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.
From a wooded draw outside Dallas Center to an overgrown lot edge in Waukee or an acreage north of Madrid.
Available from Perry and Jefferson to Ames and the western Des Moines suburbs. Honeysuckle, brush and young trees are ground into chips on the spot, so nothing is left to pile, burn or haul.
A grown-over timber edge, an old pasture or a wooded acreage opened to the finish you choose, with stumps ground level with the soil.
Honeysuckle thickets and saplings taken out from under the oaks and hickories that stay, with each follow-up visit for sprouts listed in the quote.
A house spot, a drive and a utility path opened on a wooded acreage or a lot at the edge of town, planned around the slope.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land around Perry, Iowa, in Dallas County, and out through Adel, Waukee and Granger, over to Madrid and Boone, west to Jefferson, east to Ames and Huxley, and into Ankeny, Johnston, Urbandale, Clive and West Des Moines. Within fifteen miles of Perry close to four acres in five are planted to crops, so the clearing work is rarely out in the fields. It sits where the land drops toward the North Raccoon River and its side ravines, along old fence lines and timber edges, and at the back of wooded acreages and suburban lots.
Our main tool is forestry mulching: our crew grinds honeysuckle, brush and small trees down to mulch on the spot, so a slope stays covered and no pile is left behind. The same crew handles land clearing, honeysuckle and understory clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

Clearing near Perry usually means working under oaks you want to keep, on ground that falls away to a creek, against a shrub that sprouts back. The method has to handle all three.
Weighing your options? The Perry forestry mulching cost guide sets mulching beside cutting and burning, and the Iowa land clearing cost guide has the statewide picture, from stormwater coverage to forest reserve timber.
The timber is on the slopes. The uplands here belong to the Des Moines Lobe, Iowa's most recently glaciated landscape, and most of it is flat crop ground. The woods follow the North Raccoon River: Fazel Woods, south of Perry, runs from the riverbank to the top of the ridge, and at Silvers-Smith Woods north of Adel, steep slopes of black maple, basswood and red oak climb to ridge tops of white oak and shagbark hickory. Reaching that ground often means crossing a field, and working it means slower passes across the grade.
Honeysuckle sets the calendar. Bush honeysuckle is best cut before its seed disperses in late summer and early fall, and grinding at the end of July or early August can cut down the sprouting that follows. Honeysuckle can form a dense shrub layer beneath the oaks, shading the plants below and closing the ground to walking. Our bush honeysuckle removal guide for Perry explains when to cut and how many visits to expect.
Permits and who issues them. Construction that disturbs an acre or more needs Iowa DNR General Permit No. 2 coverage before the soil is touched. Outside city limits, Dallas County Planning and Development in Adel handles zoning and floodplain management; inside Perry, the City's Planning and Zoning office at City Hall on Willis Avenue issues zoning and building permits. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Dallas, Boone, Greene, Polk and Story counties, from Jefferson and Boone across to Ames, and from Perry down to Waukee and West Des Moines.
