What Brush Hogging Is and When You Need It

Brush hogging uses a heavy-duty rotary cutter to mow down thick, woody growth that a regular mower can’t touch: tall grass, weeds, saplings, briars, and brush. It’s the fastest way to reclaim ground that’s been left to grow, and around Lancaster County there’s plenty of it, from fallow farm fields near Mount Joy to pasture edges, ditch banks, and the back corners of larger properties.

If you’ve got a field you want to keep open, a lot you’re getting ready to use, or an overgrown stretch that’s turned into a haven for ticks and groundhogs, brush hogging clears it in a fraction of the time hand-cutting would take.

How Brush Hogging Keeps Fields Clear

Left alone, an open field doesn’t stay open. Woody invasives like multiflora rose and autumn olive move in from the edges, and within a few seasons a mowable field turns into a thicket. Regular brush hogging keeps that growth knocked back, and it’s a key part of controlling those invasives, which Penn State Extension covers in its guidance on multiflora rose and other invasive shrubs. Keeping a field cut once or twice a year is far easier than clearing it once it’s fully overgrown.

The Brush Hogging Process: What Property Owners Can Expect

  • A free look at the property and a written, flat-rate price
  • Heavy brush, saplings, briars, and tall growth cut down in one pass
  • Attention to rocks, stumps, and obstacles before we start
  • Fence lines, field edges, and hard-to-reach corners handled
  • Ground left open, manageable, and easier to maintain going forward
  • Honest advice on a cutting schedule to keep it that way

Frequently Asked Questions About Brush Hogging

It depends on the acreage, how heavy and woody the growth is, and the terrain. We'll look at the property and give you a firm, written price.

Once or twice a year is usually enough to keep a field open and hold back invasive growth. We'll suggest a schedule based on your property.

Yes. We scout for rocks, stumps, and hidden obstacles first and can work fence lines, edges, and tighter corners.

A brush hog handles tall grass, weeds, briars, and saplings up to a few inches thick. For larger woody growth or trees, we'll fold that into a land clearing plan.

BTS did an outstanding job from the start, estimating the tree removal (2 spruce pines), to safely and efficiently removing the trees located next to a 6’ privacy fence, to completely cleaning up and removing the tree trunks and all branch debris. Nic, Devon and Justin get 2 thumbs up!!
