A short recording answers first. Press 1 and you're put through.
We read the 1-to-3-star Google reviews of 88 Arkansas clearing and tree companies, and 172 of them were about the work itself. Complaints about mulched brush growing back turn up in landowner forums instead. Each answer below is a promise the person running your job carries out.
29 of 172 reviews: the crew left the mess behind
Your written quote says what happens to every bit of cut material: mulched in place, piled, or hauled away.
11 of 172 reviews: stumps left that the owner expected gone
Your quote says how the stumps will be left (ground level, below grade, or removed) and about how thick the mulch will be. We check it with you at the walkthrough.
17 of 172 reviews: the work wasn't what was agreed
Before the machine starts, we walk and flag the boundaries and anything you want saved, or send you photos of them.
Landowner forums, outside the 172: brush that sprouted back after mulching
Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave and what it will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.
61 of 172 reviews: the crew stopped answering
Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job.
12 of 172 reviews: the price changed with nothing in writing
You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. The price changes only if you approve the change in writing first.
What Arkansas landowners ask Google before they hire a mulcher. Each answer starts with the answer.
Mulched ground is covered in wood mulch, not bare dirt ready for seed, and the roots stay in the soil. K-State Research and Extension notes that hedge and honey locust sprout back from below ground. Before we quote, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you what the ground will look like the day we leave.
Yes. Grass grows up through the mulch, and the ground can then be kept open by mowing. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service writes on your quote about how thick the mulch will be, and we check it with you at the walkthrough.
Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees where they stand and leaves the mulch on the soil. Land clearing takes trees, brush, and stumps off and leaves open ground, with the cut material mulched, piled, or hauled away. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service does both, and your written quote lists every charge.
Keep it mowed and deal with sprouts early. Eastern redcedar cut below its lowest green branch won't sprout back, K-State Research and Extension says, while hardwoods such as honey locust can. Before we quote, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you what the ground will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.
Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service is fully licensed and insured. We carry liability insurance and send the certificate on request.
We have the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job. The photos on this page are our own: mulcher heads on tracked loaders, and a mulching head on an excavator for steep ground. The estimate is free, and our lines are open 24/7.
Crews work statewide from three Google listings: Hindsville, Greenbrier, and Hot Springs. The mulcher comes to your land.
Six steps, in order, and what you see at each one.
Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job. If we can't take your job, we say so on the first call.
You show us what you want mulched and what stays standing. That walk is what your quote is written from.
You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. Your quote comes with a start week.
We call the day before, and again when the crew pulls in.
If the ground is too wet to work without rutting, we tell you and reschedule. Any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.
We walk the site with you before we call the job done. Final payment is due after the walkthrough. Every payment gets a receipt.
Some call it forestry mowing, some call it forest clearing or brush mulching. These are the five kinds of Arkansas ground we mulch.
Wood clearing that grinds the brush and saplings under pines or hardwoods and leaves the timber standing. On hunting land, the same work opens shooting lanes and trails.
Scrub clearing on grazing ground, with the cedars and brush ground into mulch where they stood. For cedar thickets and fence rows on their own, see brush removal.
A lot opened up for a house or a cabin, with the trees you choose left standing. A building pad then needs site prep and dirt work.
Brush cut back along fence rows, trails, and field edges so a truck or a mower gets through.
Brush on slopes mulched with a mulching head on an excavator, as in this photo, with the pines you want kept left standing.
Each one leaves your land looking different. Here's what each takes off and what it leaves behind. Our guide to forestry mulching, land clearing, and brush hogging walks through choosing one.
Forestry mulching leaves a layer of ground wood over soil that stays in place, not bare dirt ready for seed. Three things decide how your ground looks.
If we damage anything (a fence, a gate, a line, a culvert), we tell you before we leave that day, and the fix goes in writing.
If we have to leave before the job is finished, you get the return date before the crew leaves.
Two of our five-star Google reviews are about mulching jobs, one around Conway and one near Fayetteville.
We had hired them to do some forestry mulching around Conway. They did a superb job and the crew completed the job on time. Thank you!
Mark and his team are outstanding! They were quick to get back with us, and did an excellent job. We had them clear some land near Fayetteville by mulching. We are so happy with the job!
A great job they did on my farm.

What landowners ask about the mulcher itself, the weather, and permits.
Read the guidesIt depends on how thick the brush is and how big the trees are, so we don't guess at hours over the phone. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service walks the land first, and your written quote comes with a start week. If the weather moves it, we call you.
Brush, cedars, and small trees are mulcher work, and the largest size depends on the machine and its mulching head. Bigger timber is a tree removal job. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service has the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job, so one crew handles both.
It depends on the ground, not the forecast. If the ground is too wet to work without rutting, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you and reschedules. Any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.
Sometimes. Arkansas's construction stormwater permit, ARR150000, covers construction that disturbs 1 acre or more, and fill placed in a wetland can need a federal Section 404 permit. On the first visit, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you which Arkansas rules may touch your job and who handles each.
