Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service clears underbrush, cedar thickets, fence lines, and overgrown pasture statewide from three Google listings, rated 5.0 on Google.
A short recording answers first. Press 1 and you're put through.
We read the 1-to-3-star Google reviews of 88 Arkansas clearing and tree companies, and 172 of them were about the work itself. Brush jobs go wrong in the same few ways, so here are the six questions to ask first, with the promise behind each answer.
Landowner forums, not the 172 reviews: cleared land that grew back thicker
Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave and what it will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.
29 of 172 reviews: piles and debris left behind
Your written quote says what happens to every bit of cut material: mulched in place, piled, or hauled away. We walk the site with you before we call the job done.
11 of 172 reviews: stumps left that the owner expected gone
Your quote says how the stumps will be left (ground level, below grade, or removed) and about how thick the mulch will be. We check it with you at the walkthrough.
21 of 172 reviews: damage the crew wouldn't own
If we damage anything (a fence, a gate, a line, a culvert), we tell you before we leave that day, and the fix goes in writing.
12 of 172 reviews: the price changed with nothing in writing
You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. The price changes only if you approve the change in writing first.
61 of 172 reviews: the crew went silent
Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job.
What Arkansas landowners ask Google before they hire someone to clear brush. Each answer starts with the answer.
Cut it, then decide where the cut brush goes. A small patch comes out with a saw, while acreage, cedar thickets, and fence rows are machine work. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service writes on your quote whether the brush is mulched in place, piled, or hauled away.
No, not when it's cut below the lowest green branch. South Dakota State University Extension says eastern redcedar won't sprout from the cut stump. Before we quote, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you what the ground will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.
Bush hogging, also called brush hogging, mows tall grass, weeds, and light brush with a rotary cutter pulled behind a tractor. It keeps cleared pasture and field edges from growing back. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service handles brush hogging and heavier brush clearing as one job.
Not always. Arkansas's construction stormwater permit, ARR150000, counts clearing as construction activity when the construction disturbs 1 acre or more. On the first visit, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you which Arkansas rules may touch your job and who handles each.
Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service is fully licensed and insured. We carry liability insurance and send the certificate on request.
We have the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job. Brush removal, stump work, and a pad or a driveway afterwards can all be one job. The estimate is free, and our lines are open 24/7.
We work statewide from three Google listings: Hindsville, Greenbrier, and Hot Springs. We come to the brush, wherever it is in the state.
Six steps, in order, and what you see at each one.
The person running your job calls you back the same working day. If we can't take your job, we say so on the first call.
You show us the thickets, the cedars, and the fence rows you want cleared, and the trees you want to keep. That walk is what the price is built on.
You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. Your quote comes with a start week.
We call the day before, and again when the crew pulls in. Before the machine starts, we walk and flag the boundaries and anything you want saved.
If the ground is too wet to work without rutting, we tell you and reschedule. Any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.
We walk the site with you before we call the job done. Final payment is due after the walkthrough. Every payment gets a receipt.
Arkansas landowners call it brush clearing, brush hogging, or bush hogging. These are the five kinds of brush jobs we see most, besides cedars and fence lines.
A rotary cutter behind a tractor mows down tall grass, weeds, and light brush. It's the job that keeps a pasture or a cleared field from going back to brush.
Underbrush removal takes out the saplings, briars, and vines under the trees and leaves the timber standing, steep ground included. For heavier timber and stumps, see forestry mulching.
Grazing ground that brush and young trees crept into, cleared back to grass from the field edge in.
Brush cut out of the woods so you can walk, drive a side-by-side, or see down a lane, with the trees left in place.
Brush cut back from the sides of a drive or a farm road so trucks and trailers get through without scraping.
Cedar clearing gives grass back the ground that cedars shaded out. South Dakota State University Extension says eastern redcedar makes dense shade where few plants grow, greatly reducing pasture productivity.
Cedar is one of the few trees that won't come back from a low cut. The same extension page says eastern redcedar won't sprout from the cut stump when the cut is made below the lowest green branch. So the height of the cut matters most on a cedar job, and how the stumps will be left goes in writing.
What happens to the cut cedars goes in writing too: mulched in place, piled, or hauled away.

Fence-line clearing cuts the brush, vines, and saplings that grow up through the wire and lean on the posts.
Before the machine starts, we walk and flag the boundaries and anything you want saved, or send you photos of them. On a fence job that means the gates, the corner braces, and any line that runs along the fence row.
One low-star review we read said damaged fencing let registered cattle onto a highway. That's why a fence row gets walked and flagged before any brush comes down.
The three jobs overlap, but each leaves your land looking different. Our guide to forestry mulching vs. land clearing vs. brush hogging helps you tell which one you have.
Brush removal leaves the trees you keep, the fences standing, and the ground open between them. Three things decide the finish, and each one is settled in writing before the machine starts.
If we have to leave before the job is finished, you get the return date before the crew leaves.
If we can't keep an appointment, we call you before it.
All of our Google reviews, across three listings, are five stars.
We had hired them to do some forestry mulching around Conway. They did a superb job and the crew completed the job on time. Thank you!
A great job they did on my farm.
Mark and his team are outstanding! They were quick to get back with us, and did an excellent job. We had them clear some land near Fayetteville by mulching. We are so happy with the job!

Read the guidesTo get their grass back. South Dakota State University Extension says eastern redcedar makes dense shade where few plants grow, which cuts pasture productivity. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service clears cedars from Arkansas pasture and fence rows, and we walk the site with you before we call the job done.
Brush is the woody growth under and between trees: saplings, shrubs, briars, vines, and young cedars. Grown timber isn't brush. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service clears the underbrush and keeps the trees you want, which we walk and flag with you before the machine starts.
It depends on how tall and thick the growth is and how rough the ground is, so we won't guess at hours over the phone. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service looks at the land first, and your written quote comes with a start week. If the weather moves it, we call you.
There's no average that fits your land without seeing it: brush height, cedar size, slope, and the drive all change the price. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service gives a free estimate and a written quote that lists every charge, travel included.
