Who we are

Who You Are Actually Hiring

A lot of the land clearing sites you will find for this part of Alabama are not local outfits at all. They are national templates with a city name dropped in, a phone number from somewhere else and a form on the end.

We are the other thing. Down South is based in Berry, in Fayette County. We run our own machines, and the phone is answered by somebody who runs them.

The work is simple to describe and hard to do well: take ground that is grown up, rough, wet or the wrong shape, and leave it open, graded and ready for what comes next. That might be a house, a shop, a pasture, a food plot, a drive that stops washing, or just woods you can walk through.

The iron

What We Run

A Cat dozer for clearing and grade work. Cat and Kubota compact track loaders for mulching, one with a drum head and one with an FAE head. An excavator for footings, stumps, culverts and trenches. Everything is on tracks, which is why the machines can work soft ground and finished areas without leaving 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.
Straight talk

How We Price and How We Talk

Estimates are free and we would rather look at the ground than guess at it. If mulching is the wrong answer for your property we will say so, even though it is the service we would rather sell. If a job needs a permit or an engineer's drawing first, you will hear that too.

Our cost guides lay out what actually drives the number up and down, and how to read a quote without getting caught out. Small jobs carry a minimum, and you hear the figure before you commit.

Who We Work For

Landowners, homeowners, farmers, hunters, builders and lake-lot owners, on family land, building lots, pasture, timber and commercial ground.

Where We Work

Fayette, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Marion, Lamar, Pickens, Cullman and Winston counties. Berry sits close enough to the middle that most of the eight are a reasonable haul. See the full service area.

How it works

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.
