When the Brush Gets Out of Hand, It's Time to Clear It.
An area that was easy to maintain a few years ago can quickly become a tangle of tall grass, weeds, saplings and thick brush. Before long, it's difficult to mow, walk through or even see what's underneath.
R&H Tractor Services helps homeowners, acreage owners and property managers in Hastings and surrounding West Michigan communities tackle vegetation that's become too much for ordinary lawn equipment.
Whether you're opening up an overgrown backyard, cutting back brush along a property line or clearing a field that's been neglected for years, we'll help determine the right scope for the job.
What Can We Help You Clear?
We handle a range of overgrown-property problems, from heavy vegetation in residential yards to brush-covered rural acreage.
Overgrown Yards & Lots
Cut back dense weeds, brush and saplings that have taken over neglected sections of residential property.
Brush Hogging
Tackle tall grass, weeds and heavier vegetation in fields, open lots and areas that conventional mowing equipment cannot reasonably maintain.
Brush & Sapling Removal
Clear unwanted woody growth and small saplings where vegetation has become too dense to manage by hand.
Fence Lines & Property Edges
Open up overgrown boundaries, fence lines and property edges to improve access and ongoing maintenance.
Overgrown Fields & Acreage
Bring neglected open areas back under control so they're easier to inspect, access and maintain.
Commercial Property Clearing
Address unwanted vegetation around commercial lots, unused land and other properties requiring heavier clearing.
Too Overgrown for Your Lawn Mower?
Once an area is filled with thick weeds, brush, woody stems and saplings, mowing it with ordinary lawn equipment may no longer be practical.
Brush hogging and heavier vegetation-clearing equipment can make short work of suitable overgrown areas. The right approach depends on the size of the growth, terrain, access and what may be hidden underneath.
- Tall weeds and heavy field growth
- Overgrown backyards and rural lots
- Unwanted brush and small saplings
- Areas difficult to reach with ordinary mowers
Brush Clearing or Full Land Clearing?
Not every overgrown property needs complete land clearing. If your goal is to knock down heavy vegetation, open up access or make an area manageable again, brush clearing may be the appropriate starting point.
But if you're removing larger trees, addressing stumps and roots, or preparing a site for construction, the project may require more extensive land clearing, excavation and grading.
- Brush clearing for unwanted surface vegetation
- Land clearing for larger property transformations
- Additional excavation for building-site preparation
- Grading when the ground needs reshaping
Sound Familiar? These Are the Properties We Can Help With.
Most brush clearing projects start with a simple problem: the vegetation has grown beyond what the property owner can reasonably manage.
The Backyard That's Disappearing
Brush and saplings have gradually taken over the rear portion of a property, leaving less usable yard each year.
The Field Nobody Has Mowed in Years
Tall weeds and woody growth have made an open area difficult to maintain with ordinary equipment.
The Property Line You Can't Reach
Thick vegetation has grown along fences, boundaries or access routes, making inspection and upkeep difficult.

Brush Clearing & Brush Hogging FAQs
What's the difference between brush hogging and land clearing?
Brush hogging generally cuts down tall grass, weeds and suitable brush using heavy-duty mowing equipment. Full land clearing can involve more extensive tree, stump and root removal, along with excavation or site preparation.
Can you clear an overgrown backyard?
Yes. R&H handles residential brush clearing projects. Access, vegetation density, obstacles and the size of the area determine the approach.
Can you remove small trees and saplings?
Brush clearing can include suitable saplings and woody vegetation, depending on their size and the equipment required. Larger trees may need a different clearing method.
Will brush clearing remove the roots?
Not necessarily. Cutting vegetation above ground is different from removing roots and stumps. If you need the area prepared for a lawn, driveway or construction, let us know so the additional work can be discussed.
Can you clear brush along fences and property lines?
Yes, depending on equipment access and site conditions. Clearly marked boundaries and known obstacles are important when planning work near fences and property lines.
What happens to the cleared vegetation?
Material handling depends on the clearing method and the agreed scope. Cutting or mulching vegetation is different from collecting and hauling material away. Tell us how you'd like the area left.
How much does brush clearing cost?
The cost depends on the area, vegetation density, terrain, access and whether additional debris removal or ground preparation is needed. For larger projects, see our West Michigan lot clearing cost guide . A property-specific estimate is the best way to establish the actual price.
What do you need to provide an estimate?
Provide the property address, approximate clearing area, type of vegetation and your desired finished result. Photos of the overgrown area and access routes are especially helpful.
