Signature Service

Forestry Mulching

Forestry mulching is the fastest, cleanest, and most environmentally responsible land clearing and vegetation management method available. Using our Takeuchi TL12R2 compact track loader fitted with a professional forestry mulching head, we clear trees, brush, stumps, and invasive vegetation in a single pass โ€” grinding everything into fine mulch that stays on the ground. It's sometimes called brush grinding or brush cutting, but the result is far superior to a tractor-based brush hog or rotary cutter.

No burning means no smoke, no ash, no burn ban compliance issues. No hauling means no dump fees, no heavy truck traffic on your property. The resulting mulch layer suppresses weeds, retains moisture, prevents erosion, and slowly returns organic matter to your soil.

Best For:

  • Pasture reclamation and pasture restoration from cedar and invasive brush
  • New home site and building pad preparation (site prep)
  • Rural acreage and woodland management
  • Fence line and right-of-way clearing
  • Hunting land clearing and hunting access lane creation
  • Firebreak clearing and fire lane creation
  • Properties with active burn bans
  • Erosion-sensitive slopes and creek buffers

Site Preparation

Land Clearing

Full-service land clearing removes trees, stumps, brush, and all existing vegetation to prepare your property for construction, agriculture, or recreation. We handle site preparation projects from small residential lots to hundreds of acres with the same professional approach โ€” thicket clearing, wooded lot clearing, overgrowth clearing, you name it.

Our clearing process is systematic and thorough. We assess your property's specific needs, identify any protection zones or sensitive areas, and execute with precision. When we're done, you have land that's ready for whatever comes next โ€” grading, foundation work, seeding, fencing, or development.

  • Residential and commercial building site preparation (site prep)
  • Agricultural land conversion โ€” brush to productive pasture
  • Rural property improvement and pasture reclamation
  • Pond and lake site preparation
  • Driveway and road access clearing
  • Large-scale acreage clearing for development

Commercial & Infrastructure

Right-of-Way Clearing

Right-of-way clearing demands precision, safety compliance, and an operator who understands the stakes. Redline Forestry's CSP certification and commercial insurance make us the qualified choice for professional ROW work โ€” whether you're a utility company, pipeline operator, municipality, or private landowner.

Our compact track loader excels in ROW environments on moderate to rolling terrain: it maintains consistent clearing widths and works efficiently in narrow corridors without damaging the surrounding landscape. Terrain is assessed before every job commitment.

  • Electric utility and power line ROW clearing
  • Transmission and distribution corridor maintenance
  • Pipeline ROW clearing and maintenance
  • Road right-of-way and highway corridor clearing
  • Fence line clearing and maintenance
  • Private easement clearing

Why CSP Certification Matters for ROW Work

Most utility and pipeline companies require contractor safety pre-qualification. Our Certified Safety Professional designation โ€” combined with CRM and emergency medical credentials โ€” means we can often skip the lengthy approval process that holds up other contractors.

  • CSP meets OSHA 30 and beyond
  • CRM ensures proper liability management
  • Documentation-ready for PEC, ISNetworld, Avetta
  • Emergency medical response on every job
Vegetation Management

Brush Removal & Invasive Species Clearing

From thorny briars to opportunistic scrub trees, overgrown brush and invasive undergrowth quickly takes over productive land. Our mulching equipment handles brush cutting, brush grinding, and small tree removal efficiently โ€” leaving a clean finish whether you want selective thicket clearing or complete brush removal across an entire property. If you've been searching for brush hogging in Oklahoma, forestry mulching delivers a cleaner, more thorough result for most jobs.

  • Selective or complete brush removal and undergrowth clearing
  • Invasive species removal โ€” cedar, locust, sumac, osage orange
  • Trail and ATV path clearing
  • Waterway buffer vegetation management
  • Firebreak clearing and fire lane creation
  • Hunting land clearing and hunting access lanes
  • Fence line restoration
Oklahoma's #1 Land Problem

Cedar Clearing & Eradication

Eastern red cedar is the most economically damaging invasive species in Oklahoma. Each mature cedar tree consumes 30โ€“40 gallons of water per day โ€” water your grasses desperately need. Cedar-choked pastures can lose 70โ€“90% of their forage productivity within a decade of cedar encroachment.

Redline Forestry's forestry mulching head makes efficient work of cedar trees up to 8" in diameter. We make every effort to address stumps and minimize trip hazards, and we will be upfront about what to expect before we start. We've helped ranchers across eastern and central Oklahoma reclaim pastures they thought were lost permanently.

  • Complete cedar eradication and mulching
  • Pasture reclamation and forage restoration
  • Water conservation through cedar removal
  • Quail and native wildlife habitat improvement
  • Native grass and wildflower restoration support

Drum Mulching (Primary) & Disk Options

Drum Mulching & Disk Mulching

Redline Forestry primarily uses drum mulching โ€” it produces the finest finish and is the right choice for most projects. For large-scale agricultural clearing where production speed is the priority, disk mulching is also available. Each has distinct advantages depending on acreage size, desired finish quality, and budget.

Drum mulching uses a high-speed rotating drum with carbide teeth to grind vegetation into fine mulch. It produces the cleanest finish โ€” ideal for residential lots, visible properties, and jobs where appearance and soil health matter. Slightly slower than disk on large acreage, but the result is a fine, even mulch layer that breaks down quickly.

Disk mulching uses a rotating disk head that processes vegetation faster. It produces larger debris chunks that take longer to break down, but covers more ground per hour. Best suited for large-scale pasture reclamation, ROW maintenance, and agricultural projects where speed matters more than finish quality โ€” and at a slightly lower cost per acre.

Best For:

  • Large acreage pasture reclamation (50+ acres)
  • Agricultural land clearing where speed is the priority
  • ROW maintenance on wide corridors
  • Projects where debris size is not a concern
  • Budget-conscious large-scale clearing

Disk vs. Drum Mulching

  • Drum mulching: Finer debris, cleaner finish, better for residential and visible properties โ€” slightly higher cost
  • Disk mulching: Faster production, larger debris, ideal for large agricultural projects โ€” slightly lower cost

Limited Service

Selective Tree Felling

While forestry mulching handles the vast majority of our clearing work โ€” including trees up to 8 inches in diameter โ€” there are situations where larger trees need to be felled before mulching begins. We offer selective tree felling as a complementary service on a limited basis.

We want to be straightforward with you: our tree felling service is reserved for trees that are away from structures, utilities, and other hazards where a controlled fall can be executed safely. We do not offer hazard tree removal, removal near structures, or jobs requiring aerial rigging work. If your project needs that level of specialized tree service, we'll tell you upfront and recommend the right professional for that portion of the work.

What we do offer: felling large trees in open areas โ€” pastures, clearings, and sites where there's ample room to work safely โ€” prior to mulching the remaining vegetation. This allows us to handle projects with large-diameter timber that exceeds the mulcher's capacity, then process everything else in a single mulching pass.

When Tree Felling Makes Sense:

  • Large trees (12"+ diameter) in open pastures or fields
  • Pre-clearing large timber before mulching operations
  • Isolated trees in accessible, open terrain
  • Projects where customer wants select trees removed from a mulching area

We Do Not Offer:

  • Hazard tree removal near structures, power lines, or fences
  • Aerial work or rigging
  • Tree removal requiring specialty equipment we don't operate

We'd rather be honest about what we're good at than take on a job that could go wrong. That's the Redline Forestry standard.

Farmers & Ranchers

Cedar encroachment and invasive brush are costing Oklahoma ranchers millions in lost forage production every year. A single cedar tree drinks 30โ€“40 gallons of water daily โ€” water your grass needs. When cedar covers 50% of a pasture, forage production drops by 70% or more. Pasture restoration starts with getting the cedar and invasive vegetation out โ€” completely.

Redline Forestry specializes in pasture reclamation for working ranches and farms. We understand that your operation depends on getting this right โ€” and we deliver results that show up in your cattle counts. Our forestry mulching head grinds stumps flush, eliminating regrowth that burning and conventional brush hogging leave behind.

  • Cedar eradication and pasture reclamation
  • Invasive species removal โ€” cedar, locust, sumac
  • Fence line clearing for posts, wire, and access
  • Pond clearing and water feature access
  • Brush removal for hay meadows and crop fields
  • Large-acreage pricing for working ranches
  • NRCS and EQIP cost-share compatible work
