Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mastication?
Mastication, also referred to as chipping, grinding, or mulching, encompasses the on-site chipping of entire trees, brush, or vines, including roots. Our equipment streamlines this process by seamlessly cutting, grinding, and clearing unwanted vegetation from your property in a single step. The result is a fine mulch that is not only nutrient-rich but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of your land, making it both operational and visually pleasing.
By utilizing Carbide Blades instead of conventional steel, we achieve unparalleled efficiency in cutting, grinding, and land clearance, ensuring optimal outcomes for our clients.
What is Orchard Recycling?
Orchard Recycling involves the on-site chipping and sub-soiling of entire trees or vines, including roots, usually performed at the conclusion of their agronomic life cycle and before replanting. This process has been shown to significantly enhance productivity in subsequent replanted orchards and soils. Additionally, it contributes to carbon sequestration, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves soil structure, and enhances water use efficiency, resulting in sustainable agricultural practices with positive environmental impacts.
What is On-Site Grinding & Chipping?
Unlike other grinding companies that need to transfer your wood chips to a tub or horizontal grinder OR haul the wood chips completely offsite, our company offers a more streamlined solution. Our masticators are mobile, allowing us to grind the woody material on-site while simultaneously spreading the wood chips. To see this in action, watch the video below of our masticator:
