In this project, we masticated over 2 acres of scrub oak brush in Castle Rock, Colorado. Our Bobcat T870 and Fecon Masticating attachment efficiently turns the scrub oak brush into a mulched product.
Forestry mulching / mastication can be a very effective way to thin your scrub oak brush in the Castle Rock, Larkspur, Castle Pines, and surrounding areas of the Colorado Front Range.
By thinning scrub oak brush on your property, you are achieving 2 goals:
1. Fire Mitigation
Living in Colorado poses the potential threat of wildfires with the increasing temperatures and number of drought years. By masticating your scrub oak brush around your property, you are eliminating ladder fuels (flammable materials that can propel fire).
Even applying proper Firewise spacing between your scrub oak brush can help slow down fire in the situation of a wildfire.

2. Forest Health
By selectively thinning the scrub oak brush on your Castle Rock, Larkspur, or Castle Pines property, you are opening up more resources (water & nutrients) for the foliage and trees that are remaining.
This means stronger, healthier, larger, and more disease resistant trees!
