WHAT IS BRUSH HOGGING?

Brush hogging (also called bush hogging) is a heavy-duty mowing service designed to cut tall grass, thick weeds, briars, and light saplings in large open areas. Unlike regular lawn mowing, brush hogging uses powerful rotary or flail cutting equipment that can handle vegetation up to 6 feet tall and saplings up to 2 inches in diameter.

Land Grinders uses the Green Climber LV600 equipped with a high-performance flail mower head featuring Y-shaped teeth and bi-directional rotation. This isn't your typical tractor-mounted brush hog—our remote-controlled equipment handles steep slopes, tight fence lines, and challenging terrain that traditional brush hogs can't safely access.

Whether you're restoring neglected pastures, maintaining farm acreage, clearing overgrown fields for development, or preparing land for agriculture in Northern Kentucky, our professional brush hogging services deliver fast, efficient results.

Based in Union, Kentucky, we serve residential, agricultural, and commercial customers throughout Boone County, Kenton County, Campbell County, and the Greater Cincinnati area.

Why Our Equipment Beats Traditional Brush Hogs

Traditional Tractor-Mounted Brush Hogs:

  • Limited to flat or gently sloping terrain

  • Operator exposed to flying debris, heat, and hazards

  • Cannot side-shift for fence line work

  • Heavy tractors can cause soil compaction

  • Requires wide turning radius

Land Grinders' Green Climber LV600:

  • Works on slopes up to 60 degrees safely

  • Remote operation keeps operator 500 feet away from hazards

  • 16-inch side-shift reaches fence lines and tight areas

  • Low ground pressure prevents soil damage

  • Compact design navigates tight spaces

Bi-Directional Rotation Advantage

The flail head can rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise, allowing us to:

  • Tackle tough, matted vegetation more effectively

  • Reverse rotation to clear jammed material

  • Extend cutting blade life by alternating wear patterns

  • Maintain consistent cutting power in dense conditions

OUR BRUSH HOGGING PROCESS

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment
We visit your property in Northern Kentucky to evaluate acreage, vegetation density, terrain, and access points. You'll receive a clear, upfront quote based on your specific needs.

Step 2: Site Preparation
We identify any obstacles (rocks, stumps, hidden structures) and mark features you want preserved. For fence line work, we verify fence condition before clearing.

Step 3: Brush Hogging
Using the Green Climber LV600's flail head, we systematically cut vegetation across your property. The bi-directional rotation and side-shift capability allow us to work efficiently even in challenging conditions.

Step 4: Final Inspection
We walk the property with you to ensure complete coverage and answer questions about ongoing maintenance.

Timeline: Most properties are cleared at a rate of 1-3 acres per day depending on vegetation density and terrain. Large commercial acreage projects are scheduled based on scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Brush hogging costs in Northern Kentucky typically depend on acreage, vegetation density, and terrain difficulty. Light grass on flat land costs less per acre than thick brush on steep slopes. Land Grinders provides free on-site estimates with transparent pricing. Most properties range from $500 per acre depending on conditions, with volume discounts available for larger acreage. Contact us at (859) 455-6165 for your free assessment.

  • Regular lawn mowers are designed for maintained grass under 6 inches tall. Brush hogging uses heavy-duty equipment with thick, durable blades or flail teeth designed to cut tall grass (up to 6 feet), thick weeds, briars, and saplings up to 2 inches in diameter. Brush hogs can handle rough terrain, rocks, and vegetation that would destroy a regular mower. If your property hasn't been mowed in months or years, you need brush hogging—not regular mowing.

  • Yes. Unlike traditional tractor-mounted brush hogs that are limited to flat or gently sloping terrain, our Green Climber LV600 can safely brush hog slopes up to 60 degrees. The remote-controlled operation keeps our crew safe while the expandable tracks provide stability on steep hillsides. If you have pastures, fields, or embankments too steep for traditional equipment, we can handle it.

  • Most agricultural and residential properties benefit from brush hogging once or twice per year—typically in late spring (May-June) and late summer/early fall (August-September). This prevents woody vegetation from becoming established and keeps fields usable. Properties with aggressive weed growth may need more frequent service. Neglected land that hasn't been mowed in years may require initial heavy clearing followed by regular maintenance.

  • Our Green Climber LV600 uses low ground pressure rubber tracks that distribute weight evenly, minimizing soil compaction and preventing ruts—even on soft or wet ground. The flail head's floating design follows ground contours for an even cut without scalping. Traditional heavy tractors can cause significant soil compaction and damage, especially on pastures. Our equipment is specifically designed to protect your land while delivering professional results.

  • Absolutely. The 16-inch hydraulic side-shift (8 inches each direction) allows us to cut right up to fence lines without repositioning the machine or driving over fencing. This is a major advantage over traditional brush hogs that require wide clearance. We can clear fence rows, property boundaries, and tight areas efficiently and safely.

  • We handle properties of all sizes. Small jobs (half acre) and large commercial acreage (50+ acres) are both welcome. Our equipment is efficient enough to make small jobs cost-effective while powerful enough to tackle large-scale clearing quickly. Contact us to discuss your specific property—if it needs brush hogging, we can do it.
