How Forestry Mulching Supports Land Surveying Projects in Florida

How Forestry Mulching Supports Land Surveying Projects in Florida

When it comes to preparing land for development, access, or long-term management, land surveying and land clearing go hand in hand. What many property owners in North Florida don’t realize is that forestry mulching—a low-impact, eco-friendly method of clearing land—can significantly improve the accuracy, efficiency, and safety of surveying projects.

At Nunamaker Land Surveying, we offer both professional land surveying and forestry mulching services across the Florida Panhandle. This powerful combination allows us to deliver better results while saving our clients time and money.

Why Land Surveying Often Requires Site Clearing

Before a surveyor can accurately assess boundaries, topography, or elevations, they need clear lines of sight to key features like property corners, monuments, and terrain changes. Heavy brush, vines, saplings, or fallen trees can block visibility and access.

For example:

That’s where forestry mulching makes all the difference.

How Forestry Mulching Enhances Surveying Projects

1. Improved Access and Visibility

Forestry mulching opens up trails, property lines, and interior sections of wooded land. This gives survey crews direct access to hard-to-reach areas, improving speed and accuracy—especially on large or overgrown parcels.

2. Preserves Important Land Features

Unlike bulldozing, mulching selectively removes underbrush and unwanted vegetation while leaving desirable trees and root systems intact. This is especially important during topographic surveys, where natural features must be preserved and accurately documented.

3. Reduces Time and Labor Costs

When clients hire separate companies for clearing and surveying, they often face delays, miscommunication, and extra mobilization fees. Nunamaker handles both services in-house, allowing us to coordinate efficiently and complete your project faster.

4. Minimizes Soil Disturbance

Because forestry mulching leaves the ground largely undisturbed, it doesn’t interfere with elevation readings, soil tests, or future construction prep. Traditional clearing methods often require follow-up grading or site repairs before surveying can even begin.

5. Ideal for Boundary Maintenance and Easements

For long-term landowners, forestry mulching is an excellent tool for maintaining boundary lines, utility easements, and access roads. Periodic mulching makes future surveys easier and helps prevent property encroachments or disputes.
