Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Amory
The Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad founded Amory in 1887 as a service stop on its line between Memphis and Birmingham. It was a planned railroad town from the start, and it still holds a Railroad Festival in Frisco Park downtown. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway forms the northwest edge of the city, with the Amory Lock on the north side. US-278 crosses the south side of town as Sixth Avenue and runs on toward Sulligent, Alabama. Amory is the largest city in Monroe County, and it is inside our service area, where we take jobs.
Main Street is State Highway 25, and Highway 6 heads northwest toward Tupelo. Around a town this size, the jobs are wooded lots to clear for a house, brush to clear off a back acre, pads for a home or shop, and drives that need building or fixing. We bring a Cat dozer, an excavator and tracked mulching loaders, and we price the job after seeing it.
Lots for a new house
Clearing a house site goes in order. The trees that have to go come down, the stumps come out whole, the brush is mulched, and the drive is roughed in so trucks can reach the site. Then the pad is cut and filled in lifts, packed as it goes. Give us the plan or the surveyor's corner pins and the pad goes where it belongs. See house pads.
Stiff soil and wet ground
Parts of Monroe County have black lime soil from the Selma chalk, rich and stiff. Wherever the ground is that heavy, water leaves slowly, so a pad needs to sit above the yard around it and a drive needs a crown and ditches to stay firm. Near the Tombigbee, low woods can be wetland, so ask the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before clearing them. See driveways.
Rules before the work
In Mississippi, a locate request to Mississippi 811 comes before any digging, and the law requires it. A drive onto US-278 or Highway 25 needs a permit from the Mississippi Department of Transportation. Disturbing an acre or more brings in MDEQ's construction stormwater permit. For burning, the Mississippi Forestry Commission handles forestry and farm burns, while land clearing piles follow local rules and MDEQ. Inside the city, ask Amory what it requires.

Can you clear a wooded lot for a house in Amory, MS?
Yes. We take down the trees, pull the stumps, deal with the brush, rough in the drive and build the pad, all with our own machines. Tell us the lot size and what is standing on it. Call or text (205) 535-6376 for a free estimate on an Amory lot.
How do I get rid of brush on a lot in Amory without burning it?
Mulch it. A forestry mulcher grinds briars, privet and saplings where they stand and leaves chips, so there is no pile and no burn to plan. Trees too big to mulch are handled as a clearing job with the dozer and excavator. Our page on brush clearing shows how a lot looks after.
Do I need an MDOT permit for a new driveway on Highway 278 near Amory?
A drive that connects to a state or U.S. highway needs a permit from the Mississippi Department of Transportation, so ask MDOT before the culvert is bought. For a city street, ask the City of Amory, and for a county road, ask Monroe County. Once you have the answer, we cut, rock and crown the drive to fit.

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.
