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!

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.

Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching Across Jackson, Butts County and the South Atlanta Piedmont

Jackson is the Butts County seat, in red clay Piedmont country south of the Atlanta suburbs. Around it the land is a patchwork of pine stands, hardwood creek bottoms, small farms and lots waiting for houses. Timber is cut on a recurring basis in the unincorporated county, so a harvested tract that has grown back thick is a normal sight. Our crew clears that ground in Jackson, Jenkinsburg and Flovilla, and out to Griffin, Stockbridge, Conyers and Stonecrest.

The work we plan for falls into four jobs: forestry mulching, land clearing, privet and pine regrowth clearing and lot and homesite prep. Each leaves a different finish, and the quote names the one you are buying.

Sound Familiar?

  • A creek bottom where privet has closed the walking paths
  • Pines that came back so dense after the loggers left that nothing can walk through
  • A fence line lost under a green wall that reappears every summer
  • A wooded lot with a builder waiting and no clear spot for the house

Cut Brush Delivers

  • The thicket ground down with the hardwoods you flag left standing
  • Young pines mulched where they grow, with stumps flush to the ground
  • The line opened up, with the regrowth planned for before the first cut
  • The house spot, drive and utility run cleared to the ground for your builder

Why Butts County Landowners Choose Cut Brush

Privet covers more of Georgia's forest than any other nonnative invasive plant, and a creek bottom that has been cut once usually shows green again by midsummer. A privet job is only finished when the sprouts have been dealt with, so we plan the visits before the first one.

  • A plan for the second visit. We grind the thicket, return to cut the sprouts while they are soft, and leave any herbicide to a licensed applicator. Each return trip is its own line on the quote.
  • Small jobs are welcome. A single creek bank or one house spot is worth a quote. The smallest job is billed a minimum charge of about $1,500 and nothing more.
  • Rates published first. The Jackson pricing page sets out a per-acre band for each kind of work before anyone calls.
  • What the price covers. Under forestry mulching, brush, small trees and stumps become mulch on site, stumps end up flush to the soil and nothing is trucked away. Removing stumps below grade and cutting and hauling very large trees are discussed and priced in the quote, and grading and build pads are not in our price.

Still weighing it up? The Jackson forestry mulching cost guide shows how a day rate becomes a per-acre figure, the Georgia Chinese privet removal guide covers the visits a thicket needs, and the Georgia land clearing cost guide sets out prices statewide.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Jackson and Butts County

Permits sit with the county and the state. Butts County Planning and Development, at 625 West 3rd Street in Jackson, issues building permits and handles land disturbance permits. In the county's water supply watershed districts, buffers along perennial streams run wider than the state's 25 feet. On top of that, Georgia's construction stormwater permit covers a disturbance of one acre or more, and the Notice of Intent goes in before work starts. Ask the county about a parcel first; requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.

Clay and creek bottoms set the pace. Red clay holds water, and a tracked machine on wet clay cuts ruts and sheds mud into the creek below. Low ground along the creeks is where privet grows thickest and where the buffers apply, so those stretches are walked first, worked in dry spells and priced up front. A harvested pine tract is the opposite job: open ground, dense young pines and hardwood saplings, and a faster day.

Summer closes burning. Butts, Spalding, Henry, Clayton, Rockdale and DeKalb counties are all on the list where yard and land-clearing debris cannot be burned from May 1 through September 30. From October to April a burn still needs a Georgia Forestry Commission permit for land-clearing fires. Our crew grinds the brush in place, so there is no pile to permit, watch or haul.

Jackson and Butts County Land Clearing FAQ

Butts County Planning and Development issues building permits and handles land disturbance permits, and Georgia's construction stormwater coverage starts at one acre or more of disturbed ground. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination, so ask the county before a lot or tract is opened up.
Most work runs $1,500 to $4,500 an acre, and privet and regrowth work sits in a $1,500 to $2,500 band. Small jobs start at a minimum charge of about $1,500, which is a floor and not a fee added on top. Each band is on the Jackson pricing page, and the Jackson forestry mulching cost guide shows how a day rate turns into a per-acre figure.
Yes, unless the plan includes a follow-up. The stumps and roots stay alive and sprout, and birds keep dropping seed. The Georgia Chinese privet removal guide lays out the cut, the treatment by a licensed applicator and the return visits.
Yes. Our crew works across Butts, Spalding, Henry, Clayton, Rockdale and DeKalb counties, including Griffin, Stockbridge, Lovejoy, Jonesboro, Conyers and Stonecrest, at the same four rates. Request a free quote and we'll contact you to discuss your property.
Not from May through September: that ban covers every county we serve, Butts included. The rest of the year a permit and a watched fire are needed, and a thicket cut down at once makes a very large pile. Grinding it where it stands avoids both.
