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 Lincolnton usually starts with a piece of ground you can't use. Old pasture off Reepsville Road grows back in pine and privet. A wooded lot near Boger City hides the spot you wanted to build on. Fence lines vanish under briars and volunteer sweetgum.

Lincoln County had 86,810 people in 2020. The 2025 estimate is 98,654. Most of that growth pushes over from the Charlotte side, and Lincolnton feels it. Ground that sat idle for years is worth looking at again.
Farms are part of the shift. The 2022 farm census counted 552 farms on 49,038 acres in Lincoln County. That is about 9 percent fewer acres than 2017. Of those farms, 296 sit on 10 to 49 acres. Tracts that size get split and sold, then cleared for a house site, a shop, a barn or pasture.
Hardwoods cover about 74 percent of Piedmont timberland, mostly oak and hickory. Loblolly pine, sweetgum and red maple fill in behind them. Chinese privet is behind a lot of the thick fence rows in this part of the state. Kudzu climbs whatever is still standing.
The ground under all of it is Cecil red clay, the North Carolina state soil. Clay gets slick when it's wet and packs hard when it dries. We run tracked machines so the weight spreads out. Brush gets mulched and roots come out with a grapple or root rake. Then we grade the surface so water leaves it.

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!
