Brush Hogging Services

We at D R Excavation work on brush-hogging for individual property owners and with companies as well. We also can be found working with local governments, residential communities and other institutions to maintain a clean environment for the public.


We offer brush hogging services to clean up all kinds of land, working on areas that are just too rough for your typical lawnmower.


Brush hogging works great to keep overgrowth down in areas where brush, trees and bushes are getting a hold on your property.


Our brush hogger machinery can be used to control different types of brush and overgrowth, by using an assortment of different tools such as tractors and dedicated brush hoggers.


It can rip through bushes without an impact on surrounding plant life, small hand tools that pick out leaves from shrubs or trees in one swift movement.

Brush Clearing

Brush clearing is the process of removing brush or other small trees and shrubs from a construction site. It may be required to remove these plants during excavation, transportation, plant renovation, landscaping projects, or any other type of project that involves foliage removal.


Typically we do brush clearing when our customer or company that owns a land wants to clear all vegetation, shrubs, and trees in their area. The purpose behind this process is to make sure there are no gaps where animals could squeeze their way through, shed leaves into fields or house foundations, clog streams with twigs and branches as well as create fire hazards.


Other applications include trimming around tree plantings or other agricultural projects - where overgrowth is strong and a simple mower won't do the trick, brush clearing can help bring the land back into submission. We can bring the overgrowth back down to a level where it can be more easily maintained by the land owner.

Brush Clearing Services

Brush clearing services are designed to manage the new growth of scrub vegetation, which is one of the factors that contribute to wildfire spread.


These brush clearing activities have become vital in reducing fire risk and preventing wildfires from spreading across a landmass or community. It also helps with wildlife habitat as well as natural resource management efforts such as sustainable timber harvest and forest health improvement projects.


When land goes neglected for a time - even for a season - weeds and bushes get to work growing uncontrolled. Often times, the best solution is to clear the brush out with our brush clearing services.


If you have a piece of property that you want to utilize, but it hasn't been maintained for some time, give us a call for a free estimate on our brush clearing services.

Grubbing in Land Clearing

Grubbing is the removal of tree stumps, roots and other organic matter from a piece of property. We provide grubbing services to clear your land so that you can develop it or use it for another purpose.


When doing land clearing projects, the typical grubbing process involves digging out the stumps and roots with a backhoe or skid steer. We then load them on to our trucks for disposal in an environmentally safe manner. Grubbing refers to a compacting process that is capable of breaking rocks and soil into small pieces. This process can be done by either machines or labor.


Grubbing can be quite challenging because it requires doing physical labor under tough conditions. However, at D R Excavation, we are equipped with the man-power and the equipment to do the job right.

What We Offer

Grading in construction is a versatile art. Start with rough grading, shaping the canvas. Fine grading refines for precision. Slope grading crafts inclines, while contour grading ensures optimal drainage. Fill and cut grading balances earth's equation. Each type plays a vital role, harmonizing to create a project on solid ground.

  • Grubbing

    We are often asked about what exactly is a grubbing service. In the pre-work phase of grubbing, the land is cleared of all trees, brush, stumps and debris. Grubbing services are most often used in conjunction with other excavation work such as septic system installation or new home construction.


    The equipment we use most often to complete our grubbing service is a skid steer with an hydraulic tree shear attachment. This machine is used to cut down trees and brush in preparation for the excavation work that will follow.


    Grubbing services are simply a part of the overall process of excavation work. If you are looking to have your land cleared of trees and brush, please feel free to contact us for a free quote!

  • Bush Hog Mowing

    Bush hog mowing is the process of cutting and cultivating a field, usually in rows, with a tractor that has a front-mounted or side-mounted mower. We are called upon for brush hog mowing services when an individual has a large area of land that needs to be cleared. We also offer bush hog services for those who need their lawn mowed but don't want to use the traditional means of cutting grass.


    Most often, the people who reach out to us for brush hog mowing services are looking for a specific type of vegetation to be removed. We offer brush hog mowing services that are designed to remove unwanted trees and shrubs, as well as invasive vines and other plants.


    If you have an area that's overgrown with these types of plants, our brush hog mowing services can get the job done. Bush hog mowing services are perfect for those who have a large area that needs to be cleared and maintained, but don't have the heavy equipment to handle the task of removing unruly overgrowth themselves.

Our Grading Process

Revamping your landscape? Here's the quick scoop on land grading. Step one: Survey the lay of the land. Step two: Heavy equipment reshapes it. Precision is the name of the game.

  • Finishing Step

    After we've excavated an area and removed all the dirt, rocks and debris, it's time to grade the site. This is a critical step in the process, because it helps to ensure that the finished project is level and stable.


    We use a variety of tools to grade the site, including shovels, rakes and tractors. First, we rough out the area with shovels and rakes.


    Then, we use the tractors to push the remaining material around until everything is level. We may even use a laser level to make sure that the site is perfectly flat.

  • Levels the Ground

    Once the area is clear, a grader is used to level the soil. The grader is a large piece of equipment with a blade that can be adjusted to different angles.


    The blade is used to push the soil around, and the operator may need to make several passes over the same area to achieve the desired results. After the soil has been leveled, it can then be compacted to create a stable foundation for construction.


    Grading is an important part of preparing a site for development, and it can help to ensure that the finished project meets all of the necessary standards.

  • Smoothing the Top Layer

    If you've ever been driving on a construction site, you've probably seen a machine called a grader. Graders are used to smooth out the top layer of soil, creating a level surface for construction. The blade on the grader is angled so that it can push soil in any direction. This allows the operator to push soil uphill, downhill, or sideways.


    Graders are also equipped with a wheel underneath the blade.This wheel helps to level out low spots and can be used to create a crown in the center of the road. By grading the surface of the construction site, the excavation company can ensure that the finished product is level and smooth.

  • Surveying the Grading Site

    When you are planning a construction project, it is important to have accurate information about the site. This includes studying and analyzing a variety of conditions, such as the underlying facilities or structures. To get this information, a grading and excavating contractor will survey the project site.


    Surveying is an essential part of preparing for any construction project. By taking measurements and studying the land, contractors can determine the machinery best suited for the job and how many workers it will take to complete it on schedule.


    Site preparation includes things like surveying, cleaning up the land, and preparing for construction. It is an important step in getting your project off to a good start.


    Site grading is a process that helps with construction projects. Grading takes place before any actual construction work begins and ensures that everything goes smoothly once work starts. By leveling out the ground and removing obstacles, grading makes it easier for workers to move around and do their job effectively.

  • Developing the Site

    Site grading is an important process that needs to be done before any construction project can begin. We will work with you to determine the best way to grade the site, based on your desire and our experience and professional training.


    The process of grading begins with clearing the land by removing all trees, shrubs, rocks, and other obstructions. Once the land is cleared, heavy machinery such as backhoes, cranes, and hydraulic compact excavators are used to dig up soil or rocks into trenches or holes of required depths.


    Once the grading is complete, workers will use shovels and rakes to level out the ground. This step is very important because it ensures that the foundation of the building will be stable and even. If the ground is not leveled correctly, it could lead to problems such as cracks in the walls or roofing, sinking foundations, and more.

  • Site Grading & Dust Control

    Dust control is an important part of any excavation or grading project. Without it, the area can become extremely dusty and dangerous. Not only can dust cause respiratory problems for workers on the site, but it can also damage nearby buildings and property.


    Of course, in this case, choosing the right finish material and substrate for your top layer of graded land will help to create a solution for long term dust control.


    At our excavation company, we use grading to help ensure long term dust control. By removing the top layer of soil and graded it level, we create a smooth, hard surface that minimizes the amount of dust that is created when vehicles travel over it.


    In addition, we use special equipment to compact the soil, making it even more dense and less likely to be disturbed by traffic. The end result is a road or parking lot that is much less dusty than one that has not been properly graded. This process may take a little bit longer upfront, but it pays off in the long run by reducing the amount of maintenance required to keep the area free of dust.

  • Erosion Control & Grading

    Erosion control is a critical part of any land grading project. If the permit allows for topsoil removal and there are no erosion control plans in place, contractors should be extra vigilant about their work. Poor erosion control can result in significant damage to the surrounding area.


    When we're excavating a site, one of our most important concerns is preventing erosion. Grading is one of the ways we help to control runoff and keep the soil in place. We start by roughing out the area with our heavy equipment. Then, we use tractors or other smaller machines to fine-tune the grade, making sure that it slopes away from any buildings or other structures.


    We also make sure to leave room for drainage ditches and other erosion control measures. Once the grading is complete, we cover the area with seed, straw, or another type of protective material. This helps to hold the soil in place and prevent erosion until the grass or other vegetation has a chance to take root. By taking these precautions, we can help ensure that your site remains stable and erosion-free.

FAQ's About Brush Hog

  • What are the benefits of brush hog service?

    The most common benefit of brush hogging is that it is a time-efficient and cost-effective way to remove unwanted vegetation. It's also environmentally friendly, as it doesn't require the use of chemicals or other harmful substances to get rid of the plants.

    Brush hogging also helps with cleaning up garbage on land, as well as removing invasive plants that take over the landscape and harm biodiversity (the variety or number of species living in an area).


    We also use this technique as a contractor to help construction workers remove stubborn dirt, leaves, twigs, and small branches from the ground easily. There are many benefits of this process including less manual labor for workmen who would otherwise have more difficulty removing these types of materials manually.


    We can use brush hoggers in the job sites with minimal disturbance to nearby residents or other business owners since they do not generate excessive noise levels like power shovels or earthmovers might produce when operating at full capacity.

  • How much does the brush hog service cost?

    In site preparation, the cost of brush hogging service is typically determined by the size of the area to be cleared and by the type of vegetation that needs to be removed.


    Different factors that can affect this price are the amount of vegetation that must be removed and the type of vegetation to be cleared. The terrain on which the work will be done, and whether it is flat or hilly. Whether or not it is stable and dry, or muddy and rocky, etc. The work will also be affected by the time of year.


    For example, brush hogging service costs are often higher during the spring and fall than they are during summer or winter months. Even fuel costs can play a factor, as we have seen in the past couple of years that the cost of fuel can fluctuate wildly.


    In summary, the cost of a brush hog service depends on the height and thickness of the overgrowth, the area of your property that needs to be brushed or mowed, and how much time it will take.
