Project Overview
Middle Georgia Property Enhancements used specialized micro-logging equipment to clear approximately 50 acres in Jackson, Georgia. Trees were harvested, while remaining material was chipped and repurposed as fuelwood.
Rather than excavating and hauling away every stump, MGPE ground the stumps level with the surrounding ground so they could decay naturally over time. This method avoided creating large stump holes that would require extensive filling and grading.
Three years after completion, the property continues to demonstrate the lasting results of this cost-effective land-clearing and tree-removal approach.
