QUESTIONS, ANSWERS STRAIGHT
Will brush mowing just make it grow back worse?
Only if you cut it once and walk away. That triggers a bigger, faster comeback, which is where the bad reputation comes from. The trick is frequency. Every cut forces the blackberry to burn energy stored in its roots trying to regrow, so if you keep it cut low it never recovers and eventually dies. This is how farmers have reclaimed land for decades. We make the one heavy cut you cannot do by hand, then you keep it down with your lawn mower or weed whacker. Add it to your regular mowing and it is gone for good.
How much does it cost?
Every property is different, so pricing comes from the free walk through, with a firm number before any work starts. Brush mowing costs a fraction of brush excavation, which is why it is the right call for most properties.
Can your machines even reach my brush?
The mower can start with as little as 4 feet of access for small jobs, while larger jobs usually need at least 6 feet. Brush excavation needs about 10 feet of access. Brendon confirms access at the walk through before anything is booked.
What happens to all the debris?
With mowing, 8 to 10 foot bushes come down to a low layer of chopped pieces left on the ground, where they break down over time. Nothing to haul. With brush excavation, the pulled brush and roots are hauled to a topsoil recycler, or piled on site for burning if you prefer.
How fast can you get out here?
Estimates are usually scheduled within 48 hours. Job timing depends on the season and the current queue, and Brendon gives you the real schedule at the estimate, not a guess.
Do you use chemicals or spray?
No. The work is mechanical. Spraying leaves dead thorns standing in poisoned ground with live roots underneath, which is not a result anyone wants. Brush mowing and brush excavation both deal with the plant physically.
Can you work around my septic field?
Yes, and this is a common reason mowing is the better choice. Blackberry roots can work into septic lines over time, but digging near a drain field is risky. Mowing clears the brush without disturbing what is underground. Brendon locates the field at the walk through and plans around it.
Do I have to be home for the work?
For the estimate it helps to walk the ground together so you can point out property lines, the septic field and what you want left standing. On machine day you do not need to be there, as long as the access gate is open.
