Forestry Mulching & Tree Services in Hammond, LA
Your Trusted Local Tree Service & Land Clearing Experts
- Licensed Arborist #2696
- Fully Insured
- 200hp Forestry Mulchers
Hammond is home base for Bottomland Tree Service. We work here every week — on the residential lots along US-190, the rural tracts off Highway 51 heading north toward Tickfaw, and the bottomland corridors that run through Tangipahoa Parish where drainage ditches back up and the ground stays wet nine months out of the year. The I-12 corridor has pushed suburban growth hard into land that used to be pine flatwoods and hardwood bottomland. That means developers and homeowners are constantly dealing with dense brush, standing sweetgum, water oak, wax myrtle thickets, and vine-choked fence lines. We’re licensed Louisiana Arborists (#2696) and we run 200-horsepower forestry mulchers with Low Ground Pressure track pads — equipment built specifically for the soft, high-water-table soil conditions you find throughout Tangipahoa Parish. Call us at 225-251-9130.
Our Hammond Services
How We Help
Forestry Mulching in Hammond
Hammond’s flat, poorly drained bottomland creates major land-clearing challenges, but our 200-horsepower forestry mulchers with Low Ground Pressure (LGP) tracks can clear dense palmetto, sweetgum, wax myrtle, and large trees without damaging soft soil, while leaving nutrient-rich mulch behind to reduce erosion and stabilize flood-prone ground.
Tree Removal Services
Hammond frequently faces storm and hurricane damage that leaves water oaks, pines, and sweetgum trees leaning dangerously or structurally compromised, and our hazardous tree removal services throughout Tangipahoa Parish safely handle storm-damaged, rotting, lightning-struck, and high-risk trees with evaluations performed by licensed Louisiana Arborist Lee Bailey (#2696).
Right-of-Way Clearing
Hammond’s rapid growth along the I-12 corridor has increased demand for land clearing, right-of-way clearing, and agricultural brush removal, and our forestry mulching services efficiently clear subdivision lots, utility corridors, fence rows, and overgrown pastureland in a single pass without hauling debris or burning.
Land Clearing & Site Prep

Frequently Asked Questions - Hammond, LA
Our LGP track pads let us work in conditions that would stop most equipment. We’ve worked on bottomland in Tangipahoa Parish after significant rain events and stayed on top of the soil without bogging down. If the ground is actively flooded with standing water, we’ll schedule around it — but soft, saturated ground that typical equipment can’t handle is exactly what our machines are built for.
Both. We do residential lot clearing, storm tree removal, and right-of-way work inside Hammond city limits. We also cover the full rural radius — unincorporated Tangipahoa Parish, the communities north on 51, east on 190, and south toward the I-12 corridor.
It stays on your property as mulch. The material breaks down over time and conditions the soil. You don’t pay for a haul-away crew, and you don’t have to deal with a burn pile. In the bottomland areas around Hammond where erosion from rain and seasonal flooding is a real concern, that ground cover layer is actually a benefit.
Yes. We handle tree removal of any size, including large live oaks. Lee Bailey is a licensed Louisiana Arborist (#2696) and can assess the tree before we touch it. Call 225-251-9130.
