Amanda Elliott
Forestry Mulching
We hired Cut Brush for approximately three acres of forestry mulching and couldn't be happier. Communication was outstanding from the very beginning, the crew was professional and efficient, and we loved the regular updates and photos throughout the project. It's refreshing to work with a company that values communication and quality workmanship. Highly recommend!

Stan Creech
Land Clearing
Greg did a fantastic job with our land that was overgrown with vines, brush and trees. It took about 1 1/2 days of constant work with the machine to get this 0.6 acres under control. Greg was here at 8am sharp, just as promised. Very professional and reliable. 100% satisfied customer! I highly recommend Cut Brush for land clearing.
A straightforward process from the first conversation to land you can use.
Whether it is a barberry thicket behind a house in Weston, an old field in Redding gone to brush or a wooded lot in Newtown.
Offered in Wilton and across Fairfield County, from Ridgefield and Redding to Westport and Greenwich. Brush and young trees are ground into mulch where they stood, with nothing to burn or haul.
Overgrown backyards, old fields and wooded corners taken back to the line you choose, with brush, small trees and stumps ground flush with the ground.
Japanese barberry, bittersweet and brush cut out from under the oaks and maples you keep, with the follow-up the shrub needs planned in the quote.
A house spot, drive and utility path opened in a wooded lot, laid out around any wetland or brook before the lines are drawn.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land for owners around Wilton, from Weston, Redding and Ridgefield to New Canaan, Norwalk and Westport, and north to Bethel, Danbury, Newtown and Southbury. Most of it is not empty acreage. It is the wooded half of a house lot that has filled in with barberry, an old hayfield going back to bittersweet and saplings, a stone wall line lost in brush, or a building spot in second-growth woods.
Most of it is forestry mulching. Our crew grinds brush and small trees into mulch where they grew, in one pass, so nothing is left to burn or haul. We also offer land clearing, barberry and understory clearing, and lot and homesite prep.
Two things shape most jobs here: a shrub layer that grows back unless it is planned for, and brooks and wetlands that the town reviews before anyone clears near them. Request a free quote; we'll contact you to discuss your property, access and the clearing you need.
Clearing around Wilton is mostly selective: the shrub layer under oaks, the brushy margin of a lawn, a strip along a wall or a brook. The method has to leave the trees you value and answer the debris question on lots where burning is limited.
Wondering what one acre costs before you call? The Wilton forestry mulching cost guide compares hourly and per-acre quotes, and the Connecticut land clearing cost guide covers stony till, wetlands and burn rules across the state.
Barberry fills the understory. The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station reports that Japanese barberry escaped from gardens and now grows wild throughout the state's woodlands, where its thickets keep native trees and wildflowers from coming back. It is thorny and slow to grind, and it resprouts from the crown, so plan for a follow-up visit. Our Japanese barberry removal guide sets out the plan.
The 100-foot line around water. Wilton's wetland regulations treat clearing, grubbing and grading within 100 feet of a wetland or a watercourse, such as the Norwalk River and its brooks, as a regulated activity that needs an Inland Wetlands Commission permit first. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination; the town's Environmental Affairs Department is the first call, and the Wilton cost guide explains how that changes timing and price.
Ticks live in the shrub layer. The Experiment Station found significantly more ticks carrying the Lyme disease bacterium in barberry-infested woods than in woods without it, and that managing barberry cut tick numbers for up to five years. That is why the strip between a lawn and the trees is often the first place an owner here wants opened.
