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 an overgrown fence line outside Plum City to a brushy hillside above Bay City or a wooded lot near Baldwin.
Offered across Pierce County and the river towns on both banks. Brush, buckthorn and young trees are ground to chips where they grew, so there is nothing left to pile, burn or truck out.
A farm woodlot, a grown-up pasture or a brushy coulee opened to the line you set, with trees, brush and stumps ground level with the soil.
Buckthorn thickets and saplings taken out from under the oaks you are keeping, with the return visits for stump sprouts listed in the quote.
Room for a house, a drive and a utility run opened on a rural lot, laid out around the slope before the first tree comes down.
Watch our crew transform overgrown properties with professional forestry mulching equipment.
Cut Brush clears overgrown land around Ellsworth, Wisconsin, the Pierce County seat, from Prescott and Elmwood to Baldwin and Roberts in St. Croix County, down the river to Bay City and Pepin, and over the Mississippi in Red Wing and Lake City, Minnesota. Within fifteen miles of Ellsworth nearly six acres in ten are cropland, pasture or hay and about a quarter is hardwood forest, so the usual job is a farm job: a fence line swallowed by brush, a pasture edge creeping inward, a woodlot filled with buckthorn.
The main tool is forestry mulching: our crew turns brush and small trees into a chip layer where they stood, which keeps the soil covered on sloping ground and leaves nothing to haul. We also offer land clearing, buckthorn and understory clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

Work around Ellsworth usually runs along fences, under oaks and across slopes, so the method has to spare the trees and topsoil you want and cope with buckthorn that fights back.
Comparing bids? The Ellsworth forestry mulching cost guide explains how coulee ground and oak timing move a quote, and the Wisconsin land clearing cost guide covers the state, from shoreland buffers to burning permits.
Ridge top or coulee side. Part of Pierce County, and most or all of Pepin County, lies in the Western Coulees and Ridges: Driftless country the last glaciers missed, cut into steep-walled valleys and ridges under windblown loess. Brush on a level ridge top or a pasture edge is quick ground for a tracked mulcher. The same brush on a coulee side means slower, shorter passes and sometimes a strip left out for safety, so the slope is one of the first things we talk through.
Oaks set the calendar. Oak and hickory make up about half the forest in that landscape, and fresh oak wounds are vulnerable during the high-risk window from April 1 in the South Zone, or April 15 in the North Zone, through July 15. Plan work near keeper oaks after that window. Buckthorn sets the rest: it resprouts from a cut stump, so one pass is the start of a plan. Our Wisconsin buckthorn removal guide sets out the return visits.
Who to ask about permits. Clearing counts toward the DNR's one-acre trigger for construction site storm water coverage, and the whole project counts even when it is done in phases. In the county, Pierce County Land Management in the Ellsworth courthouse administers the shoreland, floodplain, wetland and St. Croix Riverway rules; inside the village limits, ask the Village of Ellsworth. Minnesota rules apply in Red Wing and Lake City. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
