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.
One walk-through, one machine, one finished parcel.
From a brushy half-acre in Hixson to raw development ground off the interstate, four services cover it.
Valley acreage, ridge lots, and development tracts opened up on either side of the state line.
One machine turns standing thicket into a mat that holds sloped ground through the rain.
Homesite prep for the subdivision belt from East Brainerd out to Ooltewah and Apison.
Kudzu, privet, and fencerow overgrowth taken down faster than the city’s famous goats ever managed.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Greater Chattanooga is the rare land market where the first clearing question is not "how many acres?" but "which state?" A parcel in Ooltewah answers to Tennessee: a City of Chattanooga Land Disturbing Permit that kicks in at just 1,000 square feet inside city limits, TDEC stormwater coverage at an acre, and a winter burn-permit season. Twenty minutes south, the same brush on the same ridge in Ringgold or Chickamauga answers to Georgia: land-disturbing permits issued locally even for small sites, a 14-day state notice before larger projects break ground, and a summer ban on debris burning. Same metro, same kudzu, two governments. Clearing land here starts with knowing which set of rules your dirt reports to.
Cut Brush brings four services to the Chattanooga area: land clearing for homesites and acreage, forestry mulching as the low-impact method behind most of our work, lot clearing for the building boom east of the city, and brush clearing for ground the mower lost years ago. Every quote follows a walk-through of your actual parcel, and every job is planned around the permits, buffers, and slopes that parcel carries.
The metro added roughly 31,200 residents between 2020 and mid-2025 and is closing in on 595,000, with jobs doing the pulling: Volkswagen's ~4,500-person plant, Novonix's battery-materials investment of up to $2.1 billion at Enterprise South, and McKee Foods' Collegedale headquarters. Housing is sprinting to catch up, from nearly 400 homes rising in one East Brainerd development to 430 proposed off Highway 153 in Hixson and a 321-acre Apison tract, with Pratt, GreenTech, and D.R. Horton all building. At a mid-to-high $300s median, every wooded parcel along those corridors is one clearing job away from being the scarcest thing in the market: a buildable lot.
The terrain sets the method. This is Ridge and Valley country: sandstone-capped mountains over limestone valleys that run on karst, with some of the state's highest sinkhole concentrations, enough that TDEC publishes stormwater guidance specifically for karst ground. Slope and subsurface get read before the machine does anything. The vegetation matches the drama: kudzu here is famous enough that the city once hired goat herds to fight it on Missionary Ridge, and Chinese privet has led the Georgia Forestry Commission's "Dirty Dozen" invasive list since 2009.
And the state line splits the paperwork: Tennessee-side projects answer to the city's 1,000-square- foot disturbance trigger and TDEC's one-acre stormwater permit, while the Georgia side routes permits through local issuing authorities with a 14-day state notice and a summer burn ban in Catoosa and Walker counties. The FAQ below covers the details; the short version is that we sort out which rulebook your dirt reports to before quoting, and mulch-in-place work often stays below the triggers on both sides.
Hamilton and Bradley counties in Tennessee, plus Catoosa and Walker counties across the Georgia line.
