Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into a mulch layer where they stand. Nothing gets hauled off and nothing gets burned.

Land clearing in Forest City usually starts with ground you can no longer use. Brush swallowed the back acres, or a fence line vanished under vines and saplings. Storm-broken trees still lean over the yard and the driveway. We clear that ground with our own machines and hand it back ready to work.
We work out of Shelby, about 20 miles east of Forest City on US 74. Most jobs here run to forestry mulching, tree removal, stump grinding and debris haul-off. Grading and leveling follow when you want a smooth surface to build or seed. Bush hogging keeps pasture and trails open once the heavy work is done.

Forest City sits about 1,011 feet up in the Blue Ridge foothills. The ground rolls instead of lying flat, and creek bottoms drain toward the Second Broad River. Oak, hickory, sweetgum and pine grow thick on the slopes. Privet and kudzu take over any old field or fence line left alone for a few years.
Helene came through Rutherford County on September 27, 2024. Crews have since hauled more than 75,000 cubic yards of limbs and trees off roads and public property. Another 39,000 cubic yards came out of county waterways. That work covered public ground, so downed wood on private land is still yours to handle.
Most tracts around Forest City carry some slope, and many back up to woods. We run a tracked forestry mulcher, skid steers with root grapples, excavators and a dozer with a root rake. Tracks spread the weight and hold grades where wheels would slip. We come out and price the job first, and the estimate is free.
In thick woods we mulch on site and leave the chips as ground cover. For a build pad or a pasture we pull stumps and roots, then grade the surface flat. Grapple trucks haul away whatever you don't want left on the property. Fence lines, shooting lanes, food plots and storm cleanup all run the same way.

Highly recommend Dewey and the team at LDS Solutions! They have done phenomenal work for us at Wallace Haven LLC clearing downed and dying trees, cleaning up overgrown areas, and helping transform our property. They've been dependable, hardworking, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish.
We couldn't be happier with the work this crew did on our property! They handled land clearing, forestry mulching, brush hogging, and even some skid steer and excavator work. The land clearing and mulching made such a huge difference; it looks like a whole new space now. We'll definitely be using them again!
Hurricane Helene took down many of our trees, preventing us from enjoying our space by the creek. These folks came, developed a plan, reviewed it with me, provided a fair price, and restored my access to the woods and creek. They also left the property spotless once the project was completed. CLEAN!
Dewey came to my home in Shelby. He used his forestry mulcher and cleared my back yard and fence line. He also removed all the roots and vines running up on my house. Before, I could not see my fence or shed. I recommend anyone to use him and his services.
I fought a yard slope for our above ground pool for a few years now. Dewey showed up and solved it all within a day and the grading is top notch. 100% recommended!
Dewey forestry mulched for 11 days. They also excavated and dug out two 24 inch culvert pipes to allow us access on land. Amazing job, highly recommended to anyone needing work done! On time every day and under budget!
These guys do great work at a great price! Thank you!
