Land Clearing in Glen Allen, AL
Glen Allen straddles the Fayette and Marion county line near the head of the Sipsey River. We clear, mulch and cut access on the hill ground around it. Estimates are free.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Glen Allen
Glen Allen lies mostly in north Fayette County with its upper edge in Marion County, east of Winfield and south of I-22. The town limits take in Hubbertville and Bazemore, so a Glen Allen address can be well out in the country. The Sipsey River starts near here as a small stream. This is headwater ground: hills, narrow hollows and branches under pine and hardwood, with pasture where the land opens up.
Fayette County is our home county, so Glen Allen is close to home. Down South Land Solutions is based in Berry and works with our own machines: a Cat dozer, an excavator and tracked loaders with mulching heads. We take land clearing, forestry mulching, driveway and dirt work jobs here and across the line in Marion County. Call or text for a free estimate. We look at the ground first, then give you a figure.
Hill ground at the head of the Sipsey
Around Glen Allen the creeks are small and the slopes do most of the draining. That helps a machine get in, and it is hard on bare dirt. A hillside pushed clean and left alone will wash in the first hard rain. So on slopes we mulch where we can. The head grinds brush and saplings and leaves a chip floor that holds the soil. The dozer is for the spots that have to be bare: a house site, a shop pad or a drive. Our forestry mulching page shows what the head will take.
Crossties, lumber and what loggers leave
Glen Allen was laid out on the railroad in 1889, and its early freight was sand, crossties and lumber, then coal. A BNSF line still runs through town. These hills still grow timber, and a logged tract is a common starting point for a clearing job: tops and slash on the ground and stumps sprouting. Mulching puts it back in shape for replanting, pasture or hunting. If the stumps have to come out for a field or a building, that is clearing, and it is on our land clearing page.
Two counties and two highways
Highway 129 runs north and south through Glen Allen, and Highway 118 crosses the north side of town. Because the town sits on the county line, your land may be in Fayette County or Marion County, and that decides which county engineer to ask about a new entrance on a county road. On a state highway, the entrance is a question for ALDOT. Tell us which side of the line you are on when you call. For new drives and washed-out ones, see driveways and access roads.

DetailsEverything else we do in Glen Allen
Do you clear land in Glen Allen, AL on both the Fayette County and Marion County sides?
Yes. Both counties are in our service area, and the Fayette side is our home county, so the line makes no difference to us. It can matter for county road and records questions, so know which county your parcel is in. See the Fayette County page for more on the ground around here.
Can you clean up a logged-over tract around Glen Allen and Hubbertville?
Yes. Cleaning up behind a logging crew is mulching work: tops, slash and stump sprouts are ground into a chip layer, and the tract is opened back up for replanting, pasture or hunting. Where you plan to build or plow, the stumps come out with the dozer and excavator. Tell us how long ago it was cut.
