Brian Calhoun started with a Morbark 1300 Tub Grinder after purchasing an existing mulching company. Soon, a demand to start producing fuel chips in addition to mulching led him to purchase a Morbark whole tree drum chipper-and the rest is history.

Soon after he began working with loggers in his local area of Alberta, VA harvesting the byproducts of timber to produce mulch. As the demand for his business grew he began logging himself, selling both timber and mulch.
His business would continue to expand after a demand for fuel chips in the area from Dominion Power Company came into play. Calhoun made a choice to begin chipping and began to replace some of his grinders with drum chippers. Today, Calhoun Mulch and Timber currently operate three Morbark 6600 horizontal grinders and five 50/48 Morbark whole tree drum chippers.
