Mastication is a vegetation management technique that uses specialized machinery to grind, shred, or chop small trees, brush, and other woody debris into small piece. Those pieces are then left on-site as mulch. This process reduces the size and vertical position of fuels, resulting in smaller, more compact surface fuels that decompose over time. This reduction in wildfire risk, coupled with improved forest health by allowing more sunlight and water to reach remaining trees, prepares sites for regeneration or prescribed fire.
Not only is it vital for forest and property health and fire protection, it also provides a visual property enhancement.
We often receive feedback from customers stating that wished they would have had mastication done years before.
