BillyGoat Mulching was started with one clear goal to help customers clear and reclaim their land using forestry mulching in a safer, more efficient way.
Traditional forestry mulching uses powerful hydraulic carrier machines such as skid steers or dedicated mulchers to spin a drum or disk covered in carbide teeth at speeds approaching 2,500 RPM. While this method is effective for reducing vegetation, it also makes operating near people, homes, fences, or other structures extremely dangerous and requires experienced operators and strict safety practices.
As we provided forestry mulching services, we repeatedly encountered a major misconception. Many customers had been told by other contractors or through social media that forestry mulching would completely remove vegetation and leave land ready for grass or development. Unfortunately, that simply isn’t true.
Forestry mulching grinds material flush with the ground surface, leaving the mulch on top of the soil. That mulch can take years to break down. During that time, it robs the top 2–3 inches of soil of nitrogen, making it extremely difficult for grass or other shallow-rooted plants to grow. On top of that, root systems below that depth often survive and attempt to regrow, leading to repeated maintenance, additional clearing costs, or the need for full stump grinding and material removal later.
We realized this meant customers were often paying twice once for mulching, and again to fix the problems left behind.
Determined to find a better solution, BillyGoat Mulching spent years researching alternative methods. That research led us to a specialized attachment capable of not only removing surface vegetation, but also addressing regrowth at its source. By burying the mulch more than 6 inches below the surface, this process allows the material to compost faster while leaving the topsoil usable for grass and other shallow-rooted plants.
This innovation changed everything.
BillyGoat Sub-Soil Mulching was born combining the efficiency of mulching with true land usability, faster recovery times, and long-term results customers can actually build, seed, and grow on.
