Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Berry
Berry is where we are based. The machines sit here, and a job in town or out toward the North River is as close to home as work gets. Berry lies in the southeastern part of Fayette County, between the North River and Cedar Creek, and the land around it is hill and hollow under pine and hardwood, with pasture on the gentler ground. A good deal of it is family land that has sat a while.
We clear, mulch, dig and grade with our own machines: a Cat dozer, an excavator, and two tracked loaders with mulching heads. Close to home that covers everything from half an acre of privet behind a house to a wooded tract being opened for a home site. You call or text, we come look, and you get a figure before you commit. Small jobs carry a minimum, and we tell you what it is up front.
Between the North River and Cedar Creek
Berry sits on the ground between the North River and Cedar Creek, which feeds it. The North River runs on south to Lake Tuscaloosa and the Black Warrior. That puts creek bottom, draws and wet-weather branches on a good many tracts here. Bottom land stays soft after the hills dry, so it sets the schedule. Our mulchers run on tracks with low ground pressure, which lets them cross soft ground and finished yards without cutting ruts. If a low spot in the drive needs a pipe, see culvert installation.
Old pasture and grown-up home places
Highway 18 runs through Berry, west to Fayette and east to Oakman, and the land on both sides of it is a mix of timber, pasture and old home places. When a field sits two or three seasons, sweetgum and blackberry take it. Five and it is a thicket. Forestry mulching takes that back in one pass: brush, briars, privet and saplings ground to chips, the topsoil left alone, the good trees left standing if you mark them. Stems past roughly six to eight inches are dozer work, and we do that too.
A depot town that knows storms
Berry began as Berry Station, a depot on the Georgia Pacific railroad, and was named for Thompson Berry, a landowner who ran a cotton gin and gristmill. On April 27, 2011, tornadoes struck the town twice in one day. Trees down across a drive or a fence, broken tops and hung-up limbs are work we handle from the ground with the excavator and loaders, wherever a machine can reach. See storm damage tree cleanup.

Who does land clearing and forestry mulching near Berry, AL?
We do, and we are based right here. Down South Land Solutions runs a Cat dozer, an excavator and two tracked mulching machines out of Berry. Brush, privet, briars and saplings get mulched in place. Bigger timber is pushed, the stumps raked out and the ground graded. Call or text (205) 535-6376 for a free estimate.
Do you take small jobs in Berry, like half an acre behind a house?
Yes. Half an acre behind a house is a normal job for us. Very small jobs carry a minimum to cover loading and moving the machine, and we tell you that figure before you agree to anything. Being based in Berry, a small job in town is about as simple as it gets to look at and price.
Can you dig footings or set a driveway culvert for me in Berry, Alabama?
Yes. The excavator digs footings to the size and depth on your plans, trenches water and power runs to a shop or barn, and sets driveway and field-road culverts, bedded, backfilled and covered. An Alabama 811 locate comes before any digging. It does not mark private lines, so tell us about any you ran yourself.

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
