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 Huntington and the Tri-State

Cut Brush clears overgrown land for owners around Huntington, West Virginia, from Barboursville, Milton and Culloden out to Hurricane and Teays Valley, and across the river in Ironton, South Point, Ashland and Russell. The ground here comes in two kinds: steep wooded hillside rising off the valleys, and flat bottomland along the Ohio and its creeks. A lot is usually one or the other, and the right way to clear it is different for each.

The main tool is forestry mulching: our crew turns brush and young trees into chips right where they stood, so there is no pile to burn, no load to truck away, and the slope keeps a cover over its soil. We also offer land clearing, Callery pear and brush clearing, and lot and homesite prep.

Old fields and roadsides here are filling with escaped Callery pear, the wild offspring of the Bradford pears planted along streets. Request a free quote; we'll contact you to discuss your property, access and the clearing you need before the machine arrives.

Sound Familiar?

  • A hillside behind the house gone to brush and saplings
  • An old field filling with thorny pear seedlings
  • A bottom lot nobody can walk, let alone mow
  • Worry that bare soil on a slope will wash

Cut Brush Delivers

  • Brush ground in place, with the roots left to hold the bank
  • Pear thickets mulched out, with follow-up visits listed in the quote
  • The lot opened to a line you can keep mowed
  • A chip mat left on the slope instead of bare dirt

Why Tri-State Property Owners Choose Cut Brush

Clearing around Huntington is mostly a question of what the ground can take. A hillside needs its roots left in place, a bottom lot may sit in a mapped flood zone, and an old field of pear seedlings needs a plan for what grows back.

  • No burn pile to plan around. In West Virginia's spring and fall fire seasons, outdoor burning is allowed only from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. Mulching leaves nothing to burn.
  • Cover stays on the slope. Grinding brush where it stands leaves a chip mat and the root system holding the bank, instead of bare dirt.
  • Prices you can see first. Every per-acre band is published on the Huntington pricing page.
  • A written quote. The scope and the price are set down before the machine starts, and any return trip for pear sprouts has a line of its own.
  • What the price includes. Brush, small trees and stumps ground to mulch on site, stumps flush with the ground and nothing hauled away. Full stump removal below grade and cutting and hauling very large trees are priced in the quote; grading is left to your builder.

Wondering what a hillside costs before you call? The Huntington forestry mulching cost guide compares mulching a slope with stripping it, and the West Virginia land clearing cost guide covers the statewide figures.

What to Know Before Clearing Land Around Huntington

Steep ground moves. Cabell County has landslide-prone ground, so a hillside clearing plan needs to account for the slope and the soil cover. On a slope, the cheapest protection is usually to leave the roots and a mat of chips in place rather than pull stumps and expose the soil.

Bottom lots and the flood maps. Every West Virginia county and flood-prone city has a floodplain ordinance, and grading, filling or excavating in a mapped flood zone is development that needs a local permit: from the City inside Huntington, from Cabell County outside it. The county's flood maps are being redrawn, including Fourpole Creek, with final maps expected in 2027. Disturbing an acre or more also brings in WVDEP's construction stormwater permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination; across the river, Ohio and Kentucky rules apply. The Huntington cost guide explains how this moves a quote.

Callery pear has escaped. Callery pear holds West Virginia's highest invasive threat rank, and it grows wild in Huntington itself, in shrubby thickets on a slope along Hal Greer Boulevard. A bill to list it as a noxious weed was introduced in the legislature in February 2026. It sprouts hard when cut, so plan more than one visit. Our West Virginia Bradford pear removal guide sets out the plan.

Huntington Land Clearing FAQ

Check with the City of Huntington or Cabell County before starting. Grading, filling or excavating in a mapped flood zone needs a local floodplain permit, from the City in Huntington and the county elsewhere in Cabell, and disturbing an acre or more brings in WVDEP's construction stormwater permit. Requirements vary by parcel, scope and jurisdiction, and the governing authority makes the determination.
Expect $1,500 to $4,500 an acre for most work. Young pear and brush on an open field is the low end; a wooded hillside mulched down to the ground is the high end. A small job is billed at a minimum charge of about $1,500 in total, never as an extra fee. All four bands are listed on the Huntington pricing page, and the Huntington forestry mulching cost guide covers what a hillside costs to mulch or strip.
Expect sprouts. Callery pear readily resprouts after cutting or mowing and sends up new shoots from its shallow roots. Mulching is the first cut; follow-up cuts are what clear it. Our West Virginia Bradford pear removal guide sets out the plan.
Often, depending on the grade and how a tracked machine reaches it. On a slope we usually recommend mulching, which leaves a chip mat and the roots in the bank, rather than pulling stumps. Cabell County has landslide-prone ground, so the slope and access need to be considered before the clearing method is chosen.
Five counties in three states. Cabell County, with Huntington, Pea Ridge, Barboursville, Milton and Culloden; Hurricane and Teays Valley in Putnam County; across the Ohio River, Burlington, South Point, Coal Grove and Ironton in Lawrence County, Ohio; and Ashland in Boyd County and Russell, Flatwoods and Raceland in Greenup County, Kentucky.
