Eliminate
Kudzu grows up to a foot per day during peak season and quickly takes over:
- Deep root crowns allow it to regenerate after cutting or burning.
- Surface mulching or mowing only removes visible vines, leaving roots intact.
- Herbicide treatments often require repeated applications and may harm desirable plants.
Because the problem lies below ground, a surface-only solution doesn’t work.
The Smarter Solution for Kudzu Removal
If you want to stop kudzu once and for all, surface clearing isn’t enough. Subsoil mulching provides long-term invasive plant control by addressing the root cause — literally.
At BillyGoat Subsoil Mulching, we specialize in removing kudzu and other invasive plants using advanced subsoil mulching techniques that improve soil, prevent regrowth, and prepare your land for its next use.
Kudzu is one of the most aggressive invasive plants in the southern United States. Known as “the vine that ate the South”, kudzu spreads rapidly, smothering trees, pastures, and structures. Traditional methods like mowing, spraying, or surface mulching often fail because kudzu roots remain alive underground.
That’s where subsoil mulching for kudzu removal comes in. By going below the surface and targeting roots, subsoil mulching provides a long-term solution to invasive vine control.
What is Subsoil Mulching for Kudzu Removal?
Unlike forestry mulching or mowing, subsoil mulching uses specialized equipment to grind below the soil surface, shredding kudzu roots, crowns, and stumps. The organic matter is then mixed into the soil, improving fertility while eliminating the invasive vine’s ability to regrow.
Benefits of Subsoil Mulching for Kudzu Removal
- Kills Kudzu at the Root
Forestry mulching only clears surface vines. Subsoil mulching disrupts the root system, preventing regrowth. - Soil Enrichment
By incorporating mulched vegetation into the soil, nutrients are recycled back into the ground, restoring soil health. - Prevents Erosion
Kudzu removal often leaves bare ground. Subsoil mulching stabilizes the soil structure and makes the land suitable for reseeding or natural regrowth. - Land-Use Flexibility
After subsoil mulching, cleared land is ready for:- Farming and pasture restoration
- Residential and commercial development
- Wildlife habitat improvement
- Long-term erosion control
