Our Service
Forestry Mulching Service
At N&D Tree & Crane Services, we provide expert forestry mulching services. We provide these to efficiently meet your land clearing and vegetation management goals in the Parker area. Our service revolves around the use of advanced, powerful machinery equipped with a specialized mulching head. This single piece of equipment is operated by our skilled and experienced technicians. It can selectively cut down and simultaneously shred standing trees, brush, and undergrowth. The material is ground into a coarse mulch and distributed evenly across the ground incorporated into the upper several inches of soil. This is all done in one continuous motion. This process is exceptionally effective for clearing land quickly and preparing sites for future use.
Our forestry mulching process is carefully planned and executed. Before starting, our team will walk the property with you. We will clearly define the project boundaries and identify any sensitive areas or valuable trees that need to be protected. Our operators are experts at maneuvering the machinery with precision. This allows us to create clean lines for fences, trails, or building sites. We can adjust the texture of the mulch by controlling the processing time. This creates a finer or coarser material depending on your specific needs and objectives. We work methodically and safely. We transform dense, unusable land into a clean, mulched landscape ready for its next purpose. The immediate, dramatic transformation of the property is a key benefit our clients appreciate.
This service is an excellent tool for a wide variety of land management applications. Forestry mulching is one of the most effective methods for creating defensible space for wildfire mitigation. We can quickly reduce the density of flammable brush and small trees. We grind them into a mulch layer that holds moisture and is less likely to carry fire. It is also ideal for right of way clearing for roads and utilities. It is also useful for reclaiming overgrown pasture land for livestock. And it is useful for creating recreational trails for hiking or riding. We also use forestry mulching for habitat restoration projects. In these projects, the removal of invasive species and the creation of a natural mulch layer can encourage the growth of native plants and grasses.
The ecological benefits of forestry mulching are significant. Unlike traditional land clearing methods that may involve bulldozing and scraping, forestry mulching causes minimal soil disturbance. The mulching machine travels on tracks or low pressure tires. This reduces soil compaction. The root systems of the cleared vegetation are left in the ground to decompose naturally. This helps to stabilize the soil. The layer of mulch created by the process acts as a natural erosion control blanket. It protects the soil from wind and water. This mulch layer also helps to conserve soil moisture by reducing evaporation. It also slowly releases organic matter and nutrients back into the soil as it decomposes over time. This improves its long term health and fertility.
Choosing N&D Tree & Crane Services for your forestry mulching project ensures you receive professional, high quality results. Our operators are not just machine drivers. They are trained technicians who understand how to achieve specific land management objectives. We are a fully insured company. This provides you with complete peace of mind during the operation. We invest in modern, well maintained equipment to ensure reliability and efficiency. This minimizes downtime and completes your project on schedule. Our commitment to safety and customer satisfaction guides every aspect of our work. This is from the initial consultation to the final pass of the mulcher. We take pride in delivering a superior finish.
Forestry mulching is also a cost effective solution for many projects. It is a single step process performed by one machine. Therefore, it often requires less labor and time compared to traditional methods. Traditional methods involve multiple machines and crews for cutting, hauling, and disposing of debris. By eliminating the need for hauling or burning, you save on transportation and disposal fees. You also avoid the complexities of obtaining burn permits. The speed and efficiency of our mulching service means your land is usable much faster. We provide clear, competitive pricing for our services. We offer excellent value for a transformative land management solution.
After the forestry mulching is complete, the land is immediately ready for a variety of uses. The mulch layer will naturally decompose over a few years, continually enriching the soil. You can walk or drive over the mulched surface right away. It provides a stable base for creating trails. The area can be seeded with native grasses or prepared for other types of planting. We can provide guidance on the best next steps for your property. This will be based on your long term goals. Whether your aim is wildfire safety, agricultural improvement, or recreational access, our forestry mulching service provides a powerful and effective first step. It is a first step in achieving your vision for your Parker property.

Incredibly Professional and Thorough Arborist Services I hired N&D for an expert arborist report related to a neighbor’s hazardous tree, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The report, completed by Logan, was exceptionally well-documented, clearly written, and grounded in professional expertise—no fluff or bias, just a clear and honest assessment based on facts and observation. Communication was smooth, turnaround was quick, and the invoice was fair and easy to pay online. I appreciated the professionalism from start to finish and will definitely be using them again for a follow-up consultation at another property. Highly recommended for anyone needing a knowledgeable, reliable, and objective arborist. — Anna Denver, CO

We recently had N&D come out to perform work across 6.5 acres and I could not be happier with the results. Their professionalism, quality of work, and overall knowledge and honesty was more than we expected. Nik went above and beyond to ensure we were happy customers. I would highly recommend N&D to anyone and will personally use them again.

Could not be happier with the work that Nik and his crew completed at our property. They were efficient and professional and did an amazing job. 100% would recommend them and will definitely use again.

While we haven't done business with ND tree yet, I was riding my bicycle today and encountered one of their drivers. Extremely patient and courteous, waited the extra 5 seconds for me to get to a safe spot to pass me. I very much appreciate sharing the road with such a conscientious individual!

I recently hired N&D Tree & Crane Service to remove a 100-year-old silver maple from my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, they were prompt, efficient, and extremely skilled. The team used a crane to safely and carefully remove the tree, which was no small task. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. The crew was also polite and respectful, taking great care to ensure my property was left in excellent condition after the job was done. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for expert tree removal services. They exceeded my expectations in every way!

We highly recommend N&D Tree & Crane services! We’ve had the same team out a few times in the past 10 years to manage all of our big trees and they are very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Plus, they seem to know everything about trees. Our neighbors turned us onto these guys years ago and we’ve consistently had great advice from N&D and we won’t use anyone else.

They did a great job removing several trees for us...some of the trees were in precarious places (leaning on our house). They were thorough and came back to grind a stump even more so it would be flush with our grass. Thanks!

Nik and his crew were excellent. What appeared to us as a very challenging removal of a large tree. These guys made it look easy. We highly recommend them for large tree removal with challenging circumstances. Thank you - well done guys!

We were impacted by the tornado that ripped through Highlands Ranch, CO on 6/22/2023. Our tree was nearly blown down onto our house, but instead was leaning into the house precariously. I was given a recommendation from our normal tree service to call Nik. I spoke with him at 6pm on 6/22 and he was able to get his crane and his crew out to our place just after 8am today (6/23). The tree was out and they were off to the next job in just a few hours. They were personable, professional, knowledgeable, skilled, efficient, and affordable. My family can sleep soundly tonight knowing we and our house are out of danger. We cannot thank Nik and his crew enough!

Nik, Mike and Stephan did a great job for us. We needed a tree removed from our backyard that was over 50 ft tall. They were very knowledgeable and efficient, while also protecting our property. It was incredible to see how they used all their trucks, crane and tools to safely remove our tree. We would highly recommend N&D Tree Services

Nick and his crew arrived at my remote location on time and set immediately to work clearing old grow trees and brush to provide fire mitigation boundaries around the cabin. A relief to have this work completed.

I've used N&D Tree Service for a number of years and they are always top notch. I totally recommend their services.

We've had N&D out to our 40 acre farm in rural Colorado three times over the last couple of years as we were most concerned about fire mitigation. The company has great crews and the heavy equipment to do the job. They've all been on time and work very quickly. The majority of the trees we've had taken down have been chipped, but they neatly cut up (stove length) the trees we wanted to save for our stove. All of the crew are very skilled and practice good safety methods. We highly recommend them.

Nik and his team are great. I used them twice for tree removal and tree trimming. Very professional and well priced.

Nik and his team were fantastic. I got several quotes from different companies and Nik and his crew were priced the best. On the day of the job they showed up on time, walked the trees with me to confirm what was being done and got to work. They trimmed a 40ft tree and removed another that was next to our house and leaning towards the house. They did a great job and were quick as well. They also chipped a bunch of extra branches we had collected from around our property for a minimal fee. I would use them again in a heartbeat and have referred them several time since using them.

I used N&D to trim and remove dead trees. The crew did a great job and cleaned up the yard throughly. My neighbor even asked them to trim some of her trees which they did the following day.

Nik and his crew are always great. I'll be using him in the future no doubt !

NandD tree was easy to work with and they did a great job ! Highly suggest !

Been using Nik and his services for years. Straight up honest guy. Shows up on time, transparent on pricing, and doesn’t leave till the jobs done right.

N&D has help me out tremendously on numerous jobs here in CO. They are responsive, always deliver fair bids, and their work is exceptional. I highly recommend N&D for any tree services.

We have used N&D for years and have been nothing but completely impressed. We will continue to use for years into the future!

I’ve known N&D Tree Service of Parker, CO from my experience with them through my former HOA in Gambel Oaks, SE of Parker. They prices are reasonable, their personnel are professional and safety conscious, they are quick, efficient and clean up when they are done. I just had them remove a 60’ Linden tree in my back yard in Lakewood. With their boom truck, it was all done from the street in front of the house. I heartily endorse them for the most challenging backyard tree removals.

I'm a property manager and have used Nik and his crew several times for various rental properties tree/limb removals. Everything from routine limb removal all the way to dead trees interwoven with power lines and everything in-between. Nik saved me when another tree removal company started work on a project and then disappeared mid-job when they realized it was more complicated than they thought. They do excellent work, take care to not damage property and clean up after the work is completed. Amazing company to work with! I Highly recommend N&D and their team!

The crew came to my house initially to remove a large portion of scrub oak. They did an excellent job, so much so, that I immediately hired them to do additional work planting trees. A month later, they came out and planted several trees in very difficult conditions and were extremely professional. All the work is outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any size job.

They came out quick to give me and my neighbor a quote. Nik is very professional and clearly knows what he is doing. We got the quote the next day and scheduled the service. (Removal of 3 aspens and 1 maple.). They showed up on time the day we agreed to and got all the trees out with no issues. They took extra time to really clean everything up. We were impressed and would use them again.

I’m an ISA Certified Arborist, so I’m VERY picky about who I hire to do tree work. The N&D team have come through for us now on more than one occasion, performing flawless execution of the removal of large trees. They’ve had professional demeanor, professional equipment and an absolute emphasis on safety. As many stars as I’m allowed to, I’ll give them!

We at Bartlett Tree Experts love working with Nik. He is always reliable, responsive, professional, and delivers excellent service. We highly recommend him.

I have used N&D Tree several times. I find them to be very professional and perform quality work. The price is very reasonable. I will be using them again later this fall.

Nik at N&D Tree is a great guy and he runs a professional service. As another professional in the tree industry, I can vouch for his skills, and I enjoy working on projects with Nik and his crew. The capabilities of his equipment are top notch, and I’m happy to recommend N&D Tree to anyone looking for tree work or a crane/ operator.

The absolute best and most professional company I have ever dealt with. When it comes to down to trees I will never use anyone else11

This company was great to work with. We live in the Pinery and have used them several times. Nick was extremely knowledgeable. I recommend them to anyone who asks!

I’ve used N&D twice to remove large trees , including one that was leaning in towards my deck and roof . Nik was considerate of my time and the urgency of getting this tree removed before it caused any damage. My property was neat and clean with the tree gone when I got home that night. I highly recommend Nik and his crew!

I am a very small tree company, and hired Nik to bring out his crane. Nik went out of his way to make sure everything was done safely and professionally. He has a very team-oriented mentality, and communicates well. He cares a lot about quality and efficiency, and has the equipment to get the job done. I cannot say enough good things about him and how he represents his company. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any tree care needs someone might have!

I was super impressed! Such a nice and polite crew. They worked efficiently and got the job done quickly. Cleaned up after themselves and even helped my neighbor with her tree while they were here. Will definitely be using them again!

N&D are one of the best companies to work with in the metro area! They're responsive, reliable and honest at every turn. Nik and his crew removed a massive cottonwood from the back of our house and did so with absolute precision. I would and do recommend them to everyone I know.

Nik and his crew are true professionals and a very well equipped tree service. Easily able to do jobs others can’t. He also works hard to participate in an urban tree recycling program to make sure a lot of the trees he removes are turned into lumber and furniture.

Most Common Forestry Mulching Questions
Forestry mulching is a powerful and efficient land clearing method, but many Parker landowners are unfamiliar with the process. Understanding how it works and what it can achieve is key to realizing its potential for your property. Our team is here to answer your most common questions.
Forestry mulching is a modern, single step land clearing process. It uses a specialized machine to cut down, grind up, and process unwanted vegetation like trees and brush. The machine is typically a compact track loader or similar vehicle. It is equipped with a large, powerful rotary mulching head. This head features a spinning drum with very durable teeth. It shreds standing vegetation on contact. As the machine moves through an area, it effectively erases overgrown brush and small to medium sized trees. It instantly transforms them into a layer of natural, woody mulch that is left evenly spread on the ground.
The key advantage of this process is its efficiency and low impact. Unlike traditional clearing methods that might involve multiple steps like cutting, piling, and then either burning or hauling away the debris, forestry mulching does everything at once. There are no brush piles left behind. There is no need for hauling or burning. The process is selective. Our skilled operators can maneuver the machine to remove specific trees and brush. They can do this while leaving desirable, mature trees and other vegetation completely untouched. It is a fast and effective way to manage vegetation and reclaim overgrown land.
At N&D Tree & Crane Services, we use state of the art equipment to provide this service to landowners in the Parker area. Our mulching service is designed to be a fast, cost effective, and environmentally friendly solution. It is a solution for a wide range of land management challenges. It immediately improves the safety, accessibility, and usability of your property. It does this by turning dense, impassable areas into a clean, mulched, and manageable landscape. The visual transformation after a forestry mulching project is often dramatic and immediate.
Forestry mulching is an incredibly versatile service. It has a wide range of applications that are very relevant for property owners in the Parker area. One of its most important uses is for wildfire mitigation and the creation of defensible space. We can use our mulchers to quickly and efficiently thin out dense stands of trees. We can also clear flammable underbrush. We grind it all into a moisture retaining mulch layer. This action significantly reduces hazardous fuel loads. It also helps protect homes and property from the threat of wildfire.
It is one of the most effective tools for large scale fuel reduction. Land clearing for various purposes is another primary use. This can include clearing a site for a new home or outbuilding.It can also include reclaiming overgrown pastures for agricultural use. Or creating food plots to attract wildlife. Or clearing rights of way for utility lines, roads, and fences. Because the process is low impact and does not disturb the soil’s top layer, it is an excellent way to prepare a site. It does so without causing significant erosion problems.
The remaining mulch layer can then serve as a base for future activities. Or it can be left to decompose and enrich the soil. Additionally, forestry mulching is ideal for trail creation and maintenance. We can easily cut paths for hiking, horseback riding, or ATVs through dense woods or brushy areas. We leave a clean, stable, and natural looking trail surface behind. It is also used for habitat restoration projects. In these projects, the selective removal of invasive or non native species can open up the land. It allows desirable native plants and grasses to re-establish themselves. Whatever your land management goal, forestry mulching is likely a powerful and efficient tool to help you achieve it.
Forestry mulching provides several significant benefits to the soil. This makes it a much more environmentally friendly land clearing method compared to traditional techniques. The most immediate benefit comes from the layer of mulch that is created and left on site. This mulch layer acts as a protective blanket over the soil surface. It helps to cushion the impact of rain. This dramatically reduces soil erosion caused by water runoff. It also shields the soil from wind, preventing valuable topsoil from blowing away. This is especially important on slopes or in areas with sensitive soils.
The mulch layer also plays a crucial role in improving soil moisture.The mulch in the soil absorbs moisture, holding on to it longer and reducing evaporative water loss. This means more water remains in the soil. It is then available for the roots of desirable plants and the remaining trees. This enhanced moisture retention can be a major advantage in our often dry Colorado climate. It helps to make the entire landscape more resilient to drought. It creates a more favorable microclimate for new growth.
Over the long term, as the woody mulch slowly decomposes, it releases a steady supply of organic matter and essential nutrients back into the soil. This natural process helps to build healthier, more fertile topsoil over time. Unlike methods that scrape the ground bare, forestry mulching leaves the soil structure intact. It also actively enriches it. This focus on soil health is a key ecological advantage of the service we provide at N&D Tree & Crane Services. It leads to a more productive and sustainable landscape for years to come.
For many applications in the Parker area, forestry mulching is a superior alternative to traditional land clearing methods. This is for several key reasons. First, it is significantly more efficient. A single machine performs the cutting, grinding, and processing in one pass. This eliminates the need for multiple pieces of equipment and different crews for cutting, skidding, piling, and hauling. This often makes forestry mulching faster and more cost effective. It saves the landowner both time and money. The land is usable immediately after our machine is finished.
There are no large, unsightly brush piles left behind.
Second, it is much more environmentally friendly. Traditional clearing with bulldozers can cause severe soil disturbance, compaction, and erosion. Forestry mulching, in contrast, has a very low ground impact. It preserves the vital topsoil layer and its structure. By leaving a protective mulch layer, it actively prevents erosion and improves soil health over time. Furthermore, because the material is processed on site, it eliminates the need for hauling debris to a landfill. It also avoids the air pollution associated with burning brush piles. This makes it a cleaner, greener choice.
Third, forestry mulching is highly selective. Our skilled operators can easily maneuver around valuable, mature trees and other landscape features you want to preserve. This allows for a more thoughtful and strategic approach to land management. This is true whether the goal is creating a park like forest setting or a winding recreational trail. While traditional methods may be necessary for certain types of large scale construction site preparation, forestry mulching offers a smarter, more efficient, and ecologically sound solution. This is for most land stewardship, fire mitigation, and habitat restoration projects.
After our forestry mulching service is complete, the resulting layer of shredded woody material is left evenly distributed across the ground of the project area. This is a key and intentional part of the process. The mulch is not hauled away. Instead, it is left on site to provide numerous environmental benefits to your Parker property. This layer immediately begins its work of protecting the soil from erosion. It also suppresses the germination of new weeds. And it conserves precious soil moisture by acting as a natural blanket. The appearance of the site is clean and uniform.
It does not have the large, hazardous brush piles that result from other clearing methods. Over time, this organic mulch layer will naturally decompose. As it breaks down, it slowly releases valuable nutrients and organic matter back into the soil. It gradually improves its fertility and structure. The rate of decomposition depends on factors like the type of wood, the size of the mulch pieces, and local moisture levels. However, typically within a few years, the mulch will begin to break down and become incorporated into the soil ecosystem. This process mimics the natural nutrient cycling that occurs on a healthy forest floor.
You are essentially feeding the soil with the resources that were already on your property. The mulched area is usable almost immediately. You can walk, drive, or ride over the surface. It is often much smoother and more stable than it was before clearing. If your goal is to establish new vegetation, such as native grasses, the mulch layer can provide an excellent seedbed. It protects the seeds and helps them retain the moisture needed for germination. Our team at N&D Tree & Crane Services can advise you on the best way to manage your newly mulched areas. This will help you achieve your specific long term land use goals.
Yes, our team at N&D Tree & Crane Services is equipped and experienced in performing forestry mulching on sloped and uneven terrain. We utilize modern, powerful mulching machines that are mounted on compact track loaders. These tracked vehicles offer superior stability, traction, and lower ground pressure compared to wheeled machines. This allows our skilled operators to safely and effectively navigate slopes that would be inaccessible or unsafe for other types of equipment. Our ability to work on varied topography is a key advantage for many properties in the foothills around Parker.
Safety is our absolute top priority when working on any terrain. This is especially true on slopes. Our operators are highly trained in the specific techniques required for safely maneuvering on inclines. They understand how to properly ascend, descend, and traverse slopes to maintain the machine’s stability at all times. We conduct a thorough assessment of the site before beginning work. We identify any areas that may be too steep or unstable for the machine. In these very rare instances, we can utilize our skilled climbing hand crews to manually clear vegetation from those specific spots.
Performing forestry mulching on slopes is also highly beneficial from an erosion control standpoint. The mulch layer that our machines create is one of the most effective methods for stabilizing soil on a hillside. It immediately protects the bare ground from the erosive force of rainfall. It slows down water runoff and allows more of it to soak into the ground. This makes forestry mulching a much better choice for sloped areas than traditional clearing methods. Traditional methods can leave the soil exposed and highly vulnerable to erosion. Our service not only clears the vegetation but also protects the land itself.
Preparing your property for our forestry mulching service is typically a straightforward process. The most important step for you, the landowner, is to clearly identify and mark your property boundaries. This ensures our operators stay precisely within the designated work area. It is also extremely important to identify and clearly mark any hazards or obstacles. These might be hidden by the overgrown vegetation. This could include things like old wells, septic tank lids, large rocks, abandoned fence wire, or any other debris. These could damage our equipment or create a safety issue.
Before our crew arrives, we ask that you walk the property and remove any non organic materials from the area to be mulched. Examples are trash, metal, or plastic items. Our mulching heads are designed to process wood and brush. Encountering these other materials can cause significant damage. We also need to work together to identify any “keeper” trees or sensitive landscape features within the project area. These are things you want us to avoid and preserve. Our team can help you mark these desirable trees with brightly colored flagging tape.
This way our operators can easily see and maneuver around them. Finally, please ensure that there is a clear and accessible entry point to the work area. This is for our truck and trailer to deliver the mulching machine. We will discuss all these preparation steps with you during our initial site visit and consultation. Clear communication and good preparation are key to a smooth, efficient, and successful project. Our goal at N&D Tree & Crane Services is to work in partnership with you. We want to ensure we have all the information we need to transform your Parker property safely and effectively.
