Gravel Driveways
We build new gravel driveways and repair rutted, washed-out ones in Oak Hill and across Greene County. We shape the crown and the ditches so rain and snowmelt run off the drive.

Brush hogging cuts back fields and pastures that have gotten out of control. Doberman Excavation and Services brings heavy-duty equipment built for tall, thick growth. It also cuts saplings and small trees up to 4 inches in diameter. Some people call it bush hogging, and it is the same job.
We cut fields across Greene County and the northern Catskills, for farms and rural landowners. Brush hogging is one part of our work as an excavation contractor in Oak Hill. When the growth is too heavy for a brush hog, the job moves to forestry mulching.

The 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 201 farms in Greene County, at 150 acres on average. Those farms held 4,639 acres of pasture. Hay and other forage crops were the top crop, on 8,365 acres. The same count found 5,109 cattle and calves on the county's farms.
We brush hog pastures and idle fields so they stay open. A field left alone fills in with brush, then saplings. Fence lines grow in too, and we cut them back so you can reach the fence.
Hunting land needs mowing too. We mow the fields and hunting lanes you already use. Cutting new lanes or food plots out of the woods is a land clearing job.
Our brush hogging knocks down heavy grass and weeds. It cuts through brush and light overgrowth, and it takes saplings up to 4 inches thick. The cut growth stays on the ground and breaks down there.
Thicker growth is a different job. Heavy brush on wooded ground calls for forestry mulching, which grinds it into mulch on site. Bigger trees come down with our tree and stump removal service.
We size each brush hogging job by its acreage and its growth. Grass and weeds on open, level ground go fastest. Thick brush and saplings take longer, and so do slopes. Photos of the field help us plan the work.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation has a plan for grassland birds like the bobolink. For fields over 25 acres on its wildlife lands, it says to avoid mowing from April 23 to August 15. That window covers the months when those birds nest. On your own land the timing is your call, and we can plan the cut around it.
Ground conditions matter too. Snow and ice melt can leave a field soft and muddy in spring. Heavy equipment can rut soft ground, so a cut may need to wait until the field firms up.
In a weedy pasture, aim to cut before the weeds go to seed. That leaves less seed on the ground for next year. Call or text (518) 281-8003, and we can set a date that fits your field.
