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!

Brush Clearing
They did an amazing job getting rid of them pesky vines!
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 elm along an acequia in the North Valley, saltcedar behind a lot in Bosque Farms or juniper on a slope above Tijeras.
Offered from Algodones to Belen and up into the East Mountains. Brush, elm saplings and small trees are ground into a chip mat where they stood, with no pile left to burn.
Overgrown valley lots and juniper acreage cleared to the finish written into your quote, from a chip-covered parcel to ground opened for a barn, an arena or a house.
Elm volunteers and saltcedar cut back from ditch banks, fence lines and the edges of irrigated lots, with the cottonwoods and shade trees you keep left standing.
A house spot, drive and utility path opened on a brushy lot in the valley, on the mesa or in the East Mountains, with the county dust permit question asked first.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land for owners around Albuquerque: valley lots in Los Ranchos, Corrales and the North Valley, acreage down the river in Bosque Farms, Los Lunas and Belen, wooded lots in Cedar Crest, Tijeras and Edgewood, and the mesa around Rio Rancho. The job might be a ditch bank lost to elm volunteers, saltcedar filling the back of a pasture, juniper crowding a house, or a lot nobody has touched in years.
Most of it is forestry mulching. That is not the bark mulch sold for garden beds: our crew runs a tracked machine that grinds standing brush and small trees where they grew, in one pass, so nothing is left to burn or haul. We also offer land clearing, Siberian elm and saltcedar clearing, and lot and homesite prep.
Mulching leaves a chip mat over the soil and keeps the roots of the grass you want in the ground, so dry ground is covered rather than stripped. If you are building, we clear to the ground so your builder can grade.
Clearing around Albuquerque is mostly invasive trees on irrigated ground and juniper in the hills. The method has to spare the trees you keep, leave dry soil covered and settle what happens to the wood.

Valley clay has to dry out first. Down the valley the soil can be heavy clay: the Armijo series, mapped at Belen, is described as very sticky and plastic, and water moves through it very slowly. A lot that was just irrigated will not carry a tracked machine without rutting, so work on ditch-side ground is timed for when it is firm. Up in the East Mountains the question is juniper size and slope instead. The Albuquerque forestry mulching cost guide explains how both show up in a quote.
Siberian elm does not stay cut. New Mexico lists it as a Class C noxious weed alongside saltcedar and Russian olive, and NMSU Extension notes that Albuquerque's pollen ordinance bans selling or planting it in the city. Cut it without killing the crown and it comes back from the roots. Mulching opens the ditch; a stump treatment by your licensed applicator, and a check the next season, keep it open. The Siberian elm removal guide sets out the order.
Ask about the dust permit first. Anywhere in Bernalillo County, a job that disturbs three-quarters of an acre or more of soil, clearing and grubbing included, needs a fugitive dust permit from the City of Albuquerque's Environmental Health Department before work starts. In Sandoval, Valencia and Santa Fe counties, ask the county office. Disturbing an acre or more brings in EPA's construction stormwater permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
