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 Durant and Lake Texoma Country

Cut Brush clears overgrown land for owners around Durant, from Calera and Colbert to Madill, Tishomingo and Atoka. That might be a pasture where cedar has crept in from the fence rows, a homesite on a wooded ridge, a lake-country lot that has not been touched in years, or a hunting tract where you cannot see twenty yards.

Most of the work is forestry mulching. Cedar, saplings and brush are ground into mulch where they grew, in one trip over the ground, so there is no pile to burn or haul. We also offer land clearing, redcedar and lake lot clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

We serve Bryan, Marshall, Johnston and Atoka counties. Much of the ground near Durant is heavy, slow-draining clay that was first mapped in Bryan County. To the south and west lies Lake Texoma, an 88,000 acre Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Red River. Eastern redcedar is the tree most owners here want gone. This area is served from outside rather than from a yard in Bryan County, so photos, a parcel map and a clear goal set the scope before anyone travels, and nearby jobs can share the trip.

Sound Familiar?

  • Cedar closing over a pasture that used to carry cattle
  • A lake-country lot so grown up you cannot find the corner pins
  • Clay that turns to grease after rain and cracks open in August
  • A brush pile you cannot burn while the county ban is on

Cut Brush Delivers

  • Cedar ground down to a chip layer and the grass given room
  • Your side of the line opened, with the boundary found first
  • Roots left in the clay and a mulch cover over the surface
  • Nothing piled, so a burn ban never holds up the job

Why Southern Oklahoma Property Owners Choose Cut Brush

Cedar country on heavy clay needs clearing that leaves the ground covered. Mulching takes the trees down and lays a cover behind it.

  • No burn ban to wait out. Oklahoma county commissioners can ban outdoor burning for up to fourteen days at a time and renew it while fire danger lasts. Mulching leaves nothing to burn.
  • Easier on clay. The weight rides on wide tracks instead of tires, which helps on ground that holds water for days after a storm.
  • Per-acre bands in public. The Durant pricing page lists the range for each kind of work, by the acre rather than by the hour.
  • Scope and price on paper. When we confirm we can take your job, both are written out before work starts.
  • Set up for cedar. A mulching head handles redcedar from knee-high seedlings to trees too thick to mow.

The Oklahoma land clearing cost guide gives the statewide picture. Larger tracts and longer jobs suit a trip from outside the area best, though a single acre is still worth asking about.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Durant

The lakeshore is federal land. The Corps of Engineers impounded Lake Texoma in 1944, and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation lists Bryan, Johnston, Love and Marshall as its Oklahoma counties. Under federal rules for Corps lakes, a private owner may cut, prune or remove vegetation on project land only in certain shoreline areas and only under a permit, and the permit holder marks the government property line. A deed that reads like a lake lot can stop well short of the water, so the boundary is found before the quote is written, and work stops at your side of it. Our guide to clearing cedar on Lake Texoma land covers what to check.

Durant clay holds water, then cracks. The USDA's Durant soil series, first established in Bryan County in 1906, is a very slowly permeable clay with high runoff even on nearly level ground. In dry spells it cracks more than a centimeter wide and thirty inches deep. A tracked machine on that soil after a storm leaves ruts and slows down, and bared clay sheds water fast. Leaving roots in place under a chip layer is usually the cheaper and steadier finish, and the state's OKR10 stormwater permit applies once a job disturbs an acre or more.

Floodplain and burning rules sit with local offices. Inside Durant, Community Development handles floodplain determination and offers pre-development meetings on drainage. Out in the county, the Bryan County floodplain administrator regulates development that would affect flooding. Burn bans are passed county by county. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination. The Durant and Bryan County permit guide sets out who to call and in what order.

Durant Land Clearing FAQ

Sometimes. Statewide, clearing that disturbs one acre or more needs coverage under the Oklahoma DEQ construction stormwater permit, OKR10. Inside Durant, the Community Development Department handles zoning, building permits and floodplain determination, and the city invites a pre-development meeting on drainage; no separate clearing permit appeared on its permit list. Outside town, the Bryan County floodplain administrator regulates development that would affect flooding. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination. Our Durant and Bryan County permit guide cites each rule.
Most work falls between $1,500 and $4,500 an acre, priced by the acre rather than by the hour. Thinning young cedar out of pasture sits near the bottom; a wooded ridge of dense, large timber mulched down to ground level sits near the top. Wet clay and how far the machine travels in move a figure most. All four bands are on the Durant pricing guide, and the mulching figure is explained in the Durant forestry mulching cost guide.
Only the part you own. Lake Texoma was built by the Army Corps of Engineers, and federal rules allow vegetation cutting by private owners on Corps land only in certain shoreline areas and only under a Corps permit. The quote covers your side of the government line, and anything past it is the Corps' decision. Our guide to clearing cedar on Lake Texoma land covers what to check first.
New seedlings will, because birds keep carrying the berries and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission notes that hundreds of seedlings can appear in a year. The trees that are ground down are gone. A follow-up pass every few years, while the new cedar is still small, costs far less than the first clearing.
Four counties. Bryan, with Durant, Calera, Silo, Mead, Achille, Colbert, Caddo, Cartwright, Bokchito and Bennington. Marshall, with Kingston, Madill, Cumberland and Oakland. Johnston, with Tishomingo, Milburn, Ravia and Wapanucka. Atoka, with Atoka and Caney. If your land is in one of those counties, ask even when your community is not named.
