Eco-Friendly Land Clearing and Wood Recycling Services
With almost 2 decades of experience, Africa Biomass Company (ABC) is a leader in recycling and land-clearing services. Working with our partner, Môreson Grondverskuiwers, we specialise in removing old orchards, vineyards, and windbreaks from designated areas for efficient land or site clearing and preparation.
How Our Tailored Land Clearing Processes Work
Properly processed waste wood can significantly enhance water conservation by up to 30% and offers numerous other benefits, making orchard removal a sustainable agricultural practice. Each farm or site is unique, and the clearing process is tailored accordingly. Our land-clearing operations can be divided into the following categories:
Windbreaks and Alien Invasive Trees
ABC utilises tree cutters and chainsaw teams to cut down windbreaks and invasive alien trees. The logs are then collected and fed into a Bandit Horizontal Grinder by a three-wheeled logger, transforming them into usable mulch. This mulch can be sold as biomass or used as ground cover in new and established orchards and vineyards.
Orchard & Smaller Site Clearing
We use excavators to remove old and unwanted orchards from root to tip. The trees are then gathered by three-wheeled loggers and processed into mulch, which serves as ground cover for new or existing orchards and vineyards.
De-bushing & Larger Site Clearing
For larger sites and bush clearing, ABC employs bulldozers and a bush rake to remove unwanted bushes and trees. The resulting woody biomass is fed into a Bandit Horizontal Grinder and converted into wood chips or mulch. These products can be sold as biomass or used as ground cover.

Reasons to Recycle Materials from Old Unwanted Orchards, Vineyards & Windbreaks
Recycling orchards, vineyards, and windbreaks is essential for several reasons:
-
Production of Valuable By-Products:
The removal process generates valuable wood chips as a by-product. Instead of discarding the fragments, they can be repurposed through wood recycling into useful mulch or biofuel.
-
Benefits of Wood Chips as Mulch:
Wood chips serve as an excellent form of organic mulch with numerous benefits. They can be used as ground cover in new or established orchards, vineyards, or other crops to reduce competition from weeds. Mulch reduces the requirement for water/irrigation.
-
Enhancement of Soil Health:
Organic mulch, such as wood chips, grass clippings, and crushed leaves, decomposes over time, enriching the nutritional value of soil. This is particularly beneficial in areas with low soil fertility, as it enhances soil health and promotes better crop growth.
