Cut Brush – Raleigh, NC | Clear Land. Create Opportunity.
When it comes to reclaiming overgrown land in North Carolina, not all land clearing methods are
created equal.
Whether you’re preparing a lot for construction, clearing trails, or just trying to make your
property more usable, there are two main approaches:
Forestry mulching and traditional land clearing.
At Cut Brush, we specialize in forestry mulching, and for good reason. In this guide, we’ll break
down both methods so you can make the best choice for your land, your budget, and your
long-term goals.
What Is Forestry Mulching?
Forestry mulching is a one-step land clearing process that uses a specialized machine,
typically a skid steer with a mulching head, to grind brush, saplings, and small trees into natural
mulch, right on the spot.
There’s no hauling, no burning, no piles to clean up, and the mulch left behind actually helps
nourish the soil and prevent erosion.
What Is Traditional Land Clearing?
Traditional land clearing often involves a combination of bulldozers, excavators, and chainsaws
to cut down vegetation, remove stumps, and grade the land. It usually requires burning or
hauling debris, and may involve disturbing the topsoil or compacting the ground.
