Land Clearing in Lamar County, AL
Lamar County is quiet timber and farm country on the Mississippi line, one county west of our base in Berry. Long drives, family tracts and fence lines gone to brush are the work this ground makes.
Clearing, Mulching & Dirt Work in Lamar County
Lamar County is the next county west of Fayette County, hard against the Mississippi line. It is oak and pine country on shallow, sandy soil, with a handful of small towns and a lot of land between them. Lumber mills and timber have been part of the economy here since the late 1800s. Much of the rest is pasture, hay ground and family land, and when a place sits for a few years the fence lines are the first thing to close in.
Lamar County is inside our service area. Vernon, the county seat, Sulligent and Millport each have a page, and we take jobs around Kennedy, Beaverton and Detroit too. The machines are ours: a Cat dozer, an excavator and two tracked mulchers. Call or text with where the property is, the acreage and what is growing on it, and we will set up a look. Estimates are free.
Two streams to the Tombigbee
Every drop that falls on Lamar County ends up in the Tombigbee River. The Buttahatchee River takes the north end of the county, and Luxapallila Creek takes the south end past Kennedy and Millport. Sandy soil drains quickly on the hills and washes quickly where it is left bare, and the creek bottoms hold water long after a rain. That mix is why mulching suits so much of this county. The chip layer covers the sand, and tracked machines with low ground pressure cross soft spots without cutting ruts across them.
Fence lines, pasture and long drives
Three jobs fit this county well. A fence line or survey line cut straight and wide enough to work in, usually eight to twelve feet so a truck or tractor can get down it. A pasture brought back from sweetgum and briars without scraping off the topsoil. And a long gravel drive regraded, with the crown and ditches put back so rain sheds to the sides. See fence line clearing and gravel driveway repair. Old wire in the fence row is fine. Just tell us about it first.
Highways and the last hundred feet
US-278 crosses the north end of Lamar County through Sulligent, where it meets Highway 17. Highway 17 runs north to south through the middle, and Highway 18 runs east to west through the center of the county. Highway 96 comes down from Fayette County through Belk to Millport. So the trailer has good road from Berry to most of the county. What we need from you is the last part: the gate width, any bridge or creek crossing, and whether the first hundred feet of drive will carry a loaded truck and trailer.

Yes. All of Lamar County is inside the eight counties we cover, and it borders Fayette County, where we are based. Vernon, Sulligent, Millport, Kennedy, Beaverton and Detroit are all places we take jobs. Call or text with the nearest town and what you need done, and we will set up a time to look.
How wide should a fence line be cleared on Lamar County farm land?
Most people want eight to twelve feet, enough to get a truck or a tractor down the line and keep it mowed afterward. Wider takes more time but makes the line easier to keep. We clear to the line you show us, so if the boundary is in doubt, have a surveyor mark it before the mulcher comes.
Can you fix a long gravel driveway that keeps washing out in Lamar County, AL?
Yes. A drive that washes nearly always has a crown and ditch problem. Water runs down the wheel tracks and takes the fines with it. We regrade the drive, put the crown back, open the ditches, set a culvert where water has to cross, and add rock where it is needed. More gravel alone just gives the water more to carry off.
Will mulching bring back an overgrown pasture in Lamar County?
It takes the woody growth off in one pass and leaves the topsoil where it is, which matters on sandy ground. Sweetgum and briars will try to come back from the roots, so plan on mowing or grazing to hold it. Your county Extension office can tell you what the field needs to carry grass again. We handle the clearing and the dirt work.
