Brush & Vegetation Removal: Taking The Property Back

Heavy brush and vegetation being cleared along a fence line
Brush removal is the workhorse service most landowners actually need. It's not a full clear — it's reclaiming the parts of your property that nature has slowly taken back.
The four most common jobs
Boundary & edge clearing. Briars, vines, and volunteer growth swallowing the edge of the property. We cut it back so surveying, fencing, or sight-lines are clean. *Marking your boundary is on you — have it surveyed or flagged before we start.*
Pasture reclamation. Cedars and sweetgum eating into grazing area year after year. Knock them down, let the grass come back.
Vacant lot cleanup. Lot looking abandoned. Brush down, debris handled, lot presentable for sale or build.
Ditch banks & roadsides. Vegetation choking drainage or blocking visibility.
How we choose the method
Mulch in place — fastest and cheapest. No piles to deal with.
Cut and pile for burn — where burning is allowed and you want a clean look fast.
Most jobs are a mix. We'll walk it and tell you which option fits.
What it costs
Light brush, mulched in place: $1,200–$2,000 per acre
Boundary line clearing: $250–$600 per 100 ft
Heavy lot cleanup: $2,500–$5,500+
Will it grow back?
Knockdown buys you a season or two. For longer control we can pair removal with stump treatment or schedule annual touch-up passes.
