You might know this as brush hogging. Same work, either name. We cut overgrown pasture, fields, trails and fence lines with a rotary cutter and give you the land back in a usable state. Grass, brush and saplings go down in one pass.
Identifying stumps, rocks, wire, posts, old fencing and debris. Hidden metal is the main risk to the machine and the main reason contractors surcharge or exclude areas.
Deck height set for the growth and the intended result. Multi-year growth often needs two passes at descending heights rather than one aggressive cut.
The bulk of the work, done at speed where ground is even and clear. This is the part that per-acre pricing genuinely reflects.
Around trees, ponds, fence lines, food plots and structures. Slow, hand-managed work that costs disproportionately more per acre than the open ground.
Narrow linear work along trails and access lanes, usually priced by hour or by the job rather than by area.
Cut material is normally left to break down in place. Removal, if wanted, is a separate service and a separate cost.
If you are seeing any of this, call us before it gets more expensive.
| What you are seeing | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Growth is grass, weeds and briars | Standard bush hogging; routine job |
| Saplings thicker than about two inches | Beyond cutter capacity; forestry mulching territory |
| Ground not cut for several years | Expect multiple passes and a higher per-acre rate |
| Old fencing or dumped debris present | Flag it; hidden wire destroys cutters and gearboxes |
The site is walked to identify hazards, assess growth, and agree what gets cut and what does not. Anything you know is buried out there should be flagged now.
Stumps, wellheads, septic components, buried lines, survey markers and anything else to avoid should be physically marked, not merely described.
Deck height chosen for the growth and the goal. Cutting too low on rough ground scalps high spots and risks the machine; too high leaves stems that regrow quickly.
Open ground taken at speed, with heavy growth handled in successive passes at descending heights rather than forced in one.
Edges, around obstacles, and fence lines done last. Cut material is normally left in place to break down unless removal was agreed separately.
