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 honeysuckle thicket in a Germantown Hills timber, a grown-up fence row outside Eureka or an overgrown lot in town.
Offered across Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, Fulton and Marshall counties. Brush and young trees are ground into a chip mat where they stood, with nothing to burn or haul.
Overgrown timber, old pasture and grown-up field edges taken back to the line you choose, with trees, brush and stumps ground to mulch flush with the ground.
Bush honeysuckle and brush cut out from under the hardwoods you keep, with the resprouts that follow planned for in the quote.
A house spot, drive and utility path opened in a wooded lot, with the city or county asked about erosion control before the lines are drawn.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land for owners around Peoria, from Peoria Heights and Chillicothe up the river to East Peoria, Washington, Morton and Pekin on the Tazewell side, and out to Metamora, Canton and Lacon. The job might be a wooded lot on the bluff, a farm timber gone thick with honeysuckle, a fence row creeping into a field, or a building spot cut out of the 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, honeysuckle and understory clearing, and lot and homesite prep.
Greater Peoria has two kinds of ground: steep, wooded bluffs and ravines along the river, and flat prairie farm ground that holds water through the spring.

Much of the clearing around Peoria is rescue work in the woods: the shrub layer under the hardwoods, the brushy edge of a field, a strip along a fence. The method has to leave the trees you value and answer what happens to the brush.
Wondering what one acre costs before you call? The Peoria forestry mulching cost guide compares hourly and per-acre quotes, and the Illinois land clearing cost guide covers soils, stormwater and burning rules across the state.
Bluff woods and prairie farm ground work differently. The Illinois State Geological Survey describes deeply dissected bluffs along the Illinois River near Peoria, standing up to 350 feet above the valley floor and cut by small gullies. Those slopes are an access question. Away from the river, Drummer and similar black prairie soils hold a water table near the surface from January to May, so late summer and fall are the cheap weeks on farm ground.
Bare soil is what the permits count. Inside the City of Peoria, disturbing more than 5,000 square feet of ground, meaning trees or grass removed so the soil is exposed, needs an erosion and stormwater permit from Public Works. In unincorporated Peoria County, commercial and subdivision projects over half an acre need a county permit, and construction sites over an acre file with Illinois EPA. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination; the Peoria cost guide explains how this shapes a quote.
Bush honeysuckle is a listed exotic weed. Amur, Morrow's and Tatarian honeysuckle are designated exotic weeds under the Illinois Exotic Weed Act, so they may not be sold or planted, and Illinois Extension reports volunteers and hired removal contractors cutting them out of Spring Creek Preserve in East Peoria. The shrub resprouts hard when cut, so plan more than one visit. Our bush honeysuckle removal guide sets out the plan.
