What is Brush Hogging? More Than Just Mowing

Brush hogging, also known as field mowing or rotary cutting, is a form of heavy-duty mowing designed to cut and shred vegetation that is too thick, tall, or woody for a regular lawn or field mower.

The equipment itself is what makes the difference. A brush hog is a powerful mower deck with a single, heavy, spinning blade or set of blades. Unlike the fine-finish blades on a lawn mower, these blades are thick, durable, and often hinged to absorb the impact of hitting small rocks or stumps without breaking. Attached to a high-horsepower tractor or a skid steer, this setup can tear through:

Tall, thick grass and weeds (up to several feet high).
Dense, woody brush and brambles.
Small trees and saplings (typically up to 2-3 inches in diameter).

Our brush hogging services don't just cut the vegetation; they shred it into a coarse mulch that is left on the ground to decompose naturally, returning nutrients to the soil.

Is Brush Hogging Right for Your Property?

Professional brush hogging services are the ideal solution for a wide range of properties and projects. Here are some of the most common applications.

Reclaiming Overgrown Fields and Pastures

This is the number one reason clients call for our brush hogging services. An unused field or pasture can be quickly taken over by saplings and invasive species. Our service can erase this growth in a single pass, restoring the area to usable open land for livestock, haying, or simply for a beautiful, expansive view.

Clearing Lots for Real Estate Showings

If you are a landowner or real estate agent trying to sell a piece of undeveloped land, making it look presentable is critical. A potential buyer needs to be able to walk the property and see its potential. Our brush hogging services can quickly clear the lot of undergrowth, making it look larger, more appealing, and significantly increasing its curb appeal.

Maintaining Property Lines and Fence Lines

Overgrown property borders can cause disputes with neighbors and make it difficult to inspect or repair fencing. We can clear a wide, clean path along your fence lines and boundaries, making them clearly visible and easily accessible.

Creating and Maintaining Trails

For large property owners, creating a network of trails for walking, hunting, or ATVs is a great way to enjoy your land. Our brush hogging services can carve out new trails or maintain existing ones, keeping them clear and passable year after year.

Managing Vegetation for Fire Prevention

Keeping the area around your home or outbuildings clear of dense, dry brush is a critical step in creating a "defensible space" against the threat of wildfire. As recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), regular vegetation management is key. Our brush hogging services are an essential part of any fire prevention plan.

The Benefits of Hiring Professional Brush Hogging Services

For property owners with the right equipment and experience, a brush hog rental is a great DIY option. However, for many, hiring a professional service is the superior choice.

1. Safety and Expertise

Operating heavy machinery, especially on uneven or unfamiliar terrain, carries inherent risks. Our operators are highly trained, experienced professionals. They know how to operate the equipment safely and efficiently, and how to handle the specific challenges of New Hampshire's rocky and often steep terrain. They perform a pre-job site walk to identify hazards like hidden stumps, rocks, or washouts.

2. The Right Equipment for the Job

Our brush hogging services utilize top-of-the-line, commercial-grade equipment. Our machines have more horsepower and more durable cutting decks than standard consumer or "prosumer" models. This means we can tackle denser vegetation and get the job done much faster and more effectively than would be possible with smaller equipment.

3. Efficiency and Time Savings

What might take a homeowner an entire weekend with a smaller machine, our professional crew can often accomplish in just a few hours. We save you your most valuable asset: your time. You don't have to spend your weekend wrestling with a machine; you can simply enjoy the results.

4. No Hidden Costs or Hassles

When you hire our brush hogging services, the price we quote is the price you pay. You don't have to worry about the cost of fuel, transportation of the equipment, or any potential damage to the machine. It's a simple, turnkey solution.

5. A Partner in Land Management

We are more than just operators; we are land management consultants. During our free estimate, we can offer advice on the best way to manage your property long-term. For example, the University of New Hampshire Extension offers great resources on managing invasive species, and we can help you implement a plan to control them on your property.
