01Bid

Type the address. Get the real parcel lines.

This is the real estimate engine from the app, running right here on the page. Type an address, trace the boundary on satellite, and get the acreage. No signup.

The old way: Customer calls for a quote. You grab a legal pad and drive out to eyeball it.

Example result in the MulchDeck Android app: a parcel outlined on satellite imagery, 22.20 acres, heavy vegetation, rolling terrain
Example of what you get: a parcel on satellite, 22.20 acres, vegetation and terrain tagged.

02Price

Your rate card does the math. The quote goes out from the truck.

Set your prices once, by vegetation density and terrain. Every estimate fills the per-acre price from them. One tap builds the quote PDF, their lot on the front, and it can go out before you pull off the property.

The old way: Back at the shop, trying to remember the acreage and what was dense hardwood vs light brush, then typing the quote up in Word.

16 per-acre prices, vegetation density x terrain
Add-ons
Mobilization, stump treatment, hauling

03Run the job

Log the job from the field. Even with no signal.

Crews log hours, fuel, and teeth from the phone, with before and after photos per day. Know your actual cost when the mulcher loads out.

The old way: Guessing your cost per acre because you don't track teeth and fuel by job.

Daily log
Machine hours, fuel, and carbide teeth, per day
Photos
Before and after, GPS-tagged, into a PDF
Schedule
A day board and week roster, not a dispatch calendar
Notepad
One per job for gate codes, site contacts, and the next shift. Edits merge, even offline.

04Know your margin

See whether the job made money.

Estimated revenue against actual costs, green or red, per job. Then invoice from the estimate and email a branded PDF.

The old way: Did you actually make money on that 40-acre clear? No idea. The check cleared but so did a lot of diesel and teeth.

Frequently asked questions

What is MulchDeck?

MulchDeck is bidding and job management software for forestry mulching and land clearing contractors. Type the address and it pulls the real parcel lines onto a satellite map, your rate card prices the acreage by density and terrain, and one tap sends a branded PDF quote from the truck. After you win it, crews log hours, fuel, and teeth from the field, you invoice from the quote, and every job shows its real margin. Customers pay you directly. MulchDeck never touches the money.

How much does MulchDeck cost?

MulchDeck is $149/month flat with unlimited users, no per-seat pricing, and no annual contract. You get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Pause in your slow season. No charge while paused, and your jobs and photos stay put until you resume.

Does MulchDeck work offline?

Yes. Photos, daily logs, and estimates are captured offline on rural acreage with no signal and sync automatically when your device reconnects.

Can two people write in the same job notepad at once?

Yes. Every job has one notepad the whole crew shares for gate codes, site contacts, and what to tell the next shift. Two people editing different lines both keep their changes, and edits made with no signal merge when the phone reconnects instead of overwriting whoever saved last.

What platforms does MulchDeck run on?

MulchDeck runs on the web, iPhone, and Android, with the same account and data synced across all three.

How does the estimating work?

Type the address and the parcel boundary loads on the satellite map, or draw the clearing area yourself. Pick vegetation density and terrain, and your saved rate card fills the per-acre price. Then add mobilization, stump treatment, and hauling to finish the quote.

Are there free tools I can use without signing up?

Yes. MulchDeck offers free land clearing calculators at mulchdeck.com/tools with no signup and no ads, including cost-per-acre, crew day rate, and mulching vs. bulldozing comparisons.
