Bush Hogging in Toccoa, GA

Bush Hogging · Toccoa, GA

Overgrown fields and pastures cut back to usable ground

Bush hogging cuts down fields and pastures that have grown up in tall grass, weeds, briars and young saplings. Some people call it brush hogging, and it is the same work. We run a heavy brush cutter on our track loader. It cuts the growth down low and opens the field back up.

Farmers and pasture owners call us when brush has taken over usable acres. We also cut overgrown lots and small airstrips. Bush hogging is part of our land clearing in Toccoa and the Northeast Georgia towns about 60 miles around. Call or text (678) 776-8002 for a free estimate.

Pasture mowing on Northeast Georgia cattle and hay land

Pasture is a big part of the farm land around Toccoa. The 2022 Census of Agriculture found pasture was the largest use of farm land in Stephens and Franklin counties. Hay was the top crop by acres in both. The same census counted more than 19,000 cattle and calves in Franklin County and more than 13,000 in Hart.

A pasture that gets away from you fills with weeds and brush. Fence rows and field edges grow up too, and the usable acres shrink. Bush hogging cuts that growth back so the grass has room again. When a fence row has grown into thick brush, fence line clearing with the mulcher opens it up.

To fix a weedy pasture, the UGA Cooperative Extension forage team says to begin with a soil test. If the pasture needs replanting, UGA's forage guidelines put the soil test and any lime 6 to 12 months ahead. Cutting the old growth down first gives you a clear field for that work.

When is a field too grown up for bush hogging?

A brush cutter is made for tall grass and weeds, along with briars and young saplings. Once saplings grow into thick brush and small trees, the field has gone past mowing. That ground calls for forestry mulching instead.

Our track loader runs both a brush cutter and a forestry mulcher head. On a field with open grass and thick patches, we can match the tool to each part. We look at the field first and show you which parts need which tool. The mulched brush stays on the ground as a mulch layer.

The Georgia Forestry Commission says privet is common across all of Georgia and forms dense thickets in fields. Birds and other animals spread its seed. Cutting a field each season keeps young growth short, so it stays a bush hogging job.

Field mowing for overgrown lots and small airstrips

An overgrown lot hides the lay of the land. Bush hogging cuts the growth down so you or a buyer can see the ground. If you plan to build, site preparation opens the lot further and keeps the mature trees you choose.

Small grass airstrips are field mowing work too. A strip that grows up is hard to use, and regular cutting keeps it open. Once a lot or a strip is cut, a pass each season keeps it from growing back up.

FAQ

Bush Hogging Questions, Answered

Common questions about bush hogging around Toccoa and the Northeast Georgia foothills. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

How much does bush hogging cost?
The price depends on the acreage and how tall and thick the growth is. Saplings and rough ground add time, and so do old wire and stumps hidden in the grass. Larger farm jobs can run more than one day. We look at the field and give you a free estimate, with the quote in writing.
When is the best time to bush hog a pasture?
A good rule is to cut before the weeds go to seed. The UGA Cooperative Extension forage team says mowing is especially good at reducing the seed that broadleaf weeds make. They also say one mowing will not control perennial weeds like thistle. Some farm customers have us back each season.
Is bush hogging the same as regular mowing?
No. A yard mower is built for short grass on smooth ground. A brush cutter is built for tall weeds and saplings on rough ground, and it leaves a rougher cut. That suits a field or pasture that has grown past a yard mower.
What happens to the grass and brush you cut?
It stays on the field. The cuttings dry out where they fall and break down over time. You are left with an open field that is ready to use.
Can you cut steep banks and ditch lines?
Yes. Our mini excavator runs a mulching head that reaches steep banks and ditch lines the track loader cannot. The brush cutter takes the open ground, and the excavator takes the edges.
Do you bush hog outside Toccoa?
Yes. We cover about 60 miles around Toccoa, across Northeast Georgia. That takes in farm country in Franklin and Hart counties and up into the mountains. The towns are listed on our service areas page.
