Prescribed Burning
Fire as a Tool · 01

FIRE IS THE TOOL.
SAFETY IS THE RULE.

RESTORE NATIVE HABITAT

Open the understory for native grasses, forbs, and the wildlife that depend on them.

RECYCLE NUTRIENTS

Return locked-up nutrients to the soil and stimulate fresh, palatable growth.

IMPROVE TIMBER STANDS

Reduce competition, suppress disease, and prepare ground for regeneration.

WHAT BURN CLIENTS SAY

Landowners across the Carolinas trust Black-Line to plan, ignite, and mop up safely.

"Crew showed up on time with a written plan and walked every fire line before lighting a match. Smoke management was dialed in and the understory came back thicker than I've seen in years."
LANDOWNER

Robeson County, NC
"We had ten acres of nasty sweetgum and briar choking out a pine stand. Black-Line mulched it in two days, left the mature pines untouched, and the ground looked like a park when they pulled out."
TIMBER OWNER
Forestry Mulching
Cumberland County, NC
"Soil test, lime, fertilizer, and the right seed for our dirt — not just a bag-and-go job. Plot held green through dry weeks and the deer were on it inside of three weeks."
