We started BillyGoat Mulching to help customers with land clearing through a process called forestry mulching. Forestry mulching uses hydraulic carrier units like skid steers to spin a drum or disk covered in sharp teeth at about 2500rpm, this makes mulching near people or structures extremely dangerous. During the time we were providing forestry mulching services to our customers we kept running into people that had either been told by other mulching companies or social media that forestry mulching would completely remove the vegetation. This is simply not true, BillyGoat mulching always explained that the mulching could only make it flush with the surface and that it would take years for the mulch to break down. This means that while the mulch is laying on the surface it is robbing the first 2-3 inches of the soil of all the nitrogen making it extremely hard for anything to grow.
This means that someone that was hoping to use the area for grass would not be able to use the area till the mulch had composted. That could take years, not to mention the root systems that were below that 2–3-inch line that try to grow back. This means more calls for service for years to come or having to pay someone else to come grind out all the stumps and remove the mulch. So BillyGoat mulching was determined to find a way to change the way people think about forestry mulching. After years of research, we found an attachment that could not only remove the material above the surface but also solve the problem of regrowth by burying the mulch 6+ inches below the surface. This means the mulch will compost much faster and the surface is not affected for shallow rooting plants like grass.
So BillyGoat Sub-Soil Mulching was born.
