Our Services
What Our Land Clearing and Grading Services Include
Before a driveway goes in, a home gets built, or a yard gets reshaped, the ground underneath has to be ready for it, and homeowners and property owners across Ocoee, TN and the surrounding ridge and valley communities count on our land grading contractor team for the property grading, brush clearing, and lot clearing that accounts for our region's red clay soil and sloped terrain. As a land clearing contractor offering full land clearing services and land grading services, we handle property clearing jobs of every size, from small residential lots to larger acreage. Land clearing and grading is where every successful project starts, whether you're prepping a lot for a new driveway, opening up pasture, or fixing a yard that pools water after every storm. We handle the brush removal, tree removal, and land excavation work needed to expose usable ground, then grade and level it so water moves away from your home instead of toward it.
Our crews work across Bradley, Polk, and Hamilton County properties where hillside lots and heavy clay soil make guesswork expensive. Here's what's typically part of the job:
- Brush clearing and underbrush removal
- Tree and stump removal from building sites and lot lines
- Land excavation and rough grading for driveways, pads, and yards
- Grading and leveling for lawns, patios, and drainage
- Erosion control measures on sloped or newly cleared ground
- Debris hauling and site cleanup once clearing is complete
Our approach
How We Handle Land Clearing and Grading Projects
Every property in this part of Tennessee drains differently depending on where it sits on the ridge, and that shapes how our grading contractor plans a clearing and grading job from the start. Here's what to expect when you work with us.
- Step 01
On-site walkthrough and assessment
We walk the property with you, mark the area to be cleared, and check how water currently moves across the site. On hillside lots, this is where we catch drainage problems before they become expensive ones.
- Step 02
Brush clearing and tree removal
Our crew clears brush, small trees, and stumps from the work area using equipment sized for the job, keeping disturbance to the surrounding yard or tree line to a minimum.
- Step 03
Grading and land leveling
We cut and fill as needed to establish proper slope, accounting for Cleveland-area red clay's tendency to hold water and shift when it's not compacted correctly. This step sets the grade for whatever comes next, whether that's a driveway, a foundation, or a lawn.
- Step 04
Final cleanup and site handoff
We haul off debris, smooth the finished grade, and walk the site with you before we call the job done. If drainage or erosion control work is part of the plan, we outline next steps before we leave.

Common Questions
Land Clearing and Grading Questions From Local Property Owners
A few questions we hear often from homeowners planning a clearing or grading project in the Cleveland and Ocoee area.
How much land clearing do I actually need before grading can start?
It depends on the project. A driveway or building pad usually only needs the immediate work area cleared, while a larger lot clearing project for pasture or a new yard may cover the full property. We'll walk the site with you and mark exactly what needs to come out before we quote the job.
Why does grading matter so much on hillside properties?
Grading controls where water goes. On a sloped lot with red clay soil, poor grading can send runoff straight toward a foundation, driveway, or neighboring property. We grade to move water away from structures and toward a drainage path that can actually handle it.
Do you handle brush clearing on properties that aren't being built on right away?
Yes. Some property owners clear brush and overgrowth to open up land for future use, better visibility, or fire prevention without an immediate construction project attached. We can scope a clearing-only job separate from any grading or excavation work.
Can you grade a lot that's already been partially cleared by someone else?
In most cases, yes. We'll assess what's been done, check the existing grade and drainage, and finish the work to make sure the site is properly leveled and compacted before anything is built on it.
