Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Hanceville
Hance Kinney, an Irish immigrant, is the man Hanceville is named after. The town was founded in Blount County, was at one time split between two counties, and has been wholly in Cullman County from 1901 on. Today it is home to Wallace State Community College and the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Hanceville is in the southeast of the county on US-31, south of Cullman, and it is inside our service area for land clearing, mulching and dirt work.
Hanceville sits lower than Cullman, at about 550 feet, on the side of the county that drains to the Mulberry Fork of the Black Warrior. That fork forms the line between Cullman and Blount counties. Ground that falls toward a river has slopes, draws and wet spots, and each needs its own handling. We mulch slopes, clear and grade flat ground for building, and shape drainage so water leaves.

Old home sites and trailers
Hanceville, like every older town, has lots where a house or a mobile home has sat empty too long. We tear down single-wides and double-wides where they sit, along with porches, steps and sheds, haul the debris to a permitted site, and grade the spot. The pad for a new home can be cut and packed on the same trip. See mobile home removal in the Cullman area. Ask the county revenue office about the title and taxes on the old home before it comes down.
Slopes, draws and the river side
Ground that drains toward a river has draws in it. A dozer on a slope leaves bare dirt that washes into the draw below. A mulcher leaves roots and chips, and the hill stays put. So we mulch what can be mulched and keep the dozer for places that have to be bare, like a house site or a drive. Near the river or any stream, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the office to ask before dirt is moved.
Pasture and small farms
Cullman County leads Alabama in agricultural production, and beef cattle are a large part of that. Pasture that sits a few seasons goes to sweetgum, blackberry and privet. We mulch it back without scraping off the topsoil, and pull stumps where you mean to cut hay. Our pasture reclamation page explains the steps, and land clearing in Cullman County covers the rest of the county from Hanceville to the Smith Lake side.

Do you remove old mobile homes in Hanceville, AL?
Yes. We demolish single-wides and double-wides where they sit and haul all of it to a permitted site, with metal kept apart for scrap where that makes sense. Porches, steps, skirting and sheds on the lot can go on the same trip. Ask the Cullman County revenue office what it needs for the title. The estimate is free: call or text (205) 535-6376.
Should I pull stumps or leave them when clearing land near Hanceville?
It depends on what the ground is for. If you are building, plowing or cutting hay, the stumps and root balls should come out, and we pull them with the excavator or rake them out with the dozer, then fill the holes. If you only want the land open for pasture, trails or a view, cutting them flush with the mulcher is quicker and costs less. Our stump removal vs stump grinding guide compares the options.
Can you clear brush on a hillside lot in Hanceville without causing washouts?
That is what mulching is for. The head grinds briars, privet and saplings where they stand, the roots stay in the ground, and the chips cover the soil. Nothing is scraped bare. On the steepest parts we may leave a strip of growth or run the lanes across the hill. Where water already concentrates, a swale or ditch gives it a path.
