Overgrown fields, neglected fence lines, and right-of-ways that haven’t been mowed in a season or two are a common sight in rural Lincoln County — and once vegetation gets thick enough, a standard mower won’t make a dent. MBP Land Clearing provides professional bush hogging for residential properties, farms, and rural tracts throughout the Taft area, Ardmore, Fayetteville, and the communities north of Huntsville, AL. We run a commercial-grade rotary cutter capable of handling tall grass, weeds, vines, and light woody growth that’s been left unattended for multiple seasons. Whether it’s a one-time cleanup or recurring seasonal maintenance, call (931) 993-6081 for a free estimate.
Bush hogging — also called brush hogging or rotary mowing — is the use of a heavy-duty rotary cutter to cut down thick grass, weeds, vines, and light brush in fields, pastures, fence lines, right-of-ways, and rough terrain. Unlike a standard lawn mower, a bush hog is a heavy-duty implement that attaches to a tractor or skid steer and can cut vegetation several feet tall, including light woody stems up to 2 to 3 inches in diameter. MBP Land Clearing runs a commercial-grade bush hog that handles overgrown residential fields, timber right-of-ways, roadsides, and fence lines without damaging the underlying soil or grade. Brent recommends cutting most fields once or twice per growing season in this part of Tennessee and Alabama to keep vegetation from becoming woody and harder to manage. Properties with heavy privet, sweetgum saplings, or thick blackberry canes may need a more aggressive first cut before regular maintenance intervals apply. For lots with significant timber or large stumps that go beyond what a rotary cutter can handle, land clearing or forestry mulching may be the better first step before bush hogging maintenance begins.
Before the rotary cutter makes a single pass, Brent walks the area to identify hidden obstacles — old fence posts, stumps, debris, or drainage features that could damage the machine or create safety hazards. This step protects both the equipment and your property, and it informs the best cut pattern for the specific terrain.
The skid steer and bush hog are brought to the property with the appropriate trailer. Entry and exit points are confirmed, and the cut pattern is planned to work with the natural contour of the field or fence line. For properties with multiple zones — open pasture, fence lines, right-of-ways — each area is addressed in sequence.
The machine works in overlapping passes at the correct deck height for the vegetation type. Tall, heavy growth gets a higher first pass to avoid clogging, then a second lower pass brings the surface down to a clean, uniform level. For fields with particularly heavy growth, two passes may be included in the initial service.
After the main field passes, the machine works along fence lines, property edges, and any areas that need closer attention. Right-of-ways, ditch banks, and property corners that the main pass can’t reach cleanly are addressed here. The goal is a consistent finished appearance across the entire work area.
Brent does a walk-through of the completed area and addresses any spots that need additional attention. Equipment is loaded and the site is left clean. If you’re setting up a recurring maintenance schedule — common for property owners in Lincoln County — this is a good time to establish the timing and frequency that works best for your land.
MBP Land Clearing provides bush hogging throughout Lincoln County, TN and into northern Alabama. We work regularly in Taft, Ardmore, Frankewing, and Fayetteville, and our service area extends south along State Route 110 and US-431 into the communities north of Huntsville, including Hazel Green and Madison County. Farm tracts, residential acreage, right-of-ways, and commercial frontage are all within our scope.
The fields and fence lines of this part of Tennessee and Alabama grow fast — warm springs and wet summers push vegetation hard, and a property that looks manageable in March can be overgrown by June. We offer both one-time clearing cuts and seasonal maintenance agreements so your property stays ahead of the growth cycle. Contact us through our contact page to set up a schedule.

Bush hogging uses a heavy rotary cutter to mow down thick grass, weeds, vines, and light brush that standard mowers can’t handle. Our commercial-grade bush hog cuts vegetation several feet tall, including light woody stems up to 2 to 3 inches in diameter. It’s effective on overgrown fields, pastures, fence lines, right-of-ways, and rough terrain.
Most fields in this part of Tennessee and Alabama benefit from one to two cuts per growing season — typically once in late spring and again in late summer or early fall. Properties with heavy privet, sweetgum saplings, or blackberry thickets may need a more aggressive initial cut before settling into a regular maintenance schedule.
Yes. We specifically address fence lines, property edges, and right-of-ways as part of every bush hogging job. Cutting close to fence posts and property corners requires slower, more deliberate machine operation, and we take the time to do it correctly.
Bush hogging is typically priced per acre or by the job depending on the property’s size and terrain. Flat, open fields with minimal obstacles cost less than sloped terrain, heavy vegetation, or fence lines with multiple access points. MBP offers free on-site estimates — call (931) 993-6081 to set one up.
Yes. Many of our customers in Lincoln County set up seasonal maintenance agreements to keep their fields and fence lines managed year-round. Recurring customers get scheduling priority and consistent pricing. Ask about maintenance options when you call for your estimate.
