Bedford is the Lawrence County seat, the heart of Indiana’s limestone country, and home to the headquarters of the Hoosier National Forest. Step outside town and you find wooded hills, rocky ground, and farm edges that grow back fast. Inside town, a vacant lot can turn into a thicket in a couple of seasons.
Forestry mulching handles both. One tracked machine grinds brush and small trees above the ground, so it works on rocky or uneven terrain where pulling stumps would be slow and messy. Alchemy Excavation uses it to clean up lots, open wooded land, and clear around homes across the Bedford area.
Around Bedford, mulching is the go-to for:
We match the method to the property, not the other way around.
Weeds, brush, and saplings on vacant or neglected lots brought back under control.
Brush and small trees cleared beneath the canopy so the woods are open and usable.
Mulching works above the surface, so rock and slope don't stop the job.
Trails, lanes, and openings cut for access, hunting, and wildlife.
We are based just up the road in Springville and work in Bedford every week.
Tracked equipment handles slopes and rock that wheeled machines can't.
Overgrown lots are cleared low and even, ready for mowing.
No brush piles or burn piles left behind.
Need a driveway, pad, or drainage after clearing? Same crew.

Where your property sits decides which office is involved.
Inside Bedford City Limits – The Bedford Planning & Zoning Department (City Hall, 1102 16th St, 812-275-1631) handles building permits and code enforcement, including complaints about high grass, weeds, and debris.
Outside City Limits – Work in rural areas falls under Lawrence County. New driveway culverts on county roads go through the Lawrence County Highway Department (812-275-2644).
Burning Brush – Burning tree and brush debris from clearing for a new home site, private road, or development needs IDEM approval first. Mulching in place avoids that step.
Yes. We can mulch the brush, weeds, and saplings so the lot is cleared low and even and easy to keep mowed. Bedford’s Planning & Zoning office handles code enforcement for high grass, weeds, and debris.
Usually, yes. The mulcher works above the surface, so rocky soil and limestone ledges are much less of a problem than they are for stump removal.
We only work on private property. If your land borders public forest, a survey or clear property line marking helps make sure we stay on your side.
It depends on acreage, brush density, tree size, and terrain. We give a clear written quote after a free site visit.
