Land Clearing
We clear wooded lots and overgrown acreage with the dozer and trackhoe. Trees and stumps come out, the debris gets hauled off, and the ground is left rough graded.

Dozer work is how ground gets moved in bulk. Our crawler dozer pushes trees and brush into piles, cuts the high spots down and fills the low ones. The blade spreads dirt across a wide area far faster than a bucket can. A lot of dirt work starts here, before anything gets built or planted.
We take on land grading for homeowners, farms and small commercial ground across North Alabama. That covers leveling a yard, building up low ground and reclaiming grown-up pasture. We also shape a site after clearing a wooded lot. Free estimates: call or text (256) 303-7210.

Land grading means shaping the ground to a plan. We cut the high spots, carry that dirt to the low spots and blade it smooth. On a slope we set the fall so rain runs away from the house or the shop.
When there is not enough dirt on site, our dump trucks bring fill in. The dozer spreads it in lifts and packs it down as it works. That is how low ground gets built up and how we cut a house pad for a new home.
Grading also gets a site ready for the next step. We cut and shape the road bed for a gravel driveway or farm road before any gravel goes down. Shallow limestone and chert are common around here. Rock the blade cannot move comes out with a ripper on the trackhoe.
Fields go back to woods fast in North Alabama. Leave a pasture unmowed for a few years and sweetgum, cedar, privet and briars take it over. A rotary mower cannot cut saplings that size, so the dozer goes in first.
The blade pushes the brush and small trees up with the roots and rakes them into piles. Privet is the stubborn one. Alabama Extension calls it the most common nuisance shrub in the state. It sprouts back from cut stumps and side roots, so getting the roots up matters.
Once the brush is gone we blade the field smooth. Old stump holes, ruts and terraces get filled and leveled so a tractor can run across it again. What you seed after that is your call. The Alabama Cooperative Extension System publishes pasture and forage guides at aces.edu.
A dozer and a trackhoe do different things. The dozer pushes dirt across the ground and spreads it wide with the blade. The trackhoe sits in one spot, swings around and digs down with a bucket.
So the dozer wins when material has to travel and the ground has to end up level. Grading a field, spreading fill, cutting a pad and pushing brush are all dozer jobs. Digging a deep hole or loading trucks is trackhoe work.
Most jobs use both machines. We dig and shape a farm pond with the trackhoe, then finish the bank and the spoil with the dozer. Both come from one company, so nothing waits on a second contractor.
From the first call or text to the last load hauled off, here is how it goes.
Tell us what you have and where the property is. Photos of the ground help. Call or text (256) 303-7210 and we set a time to come look.
We come out and see the job in person. Trees, slope, wet spots and rock all change the work. The estimate comes after that, and it is free.
We decide which machines the job needs and in what order they work. Access, where the dirt goes and where the debris goes get settled first. Alabama 811 gets called before any digging starts.
Our lowboy brings the machines to the property and the work starts. The dump trucks bring material in and carry spoil, rock and debris out. We work in an order that keeps water running off the ground.
The debris leaves the property and the dirt gets rough graded back out. Water is shaped to run away from the pad, the drive or the house. Then we look the job over with you.

We build house pads for new homes, barns, shops and metal buildings on lots across North Alabama. Fill comes in by the load, goes down in packed lifts and gets graded so water runs away from the building.

We build new gravel driveways and farm roads, and regrade old ones that have rutted or washed out. Base cut, crown shaped, ditches cut, rock hauled in and graded out.

We dig new farm ponds, enlarge old ones and clean out ponds that have silted in. The trackhoe cuts the basin, the dozer shapes the bank, and the spoil gets spread or hauled off.
Learn MoreThe excavators, the crawler dozer, the skid steer mulcher and two dump trucks belong to the company. A lowboy trailer hauls them to your property. One call puts all of it on the job.
The same company clears the lot, cuts the pad, shapes the drive and hauls the debris away. You line up one contractor for the dirt side of the work.
North Alabama sits on limestone and chert, often close to the surface. Our trackhoes carry rippers, so rock that stops a tractor or a post hole digger comes out. It gets moved, buried or hauled off.
We are based in Trinity and work about 60 miles out, all inside Alabama. That takes in the Decatur and Huntsville area, the Shoals, Cullman and the farm country between. Estimates are free, so call or text.
