A Real Outfit in Berry, Alabama
Plenty of the land clearing sites that turn up for this part of Alabama are national templates with a town name dropped in and a form on the end. We are the other thing: a land clearing, forestry mulching and excavating outfit based in Berry, in Fayette County, working eight counties with our own machines.
Most calls start with mulching or clearing. The rest is what it takes to finish the job once the trees are down: stumps out, a pad cut, a drive built, a culvert set, the water given somewhere to go. One call covers the whole run of work.
- A Cat dozer, Cat and Kubota track loaders with mulching heads, and an excavator
- Tracked machines with low ground pressure, easy on soft ground
- Free estimates, priced off the property after a look

One Machine, One Pass.
The difference between mulching and conventional clearing is what is left when the machine leaves. More on forestry mulching.
Nothing to haul off
The brush is ground where it stands. No piles sitting in your field waiting on a burn day, no roll-off container, no trucking bill at the bottom of the invoice.
The ground stays covered
The mulch layer holds your dirt through the first hard rain instead of letting a bare slope wash into the ditch.
Stumps out is clearing
Mulching leaves the root ball in the ground. If the stumps have to come out for a pad or a field you plan to plow, that is a clearing job, and we do that too.
Ours. Not Rented the Morning Of.
Everything runs on tracks and arrives on a trailer. Tracks spread the weight, so the machines work soft ground and finished areas without cutting ruts across them.
- Cat dozerClearing and gradePushing timber, raking roots, cutting pads and pulling finish grade. The machine that does the heavy half of a clearing job.
- Cat compact track loaderMulchingRuns a drum mulching head for tight work, thick understory, and anywhere a bigger machine would do more harm than good.
- Kubota SVL110-3MulchingPaired with an FAE mulching head. Takes standing brush and small timber down to mulch in place.
- ExcavatorDirt and stump workFootings, trenching, culvert sets, and stumps and root balls pulled out whole.

From First Call to Final Grade
Tell Us What You Have
Call, text or send the form. County, rough acreage, what is growing on it and how a truck and trailer gets in.
We Look at the Ground
Close by, we come and look. Farther off, we can go over it with you on satellite first, then see it on the ground before the work starts.
A Number to Plan Around
Estimates are free and priced off the property. Small jobs carry a minimum, and you hear the figure before you commit.
The Machines Go to Work
We settle what comes out and what stays. Mark the trees you want kept, or walk it with us and point them out.
Finished, Not Just Knocked Down
Holes filled, ground pulled back to grade, and the fall set so water leaves the site instead of standing on it.

What Land Clearing and Forestry Mulching Cost in Alabama
Land clearing in Alabama has no single per-acre price: the cost is set by what is standing on the ground, how steep and wet it is, how a trailer gets to it, what happens to the debris and how finished you want it left. Forestry mulching usually costs less than dozer clearing because it is one machine with nothing to haul or burn, and Down South Land Solutions prices either one free after a look at the property.
Read the guideForestry Mulching Cost Per Acre in Alabama: What Moves the Price
Forestry mulching cost per acre in Alabama depends mainly on how thick the growth is, how big the stems are, how steep and wet the ground is, how the machine gets in, and how many acres there are. No single per-acre figure fits every tract, so Down South Land Solutions gives a free estimate after looking at the property, in person or on satellite.
Read the guideForestry Mulching vs Bulldozing: Which Is Right for Your Land in Alabama
Choose forestry mulching if you want brush and small trees gone and the ground left covered and usable. Choose bulldozing if you are going to build on it or plow it, because only clearing takes the stumps and roots out.
Read the guideWhat kind of work does Down South Land Solutions take on?
Fifteen services, all done with our own machines: forestry mulching, land clearing, underbrush removal, tree removal, excavating, site work, house pads, driveways and access roads, house demolition, mobile home removal, retaining walls, pasture reclamation, fence line clearing, hunting lanes and food plots, and firebreaks. Not sure if your job is something we take on? Call or text and ask.
Which west Alabama counties does Down South cover?
Fayette, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Marion, Lamar, Pickens, Cullman and Winston. We are based in Berry, in Fayette County. If your land is just outside those eight, call or text and ask. See the map on our service area page.
Is forestry mulching or land clearing the right call for my ground?
Start with what the land is for. Mulching grinds standing brush and small trees in place and leaves the roots, which suits trails, fence lines, pasture and woods you want to see through. Clearing pushes the timber and pulls the stumps so you can build or plow. Our guide on mulching against bulldozing walks through it.
How do I get a price on my property from Down South?
Call or text (205) 535-6376, or send the form. Tell us the county, roughly how many acres, what is growing on it and whether a truck and trailer can get in. Estimates are free and priced off the property after a look.
Does Down South take small jobs, like half an acre behind a house?
Yes. Half an acre behind a house is a normal job. Very small jobs carry a minimum to cover getting the equipment there and back, and you hear that figure before you commit to anything.
Tell Us What You Are Looking At
The more you can tell us up front, the closer the number is when we call you back. Only your name and phone are needed.
