Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Fayette
Four highways meet in Fayette: US-43, Highway 18, Highway 171 and Highway 96. That makes the county seat the middle of Fayette County in every way that counts. In town the work is lots. An overgrown back line, a wooded parcel being opened for a house, an old shed coming down. A short way out it turns to pasture, pine and hardwood, with the Sipsey River bottom lying just east of town.
Down South Land Solutions is based in Berry, in the same county, so Fayette is close to home. We bring our own Cat dozer, excavator and tracked mulching machines, and we take the small jobs along with the big ones. Estimates are free and are priced off the property once we have seen it. Call or text (205) 535-6376 and tell us what is growing and how a trailer gets in.
The Sipsey bottom east of town
Highway 18 crosses the Sipsey River just east of Fayette. The Sipsey is a slow, swampy river, one of the last free-flowing swamp streams in Alabama, and the low ground along it holds water. If your land runs down toward it, the high part and the low part are two different jobs. Hills can be mulched or cleared most of the year. The bottom waits for dry weather. Wetlands and streams come under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, so ask them before clearing or ditching in the swamp itself.
Lots in town
Inside Fayette, clearing means working close to houses, fences and lines in the ground. Machines on tracks do it without tearing up the yard next door, and the mulcher leaves chips where a burn pile would have been. For a building site the stumps come out and the ground is graded. See lot clearing for new homes and excavating in Fayette. An Alabama 811 locate comes before any digging, and it does not mark private lines such as a water line you ran yourself. Ask the city about permits before a building comes down or goes up.
Out US-43 and Highway 171
North on US-43 toward Winfield, east toward Bankston, and south on Highway 171 toward Newtonville, the country opens into timber and hay ground. Hardwood flooring and lumber are made in Fayette, so logging is part of life here, and a cutover full of tops and stump sprouts is work a mulcher handles well. So is a fence line grown shut or a hunting lane. A field you plan to plow needs the stumps out, and that is a dozer job. More on forestry mulching in Fayette and across Fayette County.

One job, one town: Fayette pages
Do you clear residential lots inside the Fayette, AL city limits?
Yes. Lot clearing next to houses is normal work: brush and privet mulched, trees taken down from the ground where a machine has room, stumps pulled and the lot graded. Ask the city what permits apply before building or demolition. Text a photo of the lot to (205) 535-6376 and we will set up a time to look.
Can you pull stumps out of a yard in Fayette, Alabama?
Yes. We pull the stump and root ball whole with the excavator, fill and pack the hole, and pull the ground back level so it is not a trip hazard or a place water stands. The mulching head can also take a stump flush with the ground when the roots can stay. Tell us how many stumps and how big.
When can land along the Sipsey River near Fayette be cleared?
When it is dry enough to carry a machine. The Sipsey is a swamp river, and its bottom holds water well after the hills have dried. Tracked machines help, but the ground still sets the date. The higher part of a tract can usually be done sooner. Ask the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before clearing in wetlands.
