THE THICKET
Understory mulching

What's includedINVASIVE BRUSH IN LAKE LURE
Invasive brush removal on Hickory Nut Gorge slopes
The Town of Lake Lure lists its highest elevation as 3,020 feet above sea level at Rumbling Bald Mountain, and the lake elevation as 990.5 feet. Those figures describe the area, not the grade or equipment suitability of your parcel. Show the road, proposed work area and any route between them.
If the patch reaches toward the shoreline, identify the boundary and confirm applicable shoreline, tree and land-disturbance requirements with the town before work. Remote-controlled equipment does not make every slope accessible. Mulch left in place is not a guarantee against erosion or storm damage.
The first visit starts at $1,500 for a small, accessible invasive-brush patch: cutting and mulching the growth and treating the stumps. Density, slope and access can increase the written price. A return visit is recommended and quoted separately as a maintenance plan.
Lake Lure lots climb the gorge walls from the water, and most driveways arrive above or below the house rather than beside it. Invasive brush on the cut bank below the drive is common; whether the machine can be walked onto that bank safely is the first question.
The lake itself dates from 1926, when the dam on the Rocky Broad River was completed, according to the town's own history. The lots around it climb the gorge walls, so most Lake Lure requests are about a slope reached from a road above or below.

Three steps.
One property.
Each step has a different job.
Regrowth may need further visits.
THE STUMPS
Cut-stump treatment
Privet and honeysuckle resprout hard from a cut stump. Cut-stump treatment targets that regrowth, but results vary and further visits may be needed.
THE MAINTENANCE PLAN
Return visit
We recommend coming back during the growing season to catch whatever resprouts. That return visit is quoted separately as a maintenance plan, and you see the price before anything is scheduled.
Read how to tell privet, honeysuckle, rose and olive apart and what invasive brush removal costs before you call, or just call.
THE FROM $1,500 PRICE
A base price,
with the scope made clear.
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 stumps on a small, accessible patch of invasive brush. Bigger ground, denser thickets, tight access and mixed stands of privet, honeysuckle, rose and olive 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.
Privet and honeysuckle push hard out of a cut stump left in the ground, so a job that stops at mulching isn't a finished removal. That's 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.

CLOSE TO HOME
Invasive brush removal across
Western NC.
Rutherfordton is the home base, with the crew regularly out across Rutherford, Polk, Cleveland, McDowell and Henderson counties, plus the Spartanburg side of the state line.
Don't see your town? Call anyway, we likely still cover it if you're within roughly an hour's drive of Rutherfordton.
What if my lot has no drivable access from below?
Send photos showing any approach from above and describe obstacles along it. Access and ground conditions need assessment; there may be no workable route. Do not enter steep brush to take photos. Confirm permissions and do not assume an equipment slope rating approves the site.
What should I send for a Lake Lure brush quote?
Send your town, property location, approximate brush area and photos of leaves, stems and the full thicket. Include equipment access and any plants to retain. The written first-visit scope is separate from recommended follow-up work; regrowth can require further visits.
Can you keep the trees and just take the brush underneath?
That is the usual job. The crew mulches the privet, honeysuckle and rose under the canopy and treats the stumps, leaving the trees you flag. Tell us which trees stay when you send photos, and expect the ground under them to look bare for a season while the mulch settles.
