Episode Details

Carl Rosenberg joins us this week from ARE Land Management in Georgia. Carl started his business by purchasing a $10k stump grinding machine. He focused on doing $200-$500 stump grinding jobs for other tree contractors to get his equipment paid off.

He quickly saw an opportunity to get into forestry mulching, so he purchased a skid steer & forestry mulching attachment.

After that, he bought an excavator & a track loader to complete his land management suite.
