About Gow Forestry
Gow Forestry is a locally rooted forestry mulching, defensible space and land & brush clearing company serving Spokane, Green Bluff, Deer Park, Mead, Chattaroy, Liberty Lake, Diamond Lake, Newport, Elk, Blanchard and surrounding Inland Northwest communities. Our focus: wildfire mitigation, ecological stewardship and practical, long-term land usability.
Our Mission
We help property owners reduce wildfire risk, reclaim overgrown acreage and create resilient home ignition zones through professional forestry mulching, strategic fuel load reduction and zone-based defensible space planning. Rather than brute-force clearing, we emphasize selective treatment that interrupts ladder fuels while protecting desirable canopy and soil structure.
Every project blends technical skill, environmental stewardship, transparent communication and safety-first workflow design. Our clients range from rural residential homeowners to small farms, retreat properties, HOAs and recreational parcel owners seeking sustainable, effective vegetation management.
Unlike one-pass operators, we view mulching and lot clearing as part of a bigger wildfire resilience strategy that includes defensible space zoning, seasonal maintenance and ecological balance.
How We Work
Our process starts with a detailed site assessment: fuel profile, slope, moisture conditions, crown spacing, access constraints, erosion risks and homeowner objectives. We map practical outcomes (fuel reduction targets, sight-line reclaim, build prep, perimeter clearance) and establish a phased sequence when budgets or seasonality dictate gradual implementation.
During execution we manage machine routing to minimize soil compaction and root zone disturbance. Undesirable ladder fuels and invasive undergrowth (blackberry, hawthorn, volunteer saplings) are mechanically mulched into a moisture-retentive layer that slows regrowth and stabilizes the surface. Selective crown lifting and spacing improvements support defensible space goals without over-thinning.
Post-project, we walk the property with you, highlight changes, outline recommended seasonal maintenance intervals, and (if applicable) provide next-step suggestions for extended zones, ingress/egress improvements or follow-on forestry mulching passes.
