Five revenue-generating jobs for land clearing contractors
Diamond Mowers provides contractors with a range of mulching and mowing attachments to tackle the most demanding tasks

Summer is a prime time for land-clearing professionals to take on high-paying jobs like tall grass mowing, brush removal, and invasive species control. As temperatures rise and vegetation explodes, so does the demand for skilled operators who know how to clear land quickly and do it right the first time. Whether cutting grass that's grown up to the cab, reclaiming property swallowed by brush, or helping a town prep for fire season, Diamond Mowers has the right attachments to give contractors the power to access more jobs, generate repeat business, and grow their reputation.
Here are five revenue-generating jobs for contractors to take on this summer:
1. Tall grass and brush cutting
From roadside mowing to pasture reclamation, tackling tall grass and dense brush are reliable moneymakers all summer long. For thorough and efficient cleanup, Diamond's Brush Cutter Pro X clears grass, brush, and branches to keep the land neat and manicured and prevent weeds from sprouting. Equipped with three steel blades and a tri-hex cutting disc, it can slice through material up to 10 inches in diameter. The Brush Cutter Pro's blade carrier boasts two hardened steel blades that maintain a 72-inch cutting width and can handle material up to 5 inches in diameter.
When it's time to move beyond brush and into larger vegetation, Diamond offers a range of drum mulchers for any terrain. The Drum Mulcher Depth Control (DC) Pro is ideal for standard-duty applications like fence line maintenance and general brush clearing, providing effective cutting power on dense trees and vegetation without overkill. For heavier-duty work, the new Drum Mulcher Pro X2 is available in both open drum (OD) and depth control configurations and makes quick work of thick brush and vegetation up to 9 inches in diameter. The OD Pro X2 thrives in rugged environments with heavy ground engagement, while the DC Pro X2 delivers controlled, efficient mulching with a clean finish.
2. Fence line maintenance - Keep boundaries in check
Fences are vital for livestock, crops, and property management, making now the perfect time to trim back overgrowth and ensure clear boundaries.
The Brush Cutter Pro simplifies this task with a low push bar that clears beneath a fence's bottom wires to remove perennial under or over-growth. For even thicker material, the Drum Mulcher DC Pro powers through dense trees and vegetation while controlling discharge by directing debris toward the ground, making it a perfect tool for working in urban settings and along roads or buildings.
3. Stay ahead of the spread of invasive species
By mid-summer, invasive species like Eastern Redcedar, Multiflora Rose, Mesquite, and Juniper are no longer sprouting, they're sprawling. Left unchecked, these plants can choke out native growth, disrupt ecosystems, and harm land productivity. If they weren't nipped in the bud during spring, now's the time to shut them down before they go to seed and spread.
For operators seeking a more productive and versatile tool, the Drum Mulcher OD Pro X2 is a one-pass machine that delivers high-quality mulch thanks to its optimized infeed system. This mulcher is a great choice for when heavy ground engagement is expected and provides power and flexibility for cutting and mulching invasives down to size. The Drum Mulcher DC Pro X2 can help contractors conquer heavier-duty mulching and invasive species management while delivering an equally fine mulch that not only looks clean and professional but also breaks down more quickly, aids in nutrient cycling, and can help meet specific job requirements set by state or federal land management contracts.
4. Storm cleanup and fire mitigation
From tornadoes and flooding to hurricanes and wildfires, natural disasters can wreak havoc on the land, leaving behind downed limbs, toppled trees, and scattered debris. Having the right equipment on hand enables contractors to respond quickly and effectively.
Diamond's excavator attachments, including the Brush Cutter Pro X and Drum Mulcher DC Pro X, excel in these scenarios. The power and precision of these tools, combined with the extended reach of an excavator, allow operators to manage debris in hard-to-access areas along steep banks, over ditches, and through heavily obstructed terrain without compromising stability or safety. This capability makes them great tools for clearing storm-damaged vegetation in both rural landscapes and developed environments.
For even more aggressive cleanup, the Drum Mulcher OD Pro X is engineered for heavy ground engagement and excels at chewing through fallen trees, scattered debris, and dense brush left behind by high winds or wildfires. Built for high productivity in tough conditions, it's a go-to attachment for contractors who need to reclaim land quickly and thoroughly after nature strikes.
Additionally, tree stumps left behind after storms can obstruct new plant growth, diminish a property's appearance, and prevent land from being repurposed for agriculture, development, or real estate. Removal can be a quick and easy process with a wheel-based stump grinder. Diamond offers two types of stump grinders — the Miller and the Reflex — both designed to grind stumps of virtually any size to below ground level due to the 1-inch-thick heavy-duty wheels, which are equipped with carbide teeth that smoothly slice through tough material and resist impact and abrasion.
5. Urban development and infrastructure projects - Land prep that pays
Summer is prime time for townships, cities, and municipalities to address rights-of-way, trail expansions, and site prep for infrastructure. Public and private developers alike are looking for contractors who can clear land efficiently and professionally. Those equipped with the right brush-cutting and mulching attachments are well-positioned to earn repeat municipal work and build long-term growth opportunities.
Featuring a spindle-driven blade system that delivers commercial-grade power, Diamond's stand-on Mini Brush Cutter Pro X is particularly useful for precision tasks near sensitive areas, as well as general property maintenance. This compact yet power-packed tool features a bolt-on attachment plate with an offset design, so operators can shift the plate across the front of their carrier to minimize track marks.
Summer brings no shortage of opportunities for land-clearing professionals to stay productive and profitable. With the right tools in their arsenal, contractors can meet seasonal demand head-on to not only drive revenue during peak season but also open doors to long-term contracts and expanded service offerings. By investing in high-performance attachments built for summer's toughest challenges, land-clearing professionals can turn the heat into a season of growth.
