What We Do
NorthPoint's land clearing and forestry mulching services cover the full range of vegetation removal and land preparation needs across New Hampshire — from selective thinning on a residential lot to large-scale commercial site clearing and hunting property management.
Forestry mulching grinds trees, brush, and stumps in place using a high-powered mulching head attachment — leaving a protective layer of wood chip mulch on the ground. No hauling, no burning, no erosion. The fastest and most environmentally friendly clearing method for most NH wooded properties.
Full land clearing using excavators, grapple loaders, and wood chippers to cut, remove, and process trees and brush. Material is chipped on-site or hauled away. The right approach when significant grade changes are needed or when complete material removal is required for construction.
Selective clearing and mulching on hunting properties, food plots, and wildlife management areas. NorthPoint creates productive food plots, clears shooting lanes, thins overgrown stands, and opens up access corridors — transforming neglected hunting properties into productive wildlife habitat.
Low-impact clearing on NH lakefront and waterfront properties using rubber-tracked equipment and forestry mulching — methods that preserve topsoil and minimize erosion. NorthPoint's team is experienced working within NH DES permit requirements on Lake Winnipesaukee, Squam Lake, Newfound Lake, and other NH water bodies.
Reclaiming neglected, abandoned, or long-overgrown land across New Hampshire. Transforms unusable parcels overrun with brush, saplings, and mature trees back into productive, usable property — ready for building, farming, grazing, or recreation.
Stump grinding and removal following tree clearing or as a standalone service. NorthPoint grinds stumps below grade — preparing the area for lawn installation, landscaping, construction, or general use. Available as part of a full clearing package or as a separate service.
Understanding Your Options
Both methods clear land effectively — but they differ significantly in speed, cost, environmental impact, and what they leave behind. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right approach for your NH property and project goals.
| Factor | Forestry Mulching | Traditional Land Clearing |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | Grinds trees and brush in place with a mulching head — material stays on site as mulch | Cuts, pushes, or grubs vegetation — material is chipped, piled, burned, or hauled away |
| Topsoil preservation | Excellent — topsoil and root structure remain intact | Can disturb or strip topsoil depending on method |
| Erosion control | Very good — mulch layer protects bare soil | Higher risk of erosion after clearing — bare soil exposed |
| Hauling costs | None — all material processed in place | Often significant — material must be moved or disposed of |
| Speed | Fast on wooded lots and brush-heavy sites | Can be slower when material handling is required |
| Best for | Wooded lots, hunting properties, lakefront sites, selective thinning | Construction sites needing grade changes, full material removal |
| Slope and terrain | Tracked equipment handles most NH terrain | May require multiple machines depending on grade |
| Environmental impact | Low — no burning, minimal soil disruption | Higher — more ground disturbance, potential runoff |
