Land Clearing & Excavating Contractors in Knoxville, TN

Land clearing cost per acre depends on how dense the trees and brush are, the slope and access of your property, and whether you need stumps removed or the ground graded afterward. A lightly overgrown acre can cost far less than steep, heavily wooded ground. We give every customer a free, itemized on-site estimate, so you'll know exactly what your project costs before we start. Call us and we'll walk your land with you.

It depends on the job. Smaller jobs and selective clearing are often priced by the day, while larger, uniform tracts can be quoted by the acre. Vegetation density, tree size and terrain all affect how fast the mulcher can work. We'll explain which pricing fits your property and put it in writing in a free estimate.

Forestry mulching grinds brush and trees in place, with no burning or hauling, and leaves a mulch layer that protects your soil from erosion. That makes it a great choice for wooded lots, trails, fence lines and pasture reclamation. Traditional land clearing with stump and root removal is better when you're building, because footers and a house pad need bare, compacted ground. We do both and will recommend the right method for what you plan to do with the land.

Clearing land to build a house usually means removing the trees, stumps and brush in the building footprint, then cutting and leveling the house pad. We also clear and shape the driveway and get the site ready for footers, septic and concrete. We coordinate with your engineer so footers are marked correctly. Because one crew handles the whole job, your site goes from wooded lot to build-ready without juggling multiple contractors.

Foundation and basement excavation cost depends on the size and depth of the dig, soil and rock conditions, site access, and whether dirt has to be hauled off or can stay on site. A full basement costs more than a crawl space or slab foundation. We give a free, itemized estimate after looking at your lot and plans, so there are no surprises.

Yes. We can clear the trees and brush along your driveway route, then excavate, shape and grade the driveway so it drains properly. Doing both with one crew saves time and keeps the project on one schedule and one quote. That's especially helpful on long, wooded or sloped lots common around Knoxville and the Smokies foothills.

Absolutely. We clear brush, cedar, saplings and underbrush to reclaim pasture and farm ground, often with forestry mulching so there are no burn piles to deal with.
