How to Clear Dense Brush From a Property

Dense brush can stop you from using whole sections of your land. Here's how to approach it.

Identify the brush

Bush honeysuckle, autumn olive, multiflora rose and buckthorn are common in Northern Indiana. Most resprout vigorously.

Pick a method by scale

• Small patches: loppers, saws and a lot of patience.
• Larger areas: forestry mulching clears dense brush efficiently.
• Under mature trees: selective clearing protects the canopy.

Follow up

Mowing and seeding open ground over the next season keeps brush from returning.
