How It Works | Clarksville Bush Hogging

Step by step

1. Walk the ground

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.

2. Mark hazards

Stumps, wellheads, septic components, buried lines, survey markers and anything else to avoid should be physically marked, not merely described.

3. Set cutting height

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.

4. Cut in planned passes

Open ground taken at speed, with heavy growth handled in successive passes at descending heights rather than forced in one.

5. Trim and finish

Edges, around obstacles, and fence lines done last. Cut material is normally left in place to break down unless removal was agreed separately.

What you can do before we arrive

None of this is required — it just makes the visit quicker.

Walk the ground yourself first and mark anything hard with a stake or flag, because hidden metal is the fastest way to turn a cheap job into a damage dispute.
Measure or estimate the acreage honestly, since a contractor quoting on a stated figure will reprice on arrival if it is well off.
Combine every area you want cut into a single visit, as mobilisation is the largest fixed cost and splitting jobs multiplies it.
Be realistic about stem thickness, because a rotary cutter has a genuine limit and pretending otherwise wastes everyone's day.
Consider timing against ground conditions, as cutting wet ground causes rutting and some contractors will decline it.
Check whether any of the ground is in a conservation, wetland or set-aside program with restrictions on cutting dates.
