Brush hogging for fields, pasture and fence lines
A brush hog cuts brush, saplings and overgrown grass fast. It is the right tool where the growth is thick but the trees are few.
A good fit when you have
- Hay fields and pasture that have gone to weeds and saplings
- Fence lines, ditches and field edges
- Trails, lanes and food plot prep
- Acreage that needs mowing down before a closer look
What you get
- Brush and grass cut low across the area you point out
- Cut material left on the ground to break down
- A faster pass than mulching when there are few larger trees
- A straight answer if the job really needs the mulcher instead
Good to know
- A brush hog is not for large trees. If there are many, mulching is the better fit.
- Cut growth lies on the surface. It is not ground into chips.
- Stumps and rocks hidden in tall growth can be spotted at the walkthrough.
- We often start fields with a brush hog and finish the thick edges with the mulcher.

Common questions
How is forestry mulching different from traditional land clearing?
Traditional clearing usually means a dozer or excavator pushing trees and brush into piles, then burning them or trucking them off. That takes more equipment and more days, and it scrapes up the soil. Mulching works in place: one compact track loader with a drum head cuts the growth and chips it onto the ground. You skip the burn piles, the burn permits and the hauling, and the topsoil stays where it is. Forestry mulching also tends to cost much less than traditional land clearing.
How much does it cost?
There are no flat rates. Every property is different, so we walk it with you for free and give you a written quote. Acreage, how thick the growth is, tree size, terrain and access all affect the price.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully insured. Ask and we will send a certificate.
What happens to the mulch?
It stays on the ground. It covers the soil, slows erosion and breaks down over time. Most people leave it in place. If you want it hauled off, ask and we will quote it.
