Compare the six scopes
| Scope | What it removes | What typically remains | Typical next step it prepares for | Owner page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forestry mulching | Standing underbrush, palmetto, small trees processed in place | A mulch layer, stumps cut near grade, roots intact, ungraded ground | Visibility, trails, selective clearing, maintenance passes | Forestry mulching |
| Brush clearing & bush hogging | Grass, weeds, and light woody growth within the cutter's capacity | Cut material where it falls (unless scoped otherwise), stumps, roots | Overgrowth notices, recurring maintenance, pre-sale cleanup | Brush clearing & bush hogging |
| Stump & root removal | Stumps by grinding or pulling; root mass by grubbing/root raking | Grindings or a backfilled hole; decaying lateral roots after grinding | Fencing, driveways, replanting, or below-grade construction | Stump & root removal |
| Lot clearing & site prep | Vegetation and stumps within the surveyed clearing limits, grubbed | A cleared, grubbed area ready to hand off to the site contractor | A house, barn, or other building project | Lot clearing & site prep |
| Land grading | Nothing vegetative — it shapes and levels existing ground | Rough contours or a rough handoff grade within the written scope | Builder, driveway, septic, or the next trade (not a certified pad) | Land grading |
| Pasture & fence-line clearing | Overgrowth across pasture and along fence corridors | Cleared or mulched ground — not instantly grazable turf | Fence work, visibility, and separate pasture renovation | Pasture & fence-line clearing |
Mulched, cleared, stump-free, and rough-graded are different finishes. The written scope, not the label, defines the job.

Forestry Mulching
Choose this when you want overgrowth reduced in place with a mulch finish and no hauling. It leaves stumps and roots — a method decision, not a removal-to-bare-dirt decision.
Forestry Mulching scope & cost driversBrush Clearing & Bush Hogging
Choose this for grass, weeds, and light woody growth, one-time or recurring. Coarser than mulching; larger stems and a mulch finish belong to a different scope.
Brush Clearing & Bush Hogging scope & cost driversStump & Root Removal
Choose this when stumps or roots must come out below grade — for fencing, driveways, replanting, or construction. Grinding, pulling, and grubbing are distinct jobs.

Choose this when a survey defines clearing limits for a house, barn, or building project, and the ground must be cleared, grubbed, and handed to a site contractor.

Choose this to shape or level ground after clearing — ruts, high and low spots, access routes. It does not certify a compacted building pad.
