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 Huntington County, Indiana

Cut Brush clears overgrown farm ground and rural property around Huntington, Indiana, from Andrews, Roanoke and Warren to Wabash, North Manchester, Bluffton and Columbia City. Around here the trees are mostly not in the fields. They are in the fence rows between them, along the field edges, in the farm woodlots and on the banks of the ditches that drain the ground.

Most of that work is forestry mulching. Our crew grinds brush, saplings and shrubs into mulch where they grew, so nothing is piled, burned or hauled. We also offer land clearing, fence row and field edge clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

On a fence row the machine works along the line, opening it so the wire and posts can be seen and repaired, and grinding the shrubs that have pushed out into the field. In a woodlot it takes the shrub layer from under the bigger trees and leaves the ones you want. If you are building, we clear to the ground so your builder can grade.

Sound Familiar?

  • A fence row so grown in that you cannot see the wire, let alone fix it
  • Autumn olive creeping a little further into the field every year
  • A farm woodlot you cannot walk for the shrubs under the trees
  • A pile of cut brush you are not allowed to haul away and do not want to burn

Cut Brush Delivers

  • The row cut back so the wire and posts are plain to see
  • Field edges pushed back to the planting line, with follow-up planned
  • The shrub layer ground out from under the trees you keep
  • Brush turned to mulch where it grew, so there is nothing to haul or burn

Why Huntington County Landowners Choose Cut Brush

Clearing on Huntington County ground is mostly fence rows, field edges and woodlot understory. The method has to stay off the crop ground, leave the trees you want and answer what happens to the brush.

  • Nothing to haul off the farm. Indiana's Terrestrial Plant Rule makes it illegal to transport autumn olive and Amur honeysuckle. Mulching leaves them as chips where they grew.
  • No burn pile to clear with the state. Burning tree waste from clearing for a change in land use needs IDEM's approval first. Mulching leaves nothing to burn.
  • Per-acre bands in public. The Huntington pricing page lists the range for each kind of work.
  • Scope and price on paper. Our crew writes both out before work starts.
  • What the price includes. Forestry mulching grinds brush, small trees and stumps into mulch on site, with stumps flush with the ground and nothing hauled away. Full stump removal below grade and cut-and-haul for very large trees are discussed and priced in the quote. Grading and build pads are not part of our price.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Huntington

The soil decides the calendar. USDA soil data puts more than half of Huntington County in two series: Blount, somewhat poorly drained, with a water table perched half a foot to two feet down in normal years, and Pewamo, very poorly drained, in the low spots. Both farm well once tiled, and both stay soft through winter and spring. Late summer to the first hard frost is the time to bring a machine onto a low field edge or a woodlot floor. The Huntington forestry mulching cost guide explains how ground and growth show up in a quote.

Autumn olive does not stay cut. Indiana DNR reports it in every county of the state, in pastures, fields and thin woodlands, and warns that cutting can bring it back with vigorous resprouting. Mulching opens the fence row; a treatment of the stumps or resprouts by your licensed applicator, and a check the next season, keep it open. The autumn olive removal guide sets out the order.

Ask the right office first. Inside the city, ask the City of Huntington's building and planning office at 300 Cherry Street. Outside it, the Huntington Countywide Department of Community Development handles permits and floodplain questions for the county and its towns. Many field ditches and tiles are regulated drains, which carry a 75-foot drainage easement under Indiana's drainage code and answer to the County Surveyor and the Drainage Board. Disturbing an acre or more of soil brings in IDEM's construction stormwater permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination. Statewide figures are in our Indiana land clearing cost guide.

Huntington Land Clearing FAQ

Ask before booking. Inside the city, the City of Huntington's building and planning office handles permits and floodplain questions. Outside it, and in Andrews, Markle, Roanoke and Warren, ask the Huntington Countywide Department of Community Development. Work near a county regulated drain goes to the County Surveyor, and disturbing an acre or more of soil brings in IDEM's construction stormwater permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Most fence row and field-edge work lands in the $1,500 to $2,500 an acre row, counted by the acreage the strip adds up to, with $1,500 as the minimum charge for a project. All four bands are on the Huntington pricing guide, the Huntington forestry mulching cost guide shows how a long strip converts to acres, and our Indiana land clearing cost guide covers the rest of the state.
Expect it to. Indiana DNR says mowing or cutting autumn olive can cause vigorous resprouting, and that even repeated cutting usually fails without treating the stumps or the resprouts. Our crew cuts and grinds the shrubs; the herbicide step is work for your licensed applicator. Our autumn olive removal guide sets out the full plan.
Late summer to the first hard frost is usually the best window. Most of Huntington County is slow-draining till soil, and a water table close to the surface in winter and spring leaves low fields and woodlot floors soft. A tracked machine can work softer ground than a wheeled one, but timing the job well saves ruts and a second trip.
Six counties in northeast Indiana. Huntington County, with Huntington, Andrews, Roanoke, Markle and Warren. Wabash County, with Wabash, North Manchester, Lagro and La Fontaine.
