Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Adamsville
Adamsville is named for a man named Adams who gave land for the town. It boomed after a big coal seam was found nearby in 1890, and coal mines and coke ovens drove the local economy. The town incorporated in 1901, gave up its charter in 1915 and incorporated again in 1953. State Highway 5 runs north and south through the city, and I-22 passes just to the northeast. Adamsville is inside our service area, and we take jobs here.
The land around Adamsville is a mix of subdivisions and acreage that has grown up in pine and hardwood. People buy a few wooded acres off a highway to build on, or want a pasture or a back field opened again. We clear it, grade it, cut the drive and build the pad, all with our own machines, and the price comes after we see the ground. Call or text (205) 535-6376.
Ground that was mined
Coal made this town, and some of the land around it has been dug, stripped or tunneled under. Tell us what you know about your tract. On top it clears like any other: pine, sweetgum, briars and brush. Underneath, refilled ground can settle more than ground that was never disturbed, so a pad on it goes in thin lifts with each one compacted before the next. Our house pads page covers how a pad is built.
Drives onto Highway 5 and the county roads
A new drive off State Highway 5 is a question for ALDOT. For a county road, ask Jefferson County, and inside the city, ask Adamsville. Settle it before the culvert is bought, since the office may say what size pipe it wants. Then we cut the drive in, lay base rock, crown it and ditch both sides. See driveways and our guide to driveway culvert permits in Alabama.
Brush and the county burn rules
In Jefferson County the health department sets the burning rules, not the Forestry Commission alone. Open burning is off limits from April through October, and it takes the department's approval the rest of the year. That pushes most brush work toward the mulcher, which grinds briars, privet and saplings where they stand. On a building site, trees too big to mulch are pushed, the stumps raked out and the debris hauled. Our brush clearing page has more.

Can you build a house pad on old coal mine ground near Adamsville?
Often, yes, but tell us up front if the land was mined. Filled or stripped ground can settle, so the pad goes in thin lifts, each one compacted before the next. If there is doubt about what lies under the site, a soils engineer can test it before the slab is planned. We build to the plan and the marks you give us. Call or text (205) 535-6376 for a free estimate.
Who issues driveway permits for a new drive in Adamsville, AL?
It depends on the road. ALDOT handles drives onto state routes such as Highway 5. Inside city limits, start with the City of Adamsville, and for a county road ask Jefferson County. Get the answer before the culvert is ordered. Then we cut, base and crown the drive to what they ask for.
Is there a burn ban for land clearing debris in Adamsville?
Jefferson County has a seasonal one. Its Department of Health says open burning is prohibited from April through October, and burning in the other months needs the department's approval. Check with them before any fire, since rules change. Mulching and hauling are the other two ways to deal with the brush, and both work all year.

How a Job Runs
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.
