Land clean-up for overgrown lots and fields

What the work is

Land clean-up is clearing the ground of what has built up on it: thick brush, saplings, fallen limbs, old wire fencing, scrap, and piles left by past owners. We push it into piles where you want them so the ground is open again.

If material needs to leave the property, we talk about that at the site visit. If the lot is mostly tall grass and weeds, bush hogging may be all it needs.

When you need it

• You bought land that has been sitting and you want to see what you have.
• You are getting a lot ready to build on, or to sell.
• An old homeplace or farm field has grown up and you want it back.
• Brush and junk along a fence line or creek has gotten out of hand.

East Tennessee land

Overgrown ground in East Tennessee grows back fast. Privet, briars and saplings take over a field in a few years. Sloped lots and wet bottoms are common, and red clay turns slick after a rain, so we plan the work around the ground and the weather.

Old properties often have surprises under the brush: wire, stumps, stone, old foundations and buried junk. We walk it first so the number we give you fits what is really there.

How we do it

Call or send the form and tell us roughly how much land and what is on it. We come out and walk it with you, agree on what stays and what goes, and give you a straight number in writing. Our crew brings the Caterpillar 265 skid steer and, where it helps, the Caterpillar 305 mini excavator.

What affects the price

• How much land and how thick the growth is.
• What is mixed in: wire, scrap, old structures.
• Slope, wet ground and access for the machines.
• Where the piles go and whether anything has to leave the property.
