on. That is why hillside ground can stay wet in spring. If wet ground is a regulated wetland, clear cutting in it or within 100 feet needs a state DEC permit. The DEC's online maps are a starting point, and a jurisdictional determination from the DEC gives the final answer.
