Brush clearing opens up ground that brush and young trees have taken over. In eastern Kansas, that can mean pasture gone to buckbrush, sumac, hedge and young cedars. It can also be a briar thicket in a fence corner or brush creeping into a yard. The ground stays pasture or yard, open and ready to use again.

Tell us what the land needs and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Pasture is a big part of Linn County farmland. The 2022 Census of Agriculture counted more than 100,000 acres of it. K-State Research and Extension notes that woody plants once stayed along creeks and streams. Without fire, they spread into the prairie and can take it over.
Dense brush blocks grazing and makes livestock harder to handle, K-State's brush guide says. The same guide notes that removing trees and brush from grazing land can raise forage production. It can also raise how many animals the land can carry.
The guide also says brush is often ignored until the problem gets severe. Its advice is to catch brush problems before then. Brush clearing takes in fence corners and field edges along with the open ground. When a whole fence row or tree line needs to come out, that is fence line clearing.
Brush and small trees go through the forestry mulching head on the skid loader. The head grinds them where they stand, and the mulch stays on the ground.
Bigger stems and thick clumps come out with the excavator, roots and all. We pile the pulled brush on site where you want it. You pick the trees that stay, and we clear around them.
Pulling roots moves soil below the surface, and Kansas law counts that as excavation. The law calls for notice through Kansas 811 at least two full working days before digging starts. Utilities mark only their own lines, so tell us where any private line runs to a barn or a shop.
Some of it will, and the kind of brush decides. Hedge and honey locust sprout again from parts below the ground, K-State notes. Eastern red cedar does not, so a cedar cut off at ground level will not regrow.
When the excavator lifts a stem out, roots and all, there is no stump left to sprout. Roots left in the soil can still send up shoots, K-State's brush guide notes. Plan on some follow-up for the kinds that sprout.
Grazing helps keep the brush down. K-State's brush guide says livestock keep woody seedlings and sprouts stunted in moderately or heavily stocked pastures. Cattle seldom eat mature woody plants, but goats and deer eat a lot of woody shoots and leaves. Once the brush is down, good grazing and pasture care can limit regrowth, the guide says.
