Mastication Services in Northern California
SVE Forestry provides mastication services to manage vegetation, reduce wildfire risk, and improve land health across Northern California. Their solutions clear overgrowth, create defensible spaces, and enhance forest safety.
What is Mastication?
Mastication involves the mechanical processing of vegetation, including brush, small trees, and other woody materials, into mulch using specialized equipment.
This technique is highly effective in managing dense vegetation, reducing fuel loads for wildfires, and improving land accessibility. It provides a less disruptive alternative to traditional clearing methods like bulldozing or burning, minimizing soil disturbance and preserving valuable topsoil.
By breaking down vegetation into manageable mulch, mastication allows for faster decomposition and nutrient recycling, fostering healthier ecosystems.

The Importance of Professional Mastication in Northern California
Northern California’s fire-prone environment makes professional mastication services essential. SVE Forestry provides:
