Our Land Improvement and Land Clearing Services
Forestry Mulching & Brush Clearing
Forestry mulching is one of the most effective ways to transform overgrown or neglected properties. Instead of hauling debris off-site or burning brush piles, our advanced mulching machines shred vegetation right where it stands. This process returns organic material back to the soil, helping enrich it with nutrients while simultaneously leaving your land clearer, safer, and more accessible.
Eco-Friendly Solution
On-site mulching reduces the need for trucks, fuel, and landfill space, making it a more sustainable choice than conventional clearing methods.
Improves Soil Health
As the mulched debris decomposes, it supplies valuable nutrients that support healthier plant growth. This can mean faster recovery from logging and a flourishing forest eco-system.
Cost-Effective
Eliminating debris hauling saves time and money, allowing you to focus on planning your property’s future use—whether it’s a pasture, recreational area, or garden spot.
Forestry mulching is versatile enough for both large and small projects. Whether you have a thickly wooded section of land or just a few stubborn saplings and brush piles, our equipment and expertise ensure the job is done right.Â
HydroseedingÂ
Clearing land is just the first step toward creating a functional and beautiful outdoor space. After you’ve removed unwanted brush or invasive plants, hydroseeding can help you establish new vegetation quickly and efficiently. This proven method involves spraying a slurry of water, mulch, seed, and nutrients onto the prepared soil, ensuring uniform coverage in a fraction of the time it takes to plant seed by hand.Â
Fast, Even Coverage
Hydroseeding allows for quick application over large or hard-to-reach areas, resulting in more consistent growth and a healthier stand of grass.
Enhanced Erosion Control
The mulch component of the slurry protects seeds from harsh weather conditions, reduces runoff, and helps your new turf establish strong roots.
Cost-Effective & Eco-Friendly
Because seed and nutrients are delivered exactly where they’re needed, there’s minimal waste—and fewer resources used than with traditional sodding.
Versatile Applications
Whether you’re looking to restore a newly cleared field, stabilize a steep slope, or green up a construction site, hydroseeding is adaptable to various land uses.
By integrating hydroseeding into our land clearing services, RAM Forestry Mulching helps you move seamlessly from brush removal to a lush, thriving landscape.Â
Timber Stand Improvement (TSI)
If you’re looking to manage your wooded acreage for long-term health and productivity, our TSI services can help. We selectively remove low-value, diseased, or invasive trees while preserving valuable hardwoods and native plant life. By combining forestry mulching with selective thinning, we not only clear unwanted vegetation but also encourage a more robust ecosystem for years to come.
Stump Grinding & Logging Cleanup
Stumps left behind by logging or storm damage can pose hazards, attract pests, and create an eyesore on otherwise usable land. At RAM Forestry Mulching, we handle stump grinding quickly and thoroughly. We can reduce stumps down to mulch or below ground level, giving you a smoother, safer property.Â
Regain Usable Space
Removing stumps frees up valuable square footage for building sites, gardens, or gathering areas.
Enhance Safety
No more tripping hazards or hiding spots for insects and small animals.Â
Streamlined Cleanup
Post-logging debris, such as leftover branches and wood scraps, is mulched or removed, leaving your land in top condition.
By combining stump grinding with our other land clearing services, you enjoy a cohesive solution for reclaiming both small yards and large lots alike.Â
Invasive Plant Removal & Overgrown Field ClearingÂ
Maine’s forests and fields can quickly become overrun by aggressive species like Japanese knotweed, bittersweet, and other invasives. Overgrown fields may also harbor harmful weeds or brush that chokes out desirable plants. Our invasive plant removal process is designed to bring your property back to balance:Â
Targeted Mulching
We can focus on removing invasive plants while disturbing as little of the remaining native ecosystem as possible.
Sustainable Methods
By turning these plants into mulch, we help avoid spreading seeds to new locations and prevent the need for heavy chemical use.
Field Restoration
Overgrown or fallow fields are mulched, cleared, and prepared for new plantings, livestock, or simply a more polished look.
Our family’s long history in forestry taught us how to identify common invasive species and manage them in ways that protect Maine’s natural habitats. From the smallest brush patch to expansive fields, we’ll help you reclaim and restore your land.Â
Building Trails for Recreation & AccessÂ
One of the joys of living in Maine is exploring its natural beauty. With our trail building services, you can create pathways through forests, fields, or along scenic ridges, all while minimizing environmental impact. Our approach includes:Â
Careful Planning
We work with you to determine the best routes, avoiding sensitive habitats and maximizing views.
Precision Clearing
Using specialized mulching attachments, we shape trails without unnecessary excavation or heavy scarring of the terrain.
Long-Term Maintenance
We can also return for regular upkeep, mulching any regrowth so your trails remain passable and safe.
Whether you envision a walking path for your family, an ATV trail for weekend adventures, or a simple route that connects different parts of your property, our experience ensures you’ll get trails built to last.Â
Excavation ServicesÂ
Sometimes, land clearing projects require more than just mulching—you may need more extensive excavation work to prepare your property for its next stage. At RAM Forestry Mulching, we have both a standard-sized excavator for larger earthmoving projects and a smaller excavator for detail-oriented or delicate tasks. This flexibility lets us tailor our services to meet the full range of your property’s needs, from big construction jobs to precise landscaping work.Â
Site Preparation
Leveling and grading large or small areas for sheds, garages, barns, or other structures.
Foundation Excavation
Preparing the ground for new building foundations, while minimizing disruption to surrounding soil.
Field Restoration
Overgrown or fallow fields are mulched, cleared, and prepared for new plantings, livestock, or simply a more polished look.
Advanced Earthmoving & Grading
Creating gentle slopes, improving drainage, or reshaping your terrain to reduce erosion and enhance usability.
By combining our excavation capabilities with our other services, we can provide an all-in-one solution—clearing unwanted vegetation, then shaping and preparing the site exactly as you envision it. Â
