If your land is covered in tall grass, thick brush, or small saplings, regular mowing with a push lawnmower just won’t cut it—literally. That’s where brush hogging comes in. This powerful mowing service clears overgrown fields, trails, and lots to restore visibility, safety, and usability.

At Southern Land Specialist, we offer professional brush hogging to help homeowners, landowners, and developers take control of overgrown properties—quickly and efficiently.

What Is Brush Hogging?

Brush hogging is a form of tractor mowing that uses a heavy-duty rotary cutter (called a brush hog) to slice through:

• Tall grass
• Thick weeds
• Woody stems
• Small trees (up to 4 inches in diameter)
• Brambles and undergrowth

It’s ideal for properties that have become too wild for standard lawn equipment to handle.

When Should You Use Brush Hogging?

Brush hogging is a smart solution when:

• You’ve purchased vacant land and need to clear it
• You’re prepping a site for construction or fencing
• You want to create or reopen trails, paths, or roads
• You’re maintaining pastureland or hunting property
• Overgrowth is attracting pests or creating fire hazards

Whether it’s once a year or seasonally, brush hogging is a key part of land maintenance.

Benefits of Brush Hogging

🌿 Controls Overgrowth

Keeps invasive plants and fast-growing vegetation in check.

🐍 Reduces Wildlife Hazards

Tall grass and dense brush can harbor snakes, rodents, and ticks.

🔥 Lowers Fire Risk

Clearing brush reduces the fuel that wildfires or grass fires feed on.

🏡 Improves Property Appearance

A well-maintained lot boosts curb appeal and shows pride in ownership.

🏗️ Prepares Land for Projects

Brush hogging is often the first step before grading, clearing, or construction.

Brush Hogging vs. Land Clearing: What’s the Difference?

• Brush hogging mows down vegetation but doesn’t remove roots or trees
• Land clearing involves full removal of trees, stumps, and debris
• Brush hogging is ideal for maintenance and light overgrowth
• Land clearing is best for site development and complete transformations

We offer both services depending on your land’s condition and goals.
