Field Mowing Services

We mow the big stuff so your land stays under control

Keep Your Fields In Check

An overgrown field invites trouble: thistle and burdock go to seed, groundhogs and snakes move in, and the neighbors start wondering. We run batwing mowers that knock down acres per hour, so a field that looks like a lost cause on Monday is clean by Tuesday afternoon.

What We Mow

Overgrown Fields & Lots

High grass, thick weeds, overgrown vegetation — we'll knock it down and get your field back under control. Any size, any condition.

Recurring Mowing

We can set up a regular mowing schedule based on your needs. Monthly, seasonal, or whatever works — we'll keep your fields maintained so they don't get away from you again.

Vacant Lots & Properties

Own land that's sitting empty? We'll keep it mowed and maintained so it stays looking good and stays in compliance with local codes.

Large Acreage

We're set up for big jobs. Our equipment handles large fields efficiently, so even big properties get mowed quickly and evenly.

What Field Mowing Costs

For most smaller fields, mowing runs about $50 to $150 an acre. Larger fields bring the per-acre price down — 15 acres and up is often $35 to $60 an acre, because the machine spends its time mowing instead of turning around.

What moves the number is how tall and heavy the growth is, how many obstacles we have to work around, and how rough the ground is underneath. A field that gets mowed every year is quick work. One that has not been touched in three seasons, with saplings coming through the grass, takes a brush hog and more time. Customers on a recurring schedule get a better rate than one-off calls. Put your own acreage into the mowing calculator for a ballpark, or see every range on the pricing page.

If the growth has gone past grass and weeds into woody brush, brush clearing is the right tool for the first pass; mowing keeps it open after that.

When to Mow, and How Often

For appearance and weed control, the useful rule is to mow before the weeds set seed. Thistle, burdock and ragweed all spread from a single missed season, and catching them early means fewer passes later. Most owners who want a field to simply look maintained land on two or three cuts a season.

Vacant lots in town are a different question — there the schedule is usually set by the local weed ordinance, and a standing arrangement is the easiest way to stay out of trouble. Tell us the address and how often, and we will put it on the calendar and handle it without you having to call each time.

We mow fields and lots across Eastern Iowa, NW Illinois and SW Wisconsin, including around Dyersville and Manchester. For commercial sites and corridors, see land development mowing.

Field Edges and Access Strips

Not all of it is wide-open acres. A lot of field mowing is the strip along the crop ground — headlands, waterways and access lanes that the farm equipment cannot reach and nobody else wants to touch.
