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 fence row gone to brush between two fields, a ditch bank in Cedar Lake or a thicket at the back of a lot in Crown Point.
Offered across south Lake County and the towns around it in Indiana and Illinois. Brush and young trees are ground into a chip mat where they stood, with nothing to burn or haul.
An overgrown lot, a grown-up field corner or a wooded acre taken back to the line you choose, with trees, brush and stumps ground to mulch flush with the ground.
Fence rows, field edges and ditch banks taken back from buckthorn, honeysuckle and saplings, with the sprouts that follow planned for in the quote.
A house spot, drive and utility path opened on a rural lot, with any regulated drain or wet corner marked before the lines are drawn.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land for owners around Lowell, Indiana, from Cedar Lake, St. John and Crown Point down to Hebron, Roselawn and DeMotte, and across the state line in Beecher, Crete and Momence. Most of this country is open field and growing subdivisions, with little woodland, so the work is usually the edges: a fence row that has turned into a hedge of brush, a field corner going back to saplings, a ditch bank, or a buckthorn thicket at the back of a lot.
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, fence row and buckthorn clearing, and lot and homesite prep.
Lowell sits on low, flat ground that drains to the Kankakee River, and much of it stays wet through the cool months. Request a free quote; we'll contact you to discuss your property, access and the clearing you need, and pick the right weeks before the machine arrives.
Clearing around Lowell is mostly lines and edges: the strip along a fence, the margin of a field, the bank of a ditch, the brushy back third of a house lot. The method has to leave the field, the bank and the trees you value in place, and it has to answer the question of what happens to the brush.
Wondering what one acre costs before you call? The Lowell forestry mulching cost guide compares hourly and per-acre quotes, and the Indiana land clearing cost guide covers the statewide rules on permits, burning and invasive shrubs.
Wet lowland sets the calendar. Every watershed in the Town of Lowell drains to the Kankakee River, and the town's own stormwater plan notes soils unsuitable for septic systems are common there. NRCS describes the Maumee soils of these sandy outwash and lake plains as poorly or very poorly drained, with seasonal water from two feet above the surface to one foot below it. A tracked machine ruts that ground in a wet month, so late summer, fall and frozen ground are the cheap windows.
Ditches carry an easement. If your field edge runs along a regulated drain, Lake County's drains carry a 75-foot easement, and work within a drain or its easement goes to the Lake County Drainage Board in Crown Point. Above one acre of disturbance, IDEM's construction stormwater permit applies, and the Town of Lowell inspects permitted sites. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination; the Lowell cost guide explains how the timing and the easement move a quote.
Buckthorn is a fence row plant. An Indiana invasive plant assessment group notes glossy buckthorn came to North America as an ornamental shrub for fence rows and is found mostly in the northern third of the state, from fens and wet prairie to upland woods. Both glossy and common buckthorn are on Indiana's Terrestrial Plant Rule list. It sprouts hard when cut, so plan more than one visit. Our Indiana buckthorn removal guide sets out the plan.
