Twisted Pines Mulching is a forestry mulching and skid steer business in Columbia, Mississippi, run by Zack Phillips, the sole owner and operator. It takes overgrown land and turns the brush and trees into a mulch layer spread across the ground, so there's no pile to burn or haul away. In the business's words, it's a way to clear land "without the hassle of burning or hauling it away." The work is done with a tracked skid steer fitted with a mulcher head. Jobs include clearing for a future homesite, hunting land, food plots, overgrown pastures and fields, thinning around trees, lane and property line clearing, and utility easements. The business also does driveway grading and gravel work, plus dirt work such as fill, topsoil and leveling. Mulching and lane clearing are priced by the hour or the day. Dirt work and driveways are priced by the job. Brush cutting and disking with a tractor are priced by the hour. On average, Phillips says he can mulch between 3/4 of an acre and 3 to 5 acres in an eight-hour day, depending on how thick the growth is. The business serves most of South Mississippi, including Covington, Forrest, George, Greene, Jackson, Jefferson Davis, Jones, Lamar, Lawrence, Marion, Pearl River, Perry, Simpson, Smith, Stone and Wayne counties. It works on residential and commercial land, from small lots to large acreage. Quotes are free. Phillips prefers text to 601-606-1188, since he can't hear the phone while running the equipment. This suits a landowner with overgrown brush and small trees who wants the land cleared and left as mulch. From twistedpinesmulching.com, read 18 October 2026.

Questions landowners ask

How many timber buyers and foresters serve Stone County?

22 businesses are listed for Stone County: 16 consulting foresters and 6 buyers, loggers and mills. 11 of them have offices in the county.

How much is my timber worth in Stone County?

Nobody can tell you what your timber is worth without walking it. Value depends on the species, the size and grade of the trees, how thickly they stand, the ground conditions and how easily a logger can reach them. Mississippi State University Extension Service publishes the quarterly Mississippi Timber Price Report, state-wide average stumpage in $/ton, which tells you what the market is doing, not what your tract holds. Anyone who quotes you a figure without seeing the land is guessing, and a guess in that direction is rarely in your favour.

What stumpage value means →

Do I need a forestry consultant to sell timber in Stone County?

You do not have to use one. A consulting forester works for you rather than the buyer, marks the timber, runs a sealed-bid sale and typically charges a percentage of the sale. Research from several state extension services has found that timber sold through a consultant often returns enough more to cover the fee, though results vary by tract and by market. The decision usually turns on the size of the sale and whether you have sold timber before.

Do I need a forestry consultant? →

Do I need a permit to cut timber in Mississippi?

Mississippi has no statewide permit and no notification to harvest timber on your own land — the article of the state code that once regulated forest harvesting was repealed in 2017, and the Forestry Commission's own step-by-step harvest guidance has no permit or notice step in it. Best Management Practices are published by the Forestry Commission and the state calls their use voluntary, but voluntary is not the same as unenforceable: Mississippi law makes it unlawful to cause pollution of state waters, the Department of Environmental Quality investigates and enforces against harvests that do, and the federal Clean Water Act exemption for forest roads and site preparation depends on following the mandatory practices. Counties have less room here than in Georgia or Alabama — since 16 March 2018 no Mississippi county or municipality may adopt an ordinance restricting forestry activity on agricultural land — but ordinances already in place before that date still stand, so check with your county before work starts. One more thing worth knowing: if someone cuts your trees without your consent, Mississippi sets the damages at double the fair market value of the timber plus the cost of replanting, and an honest mistake is not a defence.

What is timber worth in Stone County?

No price series is published for Stone County on its own. Mississippi's latest published stumpage figures (Mississippi State University Extension, Q2 2026) put oak sawtimber at $57.35 per ton. What your own timber brings depends on the species, the size and amount of it, and how far it is from a mill. A timber cruise by a forester settles it.

Forester listings for Stone County come from the Mississippi Board of Registration for Foresters consulting forester roster, the Forest Products Network (SREF) mill directory and the Mississippi Forestry Commission forestry vendors directory, revised 22-Sep-26. The register is updated quarterly.
