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!

They did an amazing job getting rid of them pesky vines!
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.
From a storm-broken woodlot out toward Waynesboro to an acre waiting on a house in Grovetown.
Whole tracts opened either side of the Savannah River, with the finish you are buying written into the quote before a machine is booked.
One tracked machine grinding standing brush and small stems where they stand, the material left down as a mat rather than stacked for a burn day that may not come.
Fence lines, field edges and the thicket that shot up wherever a storm opened the canopy, cut back to ground you can walk again.
Building envelope, drive and utility run opened up on Sand Hills ground that drains fast and holds very little together once it is bare.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Augusta sits where the hard rock of the Piedmont gives out and the coastal sediments begin, and the ground changes character across the width of this service area. Much of Richmond and Burke County ground belongs to the Carolina and Georgia Sand Hills, where soils of the Troup series carry sandy horizons running from the surface down to about 44 inches, somewhat excessively drained, with rapid permeability through those upper layers. Drive north through Columbia County and the surface firms up into Piedmont clay instead.
That matters to a quote because the same machine has a different day on each. Deep sand carries weight well when it is dry and gives a mulching head very little to fight, but it holds almost no organic matter and nothing binds it once the cover is off. Ranges for every kind of work are on the Augusta pricing guide, the statewide picture is in our Georgia land clearing cost per acre guide, and the mulching number specifically is broken down in our Augusta forestry mulching cost guide.
Helene is still lying on a lot of this ground. The Georgia Forestry Commission assessed the storm that crossed the state on 27 and 28 September 2024 and put the damage to the timber resource at $1.28 billion across 8.9 million acres of forestland, with winds reaching 100 miles per hour along a track that ran from Valdosta up to Augusta and 88 percent of the hit landing on privately owned land. Two growing seasons later, plenty of parcels here still carry snapped tops, leaning stems, root plates tipped out of the sand and a thicket of young growth that came up through the holes the storm punched in the canopy. That is a different job from clearing standing brush, and we say so in the quote rather than at the end. Our guide to clearing storm-damaged land around Augusta covers what changes.
Which office reviews the work depends on which side of the river you are on. Georgia hands land-disturbance permitting to local issuing authorities, so the Augusta-Richmond County consolidated government reviews inside the county and Columbia County reviews its own through Stormwater Compliance in Evans, where the application sorts a project as exempt, minor or major and asks whether the disturbance falls within 200 feet of state waters. South Carolina does it the other way around: the state permits, the acreage tiers start below one acre, and inside Aiken County stormwater boundaries a county approval letter goes in before the state application. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction. Cut Brush can flag what commonly applies and help identify the right office, and the governing authority makes the determination.
There is no single answer to what you may burn here. Richmond and Columbia are both on the Georgia EPD list of 54 counties where burning yard and land-clearing debris is prohibited from May 1 through September 30. Burke County is not on that list. Cross into South Carolina and there is no seasonal ban at all, but state law there requires notifying the South Carolina Forestry Commission before burning outdoors, and that notification law does not apply inside town or city limits. Three answers, one service area, and the difference lands squarely on what the material costs you to get rid of. It is the first thing we settle on an Augusta quote, because grinding in place is the one route that works in every month and on every address.
Five counties across two states: Richmond, Columbia and Burke in Georgia, Aiken and Edgefield in South Carolina.
