I actually did have a guy mention he could mulch it too. I had never seen this before. Anyone else had old cutover mulched?


It grows back really quick. Palmettos for sure do, briars, and anything else because the mulcher does nothing to the roots just above ground.

I have no clue on the pad, obviously preparing that will cost more. But you can generally get tractor work done pretty cheaply. There's guys with bulldozers and stuff that will do the work for $100-150 an hour usually, but you have to call around to find them. My Father in law has a guy he found out of the blue (as in not a friend) that does a day of CAT bulldozer work in central tennessee for $65/ hour for 8 hours. I've had other work done for $80-100/ hour also.

But if you call around you can likely find some tractor work for fairly inexpensive.

This is true, and the roots can be a bitch. I would not recommend for anyone wanting grass. But I've found that a combination of Brush Cutter and Glysphosate will knock everything back down; even Palmetto if you hit it several times. And then I use a simple push mower to keep it under control.
