Bush hogging cuts back overgrown ground that has gotten too thick to mow. Blackwell's Land Management runs a brush cutter on a compact track loader through tall grass, weeds, briars and saplings. We bush hog fields, pastures, vacant lots, fence lines, roadsides and pond banks. The cut opens the land back up so you can see it and use it.
Some jobs are a one-time cut to knock down a field that got away from you. Others are repeat cuts for HOAs and property managers who keep common areas and retention ponds in check. If small trees and small stumps need to come out too, we handle that as land clearing around Duncan. Duncan sits at the center of our service area, and we work about 50 miles around it.
Tell us about the land and what you want done with it. We look at it and put the quote in writing.
The brush cutter is a rotary cutter that runs on the front of a compact track loader. Its blades chop through growth too thick for a lawn mower. The chopped growth falls where it was cut and breaks down over time.
Fence lines and property lines grow up in briars and saplings, and the brush cutter opens them back up. On a vacant lot, a cut before a sale or a build shows the lay of the land. Ruts and low spots are easy to see then, and land grading can level them.
Grass around Duncan has a long season to grow. NOAA's climate data for the Greenville-Spartanburg airport, a few miles west, put the typical last spring freeze on March 28. The typical first fall freeze comes on November 7, about 224 days later.
The state extension service notes that grass gone to seed makes lower quality hay. Clipping a pasture can push the grass back into leafy growth. For that cut, it suggests a height that takes the stems and only a little of the leaves.
It also warns that thick clippings lying on the grass can shade it and slow regrowth. Tell us if you graze the field or cut it for hay, and we plan the cut around that. The plan goes in the written quote.
Many subdivisions have a retention pond that holds storm runoff, and its banks need regular cuts. We bush hog pond banks and common areas for HOAs and property managers. Mowing is the part of retention pond maintenance we handle, as a one-time cut or on a repeat schedule.
The extension service says pond banks with grass mowed to the edge are almost certain to undercut with time. Turf roots do not grow well in wet soil, and the plants at the waterline help hold the bank. Its pond guides say the slope above the shoreline can be mowed regularly. They also call for keeping trees and shrubs on that slope to a minimum.
Before the first cut, we look at the pond and the common areas with the board or the manager. The written quote spells out where the mowing stops at the water. Steep or soft banks change the plan, so we check them on that visit.
