DHM Forestry Services operates primarily in Gunnison County, Saguache County, and surrounding Western Colorado mountain communities including Sargents, Taylor Park, Crested Butte, Pitkin, and Powderhorn.

DHM can manage projects ranging from smaller private property wildfire mitigation and defensible space creation to large-acreage mechanical forestry projects for commercial and government clients, including cross-boundary public land work.

DHM owns and operates track steers and excavators equipped with mastication mulching heads, log grapples, and chippers, designed specifically for forestry mulching, mechanical mastication, and land clearing in steep and remote terrain.

DHM is equipped and experienced to work on government and commercial projects, including cross-boundary fuels reduction and public land treatments, complying with safety and environmental standards required by agencies like USFS, BLM, and CSFS.

Project timelines vary based on acreage, terrain, and treatment complexity. DHM provides clear estimates after a site assessment to outline expected duration and scheduling.

You can request a site assessment by contacting DHM through their website or by phone. The assessment includes a walk-through of your property to evaluate wildfire risk and treatment options.

Forestry mulching efficiently reduces brush and small trees in place, leaving a mulch layer that retains soil moisture, prevents erosion, and recycles nutrients, unlike traditional clear-cutting which can cause soil disturbance and debris piles.
