We clear agreed trees, thick brush and specified stumps from Athens lots, future homesites and access routes. Tracked excavators handle larger trunks and root work. We mark retained trees, confirm the clearing limits and list hauling and the ground finish in your quote.
Best for larger trees, stump and root work, and a defined development footprint.
The owners wanted space for an additional barn on their lightly wooded 3-acre property. We removed the unwanted trees and underbrush, ground the specified stumps and hauled away the clearing debris. This opened the footprint for the next stage of property preparation.
Our process starts by marking the clearing area and trees you want to keep. We use tracked excavators with buckets and hydraulic thumbs to handle trunks, specified stumps and loading. We separate debris with root-rake or loader work, then complete the hauling and ground finish included in your quote.
White oak, post oak, hickory and loblolly pine are examples of trees found in the Georgia Piedmont. Sweetgum can grow back strongly on disturbed ground. We assess the actual trees, slope and access before setting the clearing footprint, with roots and canopy protected where trees are being kept.
The parcel and scope determine the requirements. Athens-Clarke County uses tree management plans for applicable development and land-disturbance work. Routine mowing, tree removal, clearing and grading are different activities. We check the actual jurisdiction and required approvals before cutting trees or disturbing soil. Nearby counties and cities have their own processes.
Forestry mulch normally remains on the ground. For tree removal and land clearing, define whether material will be hauled away, processed on-site or left in agreed locations. Stump grinding and root extraction should also be listed separately.
Yes. We mark retained trees and plan access around their roots. Equipment traffic, debris piles and grade changes can damage trees even when trunks remain. Applicable tree-management plans and protection requirements shape the clearing footprint.
