Land Clearing in Cullman, AL
Cullman sits on the Brindley Mountain plateau along I-65, the seat of the top farm county in Alabama. We clear, mulch, dig, grade and tear down here with our own dozer, tracked mulchers and excavator.


Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Cullman
Colonel John Cullmann, a German immigrant, founded Cullman in 1873 on land along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and the town still holds an Oktoberfest every year. It sits on top of the Brindley Mountain plateau at about 814 feet, close to the divide between the Tennessee River and the Black Warrior. I-65 runs through, roughly halfway between Birmingham and Huntsville. Cullman is the largest city in the northeast of our service area, and we take jobs here.
Cullman County leads Alabama in farm production: poultry, beef cattle, sweet potatoes. So the land around the city is working land, and it changes hands and changes use. A field becomes house lots. A fence row gets cleaned out. A wooded corner becomes a shop site. We clear, mulch, dig, grade and tear down with our own dozer, tracked mulchers and excavator, and we price each job after looking at it. Estimates are free. Call or text (205) 535-6376.
Clearing and mulching on plateau ground
Cullman County is Cumberland Plateau country, with hollows cut into the plateau's edges. For brush, privet, briars and saplings, forestry mulching in Cullman clears a lot or a fence row in one pass and leaves chips instead of piles. Single trees and storm-broken tops that a machine can reach from the ground are covered on our tree removal in Cullman page. The city was hit by an EF4 tornado on April 27, 2011, so people here know what storm cleanup involves.
Dirt work for a growing city
Cullman's population has passed 20,000 by recent estimates, and new houses and shops need ground made ready. That means footings dug to plan, trenches for water and power, culverts set, and pads cut and compacted in lifts. See excavating in Cullman and house pads in Cullman. Inside the city, ask the City of Cullman about building and land disturbance permits before work starts. Call Alabama 811 before any digging.
Old houses and what is left behind
An older city has older houses, and some cost more to fix than they are worth. We take them down, haul the debris to a permitted site, break out the slab and footings, and fill and grade the lot. Our house demolition in Cullman page covers permits, utilities and asbestos checks. For rural ground outside the city, including the Smith Lake side, see land clearing in Cullman County.

Does Down South Land Solutions do land clearing in Cullman, AL?
Yes. Cullman and Cullman County are inside the eight west Alabama counties we cover from Berry. We take land clearing, forestry mulching, excavating, house pad, demolition and tree jobs in the city and around it, with our own Cat dozer, tracked mulchers and excavator. Call or text (205) 535-6376 with the location and what is on the ground for a free estimate.
Can you clear overgrown farm fence rows in Cullman County near Cullman?
Yes. Fence rows grow up in privet, cedar and briars until the wire is buried. We mulch them back to a clean line wide enough to get a tractor or a fence crew down. Tell us if there is old wire or posts in the row so the operator knows, and show us where the line runs.
Do I need a permit to clear a lot inside the Cullman city limits?
Ask the City of Cullman before work starts, because the city decides that and its rules can change. Building, demolition and larger land disturbance commonly involve permits in cities, and larger sites can also need an ADEM construction stormwater permit. Whatever limits the permit sets are the limits of the job. Have it in hand before work is set, or ask us what to line up first.
