Land Clearing in Centreville, AL
Centreville is the Bibb County seat, on the west bank of the Cahaba River, with timber all around it and the Oakmulgee section of the Talladega National Forest in the south of the county. Down South Land Solutions takes land clearing, logging cleanup, trail and firebreak jobs here with its own tracked machines. Estimates are free: call or text (205) 535-6376.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Centreville
The town grew up at a waterfall on the Cahaba, and early on it went by Falls of the Cahaba before Centreville stuck. It incorporated in 1832, and the city keeps Cahaba River Historical Park on the water. Brent lies across the river. US-82 and State Route 6 run southeast and northwest past town, and Routes 25 and 219 run north and south through the middle of it. Centreville is beyond our first eight counties, but it is inside our service area, and we take jobs here.
Bibb County was rich in ore, coal, clay and timber, and lumber has paid here for a long time. Much of the land around Centreville is pine and hardwood that gets cut, grows back and gets cut again. After a harvest, landowners need the tops and slash dealt with, roads reopened and lines cut. We bring a Cat dozer, an excavator and tracked mulching loaders, and we price the job after we see it.
After the logging crew leaves
Cutover is hard to walk and harder to use. Tops, limbs and stumps lie where they fell, and sweetgum and blackberry come up through them in a season. A mulcher grinds the slash and sprouts so the tract can be replanted, turned to pasture or opened for hunting. See logging cleanup.
Fire lanes beside the national forest
The Oakmulgee section of the Talladega National Forest covers much of southern and southwest Bibb County. Private tracts next to it, and timber that gets burned on a schedule, need firebreaks. Mulching a break keeps a cover of chips on it, and dozing scrapes it down to mineral soil. The Alabama Forestry Commission requires a burn permit for fires over a quarter acre or within 25 feet of woods or grass. Our firebreaks page explains the difference.
Close to the Cahaba
Bottom land along the Cahaba and its creeks can stay soft for weeks, so river tracts are cleared in dry weather and the banks are left in woods. Silt off a bare slope ends up in the river. Work in or next to the river or a wetland is a question for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and larger sites can need an ADEM construction stormwater permit. Brushy tracts can be mulched instead of dozed, which leaves the roots holding the soil.

DetailsEverything else we do in Centreville
Can you clean up land after a timber harvest near Centreville, AL?
Yes. We mulch tops, slash and stump sprouts on cutover so the ground can be replanted, grazed or hunted. Where stumps have to come out for a field or a home site, the dozer and excavator do that. Tell us how many acres were cut and how long ago, and call or text (205) 535-6376 for a free estimate.
Do I need a permit to burn logging debris in Bibb County?
If the burn is over a quarter acre, or within 25 feet of woods or grass, the Alabama Forestry Commission says state law requires its permit. The permit is free. A Fire Alert or a drought No Burn Order can stop burning entirely, so check before every burn. Mulching the debris skips the burn.
Can you cut four-wheeler trails through the woods near Centreville?
Yes. The mulcher opens trails, ATV paths and access lanes through brush and young timber and leaves a chip floor you can ride on. Tell us roughly where the trail should run, and walk it with us or mark it on a satellite map. See trail clearing.
