Overgrown brush, invasive plants, and dense undergrowth not only make your property look unkept — they can also create serious fire hazards and restrict land use. Rugged Land’s brush clearing services are designed to help you reclaim, protect, and improve your land, whether it's for wildfire mitigation, pasture restoration, or preparing for future projects.

How Does the Brush Clearing Process Work?
Our process is built around efficiency, safety, and land stewardship:
Site Assessment: We start with a free walkthrough and consultation to assess terrain, brush density, and your goals.
Estimate and Plan: You receive a detailed quote based on acreage, terrain difficulty, brush thickness, and any hauling or disposal needs.
Scheduling: Once the estimate is approved, we schedule your project and coordinate any required equipment rentals.
Clearing and Clean-Up: Using a combination of skid steer attachments, chainsaws, and hand tools, we clear the brush and haul away debris if requested.
Final Walkthrough: We review the work with you to ensure your satisfaction before completing the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size properties does Rugged Land work on?
A: Rugged Land specializes in smaller-scale brush clearing projects. Because we operate as a two-person crew, we typically focus on properties up to two acres in size. This allows us to deliver high-quality results without rushing or cutting corners.
Q: How do you price brush clearing services?
A: Pricing is typically based on a per-hour or per-acre rate, depending on the terrain difficulty and brush density. During the consultation, we provide a clear breakdown so there are no surprises.
Q: Can you clear steep or rough terrain?
A: Yes. Rugged Land is equipped to handle moderate to difficult terrain. For very steep or hazardous areas, we'll assess the site first and recommend the safest approach.
Q: What equipment do you use?
A: We use a tracked skid steer with specialized attachments like a brush mower, root grapple, and tree grubber, along with chainsaws and hand tools for detailed work. We also rent additional specialized equipment when needed to complete the job efficiently.
Q: Will you haul away the cleared brush and debris?
A: Yes, we offer hauling services. We can transport cleared material to a landfill or designated burn pile depending on the property owner's preference. Hauling costs are included as a separate line item on your estimate.
Q: Can you selectively clear around trees I want to keep?
A: Absolutely. We take pride in preserving healthy, desirable trees and carefully clearing around them when requested.
Q: How soon can you start after I approve the estimate?
A: Start times vary depending on our current schedule and weather conditions, but we always aim to begin projects as soon as possible. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when we submit your quote.
Q: How much land can you clear in a day?
A: The amount varies based on brush density and terrain. On average, we can clear between 0.5 to 2 acres per day under moderate conditions. During the consultation, we’ll give you a realistic time estimate based on your specific property.
Q: Is brush clearing the same as land clearing?
A: Not exactly. Brush clearing focuses on removing thick undergrowth, small trees, and surface vegetation. Full land clearing often involves removing large trees, stumps, and topsoil preparation — which may require additional heavy equipment.
