Why a Day Rate for Forestry Mulching Saves You Money in the Long Run
When you’re planning a land clearing project, it’s natural to focus on the quotes you receive. But as many landowners have learned the hard way, the cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest job. The true cost of clearing your land isn't just a number on an estimate—it's measured in time, unexpected fees, and the final condition of your property.
At Clear View Land Clearing, we believe in transparent pricing that reflects the total value you receive. Here’s why our performance-based day rate model for forestry mulching ultimately saves you significant money and hassle.
The Hidden Costs of "Cheaper" Methods Like Bulldozing
A low initial quote for bulldozing often hides a mountain of future expenses. Before you agree to that "cheaper" rate, ask about the costs they aren't telling you about:
Debris Disposal Costs: Bulldozing creates massive piles of trees, stumps, and brush. What happens to them? You either have to pay expensive hauling fees to truck it all away or deal with getting permits for a massive burn pile that can smolder for weeks.
Soil Damage and Repair Costs: Dozers scrape away and compact your valuable topsoil, leaving a scarred landscape that’s prone to erosion. You may have to spend thousands more on bringing in new topsoil and grading services just to get your land back to a usable state.
The Cost of Inefficiency: A smaller, less powerful machine might have a lower daily rate, but it will take many more days—and payroll hours—to complete the same job our specialized equipment can finish in a fraction of the time.
The All-Inclusive Value of Our Day Rate
Our daily rate isn't just for a machine; it's for a complete, start-to-finish solution. When you hire Clear View Land Clearing, our rate includes:
Clearing and Processing in One Pass: Our high-horsepower forestry mulchers cut, grind, and process vegetation where it stands.
Zero Debris to Haul: Everything is turned into a beneficial layer of mulch. There are no piles, no burning, and no hauling fees. Ever.
Soil Protection and Enrichment: The mulch layer protects your topsoil from erosion and returns vital nutrients to the ground, improving the health of your land.
Let's Do the Math: A Real-World Example
Imagine you have a 5-acre property with dense brush.
Competitor's Quote: $1,500/day. It takes them 4 days with a small skid steer. Total: $6,000. Then they add $2,000 in hauling fees to remove the debris. Your final bill is $8,000, and your land is torn up.
Clear View's Rate: Our high-production machine finishes the entire job in ONE day for $4,000.
You save $4,000 and weeks of headache. The choice is clear.
