How do you price forestry mulching and land clearing jobs the right way?
In this episode of the Land It Podcast, Josh Stockel talks with Noah Baldwin and Robert Moeller of Bad Hog Land Clearing about what it takes to build a successful land clearing business.
After working for another contractor, Noah and Robert decided to start their own company and run it with a different approach focused on integrity, quality work, and long-term growth.
They share the lessons they learned during their first few years in business — including equipment decisions, pricing strategies, and the mistakes that cost them money early on.

• What factors affect land clearing pricing
• The hidden costs contractors forget when bidding jobs
