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 honeysuckle thicket below a bluff in La Crescent to a coulee pasture near Westby or a wooded lot outside Holmen.
Offered on both sides of the Mississippi, from La Crescent and Winona to La Crosse and Holmen. Honeysuckle, buckthorn and young trees are ground into chips where they stood, with nothing to burn or haul.
A bluff woodlot, an old orchard gone wild or a coulee pasture opened to the edge you choose, with brush and stumps ground down level with the soil.
Bush honeysuckle and buckthorn taken out from under the oaks and hickories you are keeping, with each return visit for sprouts written into the quote.
Room opened for a house, a drive and the utility runs on a wooded lot, set out around the bluff and the low ground before cutting starts.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land around La Crescent, Minnesota, on the Mississippi across from La Crosse: north to Winona, south to Caledonia, and over the river to Onalaska, Holmen, Sparta and Viroqua. Within fifteen miles of La Crescent about four acres in ten are hardwood forest, with pasture and cropland making up most of the rest, so the usual job is wooded: a bluff lot behind a house, a woodlot gone to brush, a pasture edge in a coulee.
Most jobs start with forestry mulching: our crew turns shrubs and saplings into chips right where they grew, so a slope stays covered and no brush pile is left behind. The other three services are land clearing, honeysuckle and understory clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

Clearing near La Crescent tends to happen on a slope, under hardwoods worth keeping and in shrubs that sprout again, so the method has to hold the soil, spare the good trees and plan for regrowth.

Bench, slope or bluff face. The Houston County Bluffs have some of the greatest vertical relief in southern and central Minnesota, with steep slopes, rock outcrops and bluffs more than 500 feet high; across the river, La Crosse, Vernon, Monroe and Trempealeau counties sit in the steep coulees and ridges of western Wisconsin. A bench or ridge top is quick ground for a tracked mulcher. A slope means slower passes across the grade, and the steepest face is left out of the quote, which you hear about before the job starts.
Honeysuckle sets the follow-up. Old orchards and bluff woods here, the city's own Stoney Point bluff among them, have grown over with buckthorn and honeysuckle, and after the first mowing the sprouts need work in spring and fall. Expect the same on a private lot. Our Minnesota bush honeysuckle removal guide lays out the return visits.
Who to ask about permits. The MPCA's construction stormwater permit applies once a project disturbs an acre or more. Houston County Zoning & Planning in Caledonia handles zoning permits and the Wetland Conservation Act in the townships; inside the city, ask the City of La Crescent. In Minnesota shoreland, intensive clearing in bluff impact zones and on steep slopes is prohibited, and the Wisconsin DNR applies its own one-acre storm water rule across the river. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
