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 cedar-filled draw below the bluffs to a grown-over fence row outside Louisville or an acreage edge near Gretna.
Offered around Plattsmouth and across Cass County. Cedar, brush and young trees are ground into chips where they stand, so there is no pile left to burn.
A bluff pasture, a wooded draw or an acreage gone to cedar opened back to the line you set, with stumps ground level with the soil.
Scattered cedar in grass, fence rows and shelterbelt edges cut back before the stand closes, with the trees you are keeping flagged first.
Room for a house, a drive and the utility runs opened on an acreage, laid out around the slope and any low river ground.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Plattsmouth grew up where the Platte runs into the Missouri, and the land around it shows it: loess bluffs, steep draws, bottom ground along both rivers and rolling acreages back from the edge. Cut Brush clears that ground for owners in Plattsmouth, Beaver Lake, Buccaneer Bay and Louisville, north through Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista and Gretna, south to Nebraska City and Syracuse, and over the river in Glenwood and Council Bluffs, IA. The usual job is a pasture or acreage where eastern redcedar has spread out of the draws and is closing the grass.
Most of it is forestry mulching. Our crew grinds cedar, brush and small trees into chips on the spot, so nothing is piled, nothing needs a burn permit and the roots stay in the slope. We also offer land clearing, young cedar and brush clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

Cedar work on the bluffs comes down to three questions: which trees go, how the machine handles the slope, and what becomes of the wood. Each one has a straight answer before the job starts.
Curious what an acre of cedar costs before you call? The Plattsmouth forestry mulching cost guide weighs mulching against cutting and burning on bluff ground, and the Nebraska land clearing cost guide covers the state as a whole, from the Sandhills to the Pine Ridge.
The bluffs set the pace. The hills around Plattsmouth are loess, wind-laid silt with side slopes as steep as 40 percent along the Missouri, and machines often cannot reach cedar on steep or hard-to-reach ground. On a bluff acreage the grade and the way in decide the hours more than the number of trees, so we talk through both before quoting, and any side too steep to work safely is left out or handled another way.
Cedar started here first. Eastern redcedar was once confined to the open, fire-protected edges of slopes, bluffs and rock outcrops; it has since spread into old fields, pastures and river woods. Once numerous seedlings show above the grass, the problem has already started. Our Nebraska eastern redcedar removal guide explains how to clear a stand and keep it clear.
Permits by the river. Disturbing an acre or more brings in Nebraska's construction stormwater permit. Much of the low ground along the Platte and Missouri is floodplain: the City of Plattsmouth's floodplain development permit lists clearing and grading among the activities it covers, and Cass County Zoning issues floodplain development permits in the rural county. Burning the wood needs a fire chief's permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Cass, Sarpy, Douglas and Otoe counties in Nebraska, from Bennington and Gretna down to Nebraska City and Syracuse, and Mills and Pottawattamie counties in Iowa across the river.
