The McNairy County Bush Hogger Who Shows Up
Land that stops getting mowed for a season fills in with briars and broomsedge. After two seasons, you’ve got saplings. After three, you’re looking at a small thicket. The longer it sits, the harder it is to bring back — and the harder it is to find someone with the right equipment to handle it.
Quotes are free and in writing. Most jobs we can give you a number over the phone once we know acreage, growth height, and access. Call (731) 982-2017 and tell us what shape the property’s in.
What We Bush Hog
From a single-acre fence line to a 40-acre reclamation that hasn’t seen a tractor in five years — we handle the kind of rough mowing residential equipment can’t finish.
Overgrown Field & Lot Clearing in McNairy County, TN
Fields that have sat a year, two years, or longer get tackled with the right cutter for the job. We knock down briars, sapling regrowth, broomsedge, johnsongrass, and woody brush in one or two passes depending on density. Result: a clean, mowable field you can walk, hay, graze, plant, or just look at without losing your line of sight.
Brush and saplings grow into barbed wire, push posts out of plumb, and shade out the bottom strand until your fence sags or breaks. We clear both sides of the fence line back several feet with the rotary cutter, leaving the wire intact and visible for repair. Annual or every-other-year passes keep fences working without rebuilding.
Pasture & Hayfield Reclamation in McNairy County, TN
Pasture that hasn't been mowed in 3+ years needs more than one trip with a rotary cutter. We knock down the canopy on the first pass, let it dry, then come back with a closer cut to chop the windrow flat. Combined with a follow-up herbicide plan (handled by you or a local sprayer we trust), reclaimed ground is ready to fertilize and reseed.
Hunting Land & Food Plot Prep in McNairy County, TN
Pre-season work on hunting tracts: bush hog new food plots, recut existing ones, open shooting lanes from stands and blinds, mow trails for ATVs, and clear the brush ring around tower stands and box blinds. We schedule hunting jobs Aug–Sep so plots are ready to disc and plant before the first frost.
Pond Bank & Creek Bank Clearing in McNairy County, TN
Pond banks turn into a wall of willows, blackberry, and saplings within a season or two if they're not mowed. We bush hog pond dams and pond surrounds where the tractor can safely work, and rough-cut creek banks back from the water line. Result: better access for fishing, easier dam inspection, and less wildlife cover for snakes near the house.
Long driveways, gravel roads on rural property, power and gas line easements, and right-of-way strips that the utility company stopped maintaining. We mow the shoulder back to where you can actually see the ditch line, clear sight distance at field gates and intersections, and handle the kind of rough cuts a residential mower can't touch.
Commercial & Municipal Bush Hogging in McNairy County, TN
For property managers, churches, banks holding foreclosure lots, utility companies, and local government: we handle scheduled rough-mowing on vacant lots, undeveloped commercial parcels, retention pond surrounds, and facility back-acreage. Insurance certificates and W-9 on file. Single jobs, seasonal contracts, or as-needed call-outs.
The biggest complaint about bush hog operators is “I called three guys and nobody called back.” We pick up. If you get voicemail because we’re on a tractor, we call back the same day with a real quote.
Locally Owned, McNairy Based
We live and work in McNairy County. We know which back roads will hold a tractor and trailer, which gates need to be widened first, and how thick the briars get on the south side of which county roads. Less guessing, faster jobs.
The Right Pass for the Job
A single-pass cut on light annual growth is one thing. A three-year reclamation with sapling regrowth needs different equipment, blade type, and pass strategy. We tell you which job you’ve actually got and price it for what it actually takes.
Insured and Honest About Risks
We carry liability insurance and we’ll walk the property with you before we start — flagging hidden stumps, old fence wire, t-posts buried in the brush, sprinkler heads, septic lids, anything that could become a problem. Surprises are bad for both of us.
Written Quotes Before the Job
You see the scope, the access plan, the price, and the estimated finish in writing before any tractor rolls. No surprise charges for “that bonus acre” that wasn’t in the original walk.
Single Jobs or Seasonal Contracts
One-time reclamation on a property you just bought, an annual fence-line pass, or a quarterly schedule for a commercial parcel — we price each job for what it is, and recurring schedules get a discount over one-off rates.

What McNairy County Says About Us
“Bought a place last fall with about 12 acres that hadn’t been touched in years. Briars taller than the truck. They came out, took two passes a couple weeks apart, and now it looks like a field again. Fair price, honest about what it would take.”
“Needed the fence line cleared on both sides before the cows came back to the south pasture. They worked around my schedule, didn’t catch any wire, left the line clean. Hiring them every year now.”
“Got my food plots opened and shooting lanes cut about three weeks before bow season. Done right, no torn-up wheel tracks across the plot, fair price. Already booked for next year.”
Common McNairy County Bush Hogging Questions
How much does bush hogging cost per acre?
It depends heavily on growth height, how long it’s been since the last cut, access, terrain, and whether it’s one pass or two. A clean annual cut on familiar ground prices very differently from a 3-year reclamation full of saplings. We walk the property (or you send pictures), and we quote in writing. Here’s how our quotes work.
How tall can the growth be before you can’t cut it?
A rotary cutter can handle most herbaceous growth up to about head height plus small saplings up to about 2–3 inches in diameter, depending on the cutter rating. Anything bigger than that needs a heavier deck or a forestry mulcher. We tell you which job yours is on the walk-through — sometimes it’s two cheaper passes a few weeks apart instead of one expensive heavy job.
Will you tear up my fence or sprinklers?
Not on purpose. We walk the property first and flag anything buried in the brush — old t-posts, sprinkler heads, water lines, septic lids, downed wire. If it’s flagged, we go around it. If something’s hidden so well neither of us spotted it, we let you know immediately and figure out the fix together.
What time of year is best for bush hogging?
Late spring through early fall is the usual window. For overgrown reclamation, a first pass in early summer followed by a second pass in late summer or early fall gives the best result — the regrowth dies back over winter much faster than a single late-season cut. Hunting-land work we time around your season opener.
