What's includedKUDZU IN UNION MILLS
For a Union Mills pasture request, identify which gates equipment would use and whether livestock must move between fields. If a fence is the only barrier keeping animals contained, flag it before clearing is scoped. Discuss work-area separation and any treatment-related restrictions before scheduling; do not assume animals can remain beside the work.
If the patch is near a river, wet ditch or soft crossing, show the available approach from dry, accessible ground. Permission to use a field does not establish permission to cross adjoining land or disturb a watercourse. Confirm relevant restrictions and access permissions for the particular parcel before a plan is agreed.
Union Mills is unincorporated, strung along Hudlow Road and US 221 north of Rutherfordton, with pastures, hayfields and creek bottoms taking the place of streets. Kudzu here tends to run from a creek bank up into a field edge, and the working route is a farm gate, not a driveway.
Union Mills is an unincorporated community along Hudlow Road east of US 221, about eight miles north of Rutherfordton, with no town limits or town rules of its own; access is usually a farm drive or a field gate rather than a street. The community has its own post office and ZIP code, 28167, but no town hall; rules for work near water or a road right-of-way come from Rutherford County and the state. If the patch reaches a creek bottom or a highway shoulder, tell us before we quote it. The crew comes from Rutherfordton, about eight miles south, so a Union Mills first look usually fits the same week you send photos.

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. Treatment targets regrowth, but surviving crowns and new runners can need further attention.
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.
That needs a site-specific plan for livestock, gates and separation from equipment and treatment. Tell us which fields are occupied and who controls access. The quote request does not establish a grazing or re-entry interval; applicable treatment restrictions must be addressed before work.
Describe the crossing and send photos from a secure location. Do not assume the mulcher can use it or that a new crossing can be made. Access limits and any water-related requirements may change or restrict the scope.
Not in the same field at the same time. Tell us which fields hold stock and which gates the machine would use, and plan to move animals out of the working field for the day. Crown treatment has its own restrictions on when animals can graze treated ground; that is covered in the written scope.
LET'S LOOK AT YOUR PROPERTY
Call or text Brush Masters with your town, roughly how much ground the kudzu covers, photos taken from a secure spot and any access limits. Include fences, water and plants you want to keep so we can discuss the written scope.
No payment. No booking. Just a price.
