Diamond D Industries has acquired ShredHedz LLC, a forestry mulching and land-clearing specialist serving utility right-of-way and industrial site development across the Southeast. The transaction closed on June 5, 2026; terms were not disclosed. ShredHedz now operates as Diamond D’s fourth operating division, Clearing, retaining its entire workforce and its existing leadership.

Diamond D has built its business on self-performing work rather than subcontracting, and the acquisition deepens that model. The company now operates through four divisions, each fielding its own crews and equipment: Infrastructure, Civil, Hydro-Excavation, and Clearing. Together, they let one team carry a project from the first cut to a finished, buildable site, under one contract and one line of responsibility.

Dwayne Hall, president and chief executive of ShredHedz, will lead the Clearing division. The company’s crews, equipment, and customer relationships transfer intact, ensuring uninterrupted service on work already underway.

“ShredHedz earned its reputation in difficult terrain and on demanding schedules, which is precisely where our clients need a contractor they can trust,” said Casey Daigle, chief executive officer of Diamond D Industries. “With this team inside the organization, a single company now owns the entire sequence, from initial clearing to finished site, and a single company stands behind the outcome.”

The combined operation adds crews, mulching and grinding equipment, and haul capacity engineered for high-volume work. ShredHedz contributes a specialized low-ground-pressure fleet built to maintain production on wet, wooded, and environmentally sensitive ground that would stall or damage conventional equipment. Its scope spans corridor clearing, mechanical mulching, selective vegetation removal, conventional timber removal, and debris processing and management.

“We have worked on shared projects with ShredHedz for nearly four years, so we are integrating a known operation, not taking a chance on one,” said Bryan Vollmer, chief operating officer of Diamond D Industries. “Their safety standards, production discipline, and field execution already match ours, which is what allows us to bring them on as a full division without disrupting active work. It also adds capacity for the work that protects critical infrastructure, including preventative fire breaks and mulching in place that reduce hazards before they become incidents.”

Safety is managed as an operating discipline. Diamond D runs a behavior-based safety program supported by a 1:50 safety-to-employee ratio, an OSHA 10- and 30-trained workforce, and a five-year average experience modification rate (EMR) of 0.70. The company owns more than 300 machines at an average model year of 2023 or newer.

For existing customers, the terms they rely on remain unchanged. Commitments, pricing and points of contact stay in place; what expands is capacity and reach, not complexity.
