Brush Clearing in Pleasant View, TN

Brush Clearing · Pleasant View, TN

Overgrown yards and lots cleared back to usable ground

Brush clearing gets an overgrown yard or lot back under control. Briars and privet fill the back corner. Honeysuckle and vines climb the fence row until the property line disappears. We clear that growth with a compact track loader running a forestry mulcher head or a brush cutter.

This is the yard and lot side of our land clearing around Pleasant View. When thick growth covers whole acres of woods, that job is forestry mulching. Phillips Land Services works for homeowners and landowners in Pleasant View and the towns nearby. Call or text (931) 265-1151 and we will look at the job.

What does brush removal take off a yard or lot?

Brush removal starts where the growth gets in your way. That is often the back edge of a yard or a fence row lost under vines. Briars, privet, honeysuckle and small saplings make up the usual mix. Creek banks and property lines close in the same way.

The track loader runs a brush cutter or a forestry mulcher head, whichever fits the growth. The mulcher head grinds brush and saplings up to about 6 to 7 inches across where they stand. Trees bigger than that are a job for a tree service.

It helps to mark the property line before we start, if you know where it runs. Point out anything hidden in the brush, like old fence wire or a well head.

Overgrown lot clearing around Pleasant View

Privet first came here as a hedge plant. The Tennessee Division of Forestry says it escaped from yards and now grows wild. The Tennessee Invasive Plant Council lists Chinese privet and bush honeysuckle as invasive plants found across the state. Japanese honeysuckle and multiflora rose are on that list too.

Privet often forms dense thickets along fence rows, the council says. Bush honeysuckle leafs out earlier in spring than native plants and holds its leaves later into fall. That head start lets it crowd out the plants around it.

Late fall and winter make this brush easy to spot. Privet keeps much of its green through the cold months. Bush honeysuckle holds its red berries into winter, after other shrubs lose their leaves.

Underbrush clearing and what the ground looks like after

Underbrush clearing takes the undergrowth out from under the trees you want to keep. The bigger trees stay standing, and you can see into the woods again. You get the shady corner of the yard back and keep the shade.

After brush clearing, a layer of mulch covers the ground where the brush stood. It shields bare dirt from rain and breaks down over time. Saplings are ground off low, and their roots stay in the soil.

Soft ground can show tracks after the machine leaves. Smoothing ruts and low spots afterward is land grading work. If the lot is being cleared to build on, that job is site preparation.

FAQ

Brush Clearing Questions, Answered

Common questions about brush clearing around Pleasant View and the towns between Nashville and Clarksville. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (931) 265-1151

How much does brush clearing cost?
The price comes from how thick the brush is and how big the stems get. Steep or tight ground adds machine time, and so does old wire hidden in the brush. We look at the job and put the quote in writing. Call or text (931) 265-1151 to set that up.
What happens to the brush after you clear it?
The mulcher head grinds the brush where it stands, and the mulch stays on the ground. Growth cut with the brush cutter is chopped up and left in place too. That helps in Cheatham County, where the county's solid waste sites do not take brush.
Can you take out trees and stumps too?
The mulcher head takes saplings and small trees up to about 6 to 7 inches across. Bigger trees are a job for a tree service. Stump grinding is another trade as well.
Will the brush grow back?
Some of it will, because privet and bush honeysuckle both sprout again from their roots. The Tennessee Invasive Plant Council says repeated cutting controls privet's spread but will not wipe it out. On an open lot, bush hogging once or twice a year keeps the sprouts down. Herbicide spraying is not part of our work.
Can you clear brush along a creek bank?
Yes, creek banks are part of brush clearing. Cutting the brush leaves its roots in the bank, and roots help hold the soil. Work in the creek itself is different. Under Tennessee's water quality law, changing a stream can take a TDEC permit, so check with TDEC first.
Do you take small brush clearing jobs?
Yes. We take on jobs from a few hours of machine time up to full-property clearing. A grown-over fence row or one brushy corner of a yard is a normal brush clearing job. Call or text (931) 265-1151.
