Quick answer
We provide forestry mulching, brush clearing, and pasture reclamation in Hume, VA — built for Old Dominion Hounds-territory hunt farms and equestrian estates. Day rate is $3,000–$3,500 with a Cat 275 XE-class compact track loader and full insurance.
Hume, VA — what we do here.
Hume is hunt country at its most beautiful and most demanding. Old Dominion Hounds holds territory through the area, the Goose Creek headwaters cut through, and the Blue Ridge foothills rise to the west. The properties are large — typically 50+ acres — and the standard of property maintenance is among the highest in Fauquier. The contractors who work here regularly are the ones who match the standard.
Our Hume work is fence-line and tree-line brush clearing along hunt fields, pasture reclamation on parcels that have grown in during a quiet decade, and selective forestry mulching to open hunt-field sight lines without removing the mature oaks and walnuts that define the property. The work is precise. We mark every keeper before the head runs, and we coordinate with hunt secretaries and barn managers on schedule.
Equipment selection is non-negotiable in Hume. We run a Cat 275 XE compact track loader — equestrian-appropriate, low ground pressure, quiet enough to operate next to active turn-out. We don't bring logging-class machinery here. The reputational risk of damaging hunt-country pasture or breaking a board fence isn't worth the speed gain.
Day rate is $3,000–$3,500. Hume jobs are typically 3–7 days for fence-line and pasture work on 50+ acre properties. We carry full general-liability insurance and we'll send a certificate to the property's insurance carrier or the hunt secretary on request.
The properties we serve in Hume: Working hunt farms, equestrian estates, and 50+ acre rural-residential holdings. Owners are precise about contractor selection and expect equestrian-grade discipline.
Local landmarks we work near: Old Dominion Hounds territory, Goose Creek headwaters, Whitney State Forest, Rappahannock County edge (just west), the Blue Ridge foothills.

Most Humejobs combine two or three of our services in one visit. We'll walk the property with you, scope the forestry mulching work first, then add land clearing for the fence-lines and brush-clearing perimeters that need it, and finish with a driveway regrade while we're already on site. One trip charge, one written estimate, one finished property.
We also work neighboring Upperville, VA, Warrenton, VA, and The Plains, VA every week — if your property sits between Hume and any of those, we often block-schedule the trip for efficiency. Free site visits across the corridor are answered in under an hour during business hours.

Hume — straight answers
Do you work with Old Dominion Hounds-territory properties?
Yes — that's a regular part of our Hume work. We coordinate with hunt secretaries and barn managers on schedule, work the right side of fence lines, and protect natural sight lines.
Can you handle a 50+ acre estate as a multi-week engagement?
Yes. Larger Hume estates are typically scheduled in 5-day or 10-day blocks at the $3,000–$3,500 day rate. We schedule, stage, and bill predictably so the barn manager has a clear timeline.
Is your equipment quiet enough for active turn-out?
Yes. The Cat 275 XE is significantly quieter and lower-vibration than a tracked dozer. We've worked next to active hunt-country turn-out without spooking horses.
Are you insured at a level appropriate for Hume estates?
Yes — full general liability ($1M+ per occurrence) plus auto coverage. Certificate of insurance available on request before any job starts.
