Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Jasper
Coal, coke and sandstone built Jasper. By 1891 the town had six coal mines, two sandstone quarries and four hundred coke ovens, and the country around it has been dug, cut over and grown back more than once since. That history comes with the land around Jasper. You get steep hollows, ridge tops, old mine benches and a lot of ground that went to privet, pine saplings and briars while nobody was looking.

Jasper is the Walker County seat, and it is close to home for us. We are based in Berry, just over the line in Fayette County. State Highway 18 runs east from Berry to meet Highway 69 at Oakman, and 69 carries on up into town. We bring our own machines: a Cat dozer, tracked loaders with mulching heads and an excavator. Estimates are free and priced off your property after a look. Call or text (205) 535-6376.
What the ground around Jasper is like
The county lies on the Cumberland Plateau, over the Warrior Coal Field. That means narrow valleys, broad ridge tops and little flat ground in between. Slopes here wash once they are bare, so we mulch the hillsides and leave the chips down, and save the dozer for the spots that have to be bare dirt. If your ground was strip mined and put back, it is its own case. It has been moved once already, and it can change from loose spoil to broken rock within a few feet. We find out what is there as we dig, and we tell you what we find.
One call, the whole list of work
A job in Jasper tends to start as one thing and turn into two. A wooded tract needs forestry mulching in Jasper before anybody can see the lay of it, or plain brush clearing behind a house. Dead pines over a fence or a shop are machine tree removal. An old home place that has to go is house demolition, and the new one needs a house pad cut, filled and packed in lifts. Footings, trenches, culverts and stumps are excavating work. Same outfit, same machines, first cut to final grade.
Roads, lakes and the permit office
I-22 passes Jasper with exits at Highway 118, Highway 69, Highway 269 and Industrial Parkway, so a truck and trailer can get close to most of the area. The last stretch is what matters: the gate, any bridge and the first hundred feet of the drive. Lewis Smith Lake lies to the north and north-east, where lots are steep and wooded. Inside the city limits, the City of Jasper's building inspections office issues building permits. Ask them what your job needs before work starts.

How much does land clearing cost in Jasper, AL?
It depends on the property, which is why we look before we price. Around Jasper the things that move the number most are slope, the size of the stems, how close a trailer can get, and what happens to the debris. Mulched in place is the least work. Stumps out, burned or hauled, and graded is the most. The estimate is free, and small jobs carry a minimum that you hear before you commit.
Can you clear reclaimed strip mine land near Jasper?
Yes. Taking the pine, brush and briars off reclaimed ground is ordinary mulching or clearing work. Digging on it is where it gets less predictable, because the fill under the surface can be loose spoil, broken rock or old debris. Tell us what you know about the history of the tract when you call. We work out the rest as we dig and tell you what we find before we carry on.
Who do I ask about a building or demolition permit in Jasper, Alabama?
Inside the city limits, start with the City of Jasper's building inspections office, which issues building permits. Outside the city, ask the Walker County offices. A drive that ties into a state highway is a question for ALDOT. Rules change, so check with the office itself before work begins.
