THE VINE MAT
Cut and mulch
Forestry mulching takes the vine mat, the smothered brush and small trees down to a mulch layer in one pass. Nothing is hauled, nothing is burned.
UNION MILLS, RUTHERFORD COUNTY
Union Mills sits along the Second Broad River, and most of the kudzu here runs along a pasture fence or a field edge near the water. We mulch it, treat the crowns, and come back, nine miles from our Rutherfordton shop.

What's includedKUDZU IN UNION MILLS
Union Mills is an unincorporated farming community along the Second Broad River, and the kudzu jobs we take here are mostly the same shape: a pasture fence bordering the river bottom, a hayfield edge that's gone unmown for a few seasons, a wood line between two working farms. River-bottom ground grows kudzu fast once it gets a foothold, since the soil stays soft and the sun is open right up to the tree line along the water.
The Rutherford County Fire Marshal's office lists a dedicated Union Mills Fire Department on Hudlow Road, its own department rather than a satellite of a bigger town's, which tells you how much this community still runs on its own rather than as an extension of Forest City or Rutherfordton down the road. Most of the properties we quote here are working farms first, with kudzu treated as one more field-edge problem rather than the main event.
A Union Mills quote, nine miles from our Rutherfordton shop, is priced on the fence line or field edge actually involved, the same way a Bostic or Ellenboro job would be. It is a fixed written price in writing before anything starts, crown treatment included on every kudzu job, and no day rates whether the crew is there for two hours or two days. A return visit is recommended and quoted separately as a maintenance plan.

Each step has a different job.
Skip one and the kudzu comes back.
THE VINE MAT
Forestry mulching takes the vine mat, the smothered brush and small trees down to a mulch layer in one pass. Nothing is hauled, nothing is burned.
THE ROOTS
Kudzu regrows from crowns at the base of each vine. We treat them so the regrowth is a handful of shoots, not a new field.
THE MAINTENANCE PLAN
We recommend coming back in the growing season to catch what resprouts. That return visit is quoted separately as a maintenance plan, and you see the price before anything is scheduled.

THE FROM $1,500 PRICE
Land clearing from $1,500. Sounds crazy? It's not. It depends on acreage and location.
The $1,500 starting price covers the first visit: cutting and mulching the growth and treating the root crowns on a small, accessible area. Bigger ground, steeper ground, tight access and thick old-growth vine mats move the number up, and you see that number in writing before we schedule anything.
Our promise: a fixed written price before we start. No day rates. Nonstandard access or extra follow-up work is quoted before anything is scheduled.
Kudzu regrows from root crowns left in the ground. Mulching alone is not removal, which is why we recommend a return visit. Return visits for regrowth are quoted separately as a maintenance plan, and you see that price in writing before anything is scheduled.
HOW IT WORKS
Call, text or send the form with the property location and roughly how far the kudzu has spread. Photos help.
We look at access, slope and how thick the mat is, then send a fixed written price. No day rates.
Top growth is mulched in place and crowns are treated on the first visit. We recommend coming back in the growing season to catch resprouts, quoted separately as a maintenance plan.
CLOSE TO HOME
Based in Rutherfordton. Working Rutherford, Polk, Cleveland, McDowell and Henderson counties and the Spartanburg side of the state line.
Not listed? Call anyway. If it is within about an hour of Rutherfordton we probably cover it.
Ground close to the river can fall under different rules than a dry field away from water, so we check what applies to your specific spot before quoting. Riverbank access can also be harder for equipment, which we account for in the price rather than discovering it on the day of the job.
Yes, we do it often. We'll talk through fencing, gates and where livestock needs to be kept clear of the equipment before scheduling, and none of that changes the fixed price once it's agreed on. Just mention the active pasture when you send a request so we plan the visit around it.
