Equipment

Advanced Skid Steer Tools for Tree Mulching

The quality of a tree mulching service depends on the tools used and the experience behind them. We operate heavy-duty skid steer mulchers designed for both residential and commercial land-clearing work in Calgary.

Our skid steer tree mulcher combines cutting precision with high power, allowing us to handle selective tree removal and dense vegetation efficiently. These machines grind trees, branches, and stumps into reusable mulch on-site, leaving the soil protected and enriched.

Our equipment allows for:

  • Precision control to target specific trees or sections.
  • Minimal ground disruption, preserving existing root systems.
  • Fast, clean operation suitable for tight or uneven Calgary terrain.
  • Sustainable results, turning cleared material into organic mulch that protects topsoil.
Process

How We Perform Tree Mulching Step by Step

We follow a detailed, field-tested process to ensure every project runs efficiently and meets client expectations.

On-Site Consultation

We begin with a full inspection of your property to assess terrain, tree density, and access points. This helps us plan the safest and most effective approach for your land.

Selective Mulching Plan

Based on your needs, whether it’s thinning, removing dead trees, or clearing specific sections, we mark the trees to be mulched while protecting the rest of your vegetation.

Precision Mulching Execution

Using our skid steer mulcher, we grind unwanted trees and brush down to mulch at ground level. This process opens visibility, improves site access, and eliminates debris instantly.

Final Review and Cleanup

Once complete, we level the area and confirm the results with you. The property is left clean, safe, and immediately ready for its next purpose, no hauling or cleanup required.

Benefits

Benefits of Our Tree Mulching Services

1. Environmentally Friendly Approach

All vegetation is processed on-site, returning organic material to the ground. The resulting mulch helps retain moisture and prevents soil erosion, critical for Calgary’s dry and windy climate.

2. Cost-Effective Land Management

Since there’s no hauling, dumping, or burning, tree mulching services typically cost less than traditional clearing. One machine handles cutting, grinding, and disposal in a single step.

3. Cleaner and Faster Results

With our skid steer forestry mulchers, there’s no leftover debris or brush piles. The area looks tidy immediately after the job is done and is ready for seeding, fencing, or construction.

4. Protects Healthy Trees

Tree mulching is selective, we remove only what you need gone. This method preserves surrounding vegetation and root systems, preventing unnecessary damage to your property.

5. Fire Mitigation and Safety

By removing dead or overcrowded trees, we reduce fuel sources that increase wildfire risk, an important benefit for properties on Calgary’s outskirts and rural zones.

FAQs About Tree Mulching

To mulch around trees, spread mulch evenly in a 2–3-inch layer around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk. This protects roots and retains soil moisture without suffocating the tree.

Apply mulch in a flat layer rather than a mound. Avoid piling mulch against the bark, as this can trap moisture and cause rot. Proper mulching improves soil health and tree stability.

Prices depend on tree density, property size, and terrain. Most projects are quoted after an on-site visit. Tree mulching generally costs less than manual clearing since it’s a single-step, all-inclusive process.

“Cheap” tree mulching often sacrifices quality or equipment safety. It’s better to hire a certified tree mulcher company like New West Contracting, where efficiency and safety ensure long-term savings and reliable results.
