Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing in South Jersey
Run by a local team that owns and works a Pinelands farm — we know this ground, pitch pine, scrub oak, greenbrier and all. Clean clearing, no burn piles, done right by neighbors.
A team that works this land, not a guy with a machine
We know this land because we work it every day
Most clearing outfits are heavy-equipment operators who happen to be cutting brush. We own and work a farm in the heart of the Pinelands, so we read a lot before we ever drop the mulcher head — which scrub oak and greenbrier will come roaring back, what's worth leaving standing, how the sandy soil and a cedar swamp edge will behave under tracks.
That's the difference between clearing land and clearing your land the right way. When you hire Pine Barrens Land & Forestry, you're hiring a local team that's going to be working this area for years.

Learn moreWhy forestry mulching
A cleaner way to clear ground
Traditional clearing means cutting, piling, hauling, and burning. Mulching does it in one pass and leaves the land better for it. Here's why it usually wins.
The machine
Sized right for the job
We run a compact tracked loader with a forestry mulcher head — a top-tier rig for residential and light commercial work. It's powerful enough to chew through Pinelands scrub, but compact enough to get through a gate and work tight lots without wrecking the place.
Low ground pressure from the tracks means we can work softer ground and leave fewer ruts. And it's properly sized — we don't show up with an undersized machine and then bill you for the extra days it takes to finish.

What folks say
Had about an acre and a half of overgrown scrub on the back of my property in Tabernacle — greenbrier, pine saplings, a lot of mountain laurel. Got three quotes; theirs was in the middle but they were the only one that walked the whole lot with me before pricing it. Showed up when they said, finished a day faster than the estimate, and didn't leave ruts even after the rain. Land actually looks usable now.
We hired them to clear about 4 acres of buildable land in Medford for our daughter's house. The Pinelands permit process was new to us and they helped us figure out what we actually needed before any work started. Crew was professional, machine didn't tear up the access road, and the mulch they left was thick enough that we didn't need to truck in topsoil for the lawn after. Would absolutely use them again.
We've used Pine Barrens for two clearing jobs on properties we manage in Burlington County. Both went the way they were quoted — no surprises, no upcharges mid-job, clean cleanup. They know the land and it shows. They're the first call we make now.
