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.
The state counts acreage before you start, so we do too.
From a grown-over lot in Irmo to planted pine out toward Winnsboro.
Homesites, tracts, and timber ground opened across Richland, Lexington, and Kershaw County, with the acreage tiers checked before we schedule.
Understory and regrowth ground into a mat in one pass, leaving cover on sandy Midlands ground instead of a bare surface.
Planted pine with an understory that has closed in, opened back up so the stand and the ground beneath it can both work.
Build pads, drives, and utility runs on sandhill ground, with the trees you want kept flagged before a machine moves.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
South Carolina's population grew faster than any other state in 2025, as it did in 2024. Richland County sits near 434,956 residents and Lexington County added roughly 3,500 people between 2024 and 2025 to reach about 317,588, eighth among the state's counties. The most visible change is north of the city, where Scout Motors is building its first manufacturing plant at Blythewood, a $2 billion investment with the potential to create 4,000 or more permanent jobs, and where apartment and retail developers have been signing letters of intent on the strength of it.
Growth like that starts with ground being opened. Cut Brush serves the Midlands with land clearing for tracts, homesites, and pine ground, and forestry mulching as the single-pass method behind most of it. Ranges are on the Columbia pricing guide.
How many acres you disturb. South Carolina gates land disturbance in tiers, and the first one starts below an acre. Under one acre in a non-coastal county means a notification form and, once coverage is ruled out, a letter of exemption. One to two acres means Construction General Permit coverage in hand before any clearing, grading, or excavating begins, plus a simplified plan and a SWPPP. Above that, another tier again. The catch most people miss is that a piece of a larger common plan of development needs the full notice of intent no matter how small that piece is.
Which side of the Fall Line the tract sits on. Columbia straddles the boundary between the Piedmont and the Coastal Plain, and the Sandhills belt through it is ancient coastal dunes stranded inland, with sandy soils from coarse marine sediments carrying pine forest, and hardwood confined to narrow floodplains along the streams. Sand drains and works fast. The bottoms hold water and slow everything down. That difference shows up in a quote.
What the land is for next. Pine ground being thinned, pasture being reclaimed, a homesite being opened, and a tract being made presentable for sale are four different finishes, and they price differently per acre. Naming the finish before the walk-through is the simplest way to keep a quote accurate.
Richland County and the counties around it, from the Blythewood corridor to the Lake Murray shoreline and the sandhills south of the city.
