Land Clearing
We clear overgrown lots and acreage around Broxton and the surrounding counties. Brush and small trees come down, and the land opens up for a new home or a farm.

Much of the ground around Baxley is flat and sandy, with a high water table. In the most common soils here, that water can rise to within two feet of the surface. Georgia's septic rules call for an evaluation of that seasonal high water before a permit. So a new house or mobile home on a lot without sewer starts with the soil.

Baxley counted 4,942 people in the 2020 Census, up from 4,400 in 2010. The Census Bureau estimates the town passed 5,000 people in 2025. The city reported permits for 17 new single-family homes that year.
The median Baxley home was built around 1982, by Census survey estimates. Close to half went up before 1980. About one home in four inside the city is a mobile home. Across Appling County, it is about one in three.
Inside the city limits, ask City Hall whether a sewer line reaches your lot. Where none does, a new house or mobile home needs its own septic system. On low ground, a built-up mobile home pad sends rain away from under the home. When an old house or mobile home has to come down first, our demolition work clears the lot.
The federal soil survey maps mostly flat, sandy soils around Baxley. Mascotte and Leefield soils are among the most common, and both drain slowly. In the wettest spots, water can stand at the surface. Well-drained soils like Fuquay show up on the higher ground.
NRCS soil maps rate most soils around Baxley as limited for drain fields. The main reasons are the high water table and slow water movement. That is why the soil evaluation on each lot decides the system.
Low ground along the creeks floods too. FEMA's flood map shows flood zones along Tenmile Creek north of town and Sweetwater Creek to the west. Check your lot on FEMA's map before you pick a home site or a drain field spot.
Septic permits for Baxley come from the environmental health office at the Appling County Health Department. It is part of the Southeast Health District. Georgia's rules say work on a lot that will use septic waits for that construction permit.
The district's application asks whether the house site is staked and whether the site is cleared. It also asks for a sketch that places the proposed tank and drain field on the lot. Georgia's septic manual lists one acre as the minimum lot for a typical home on a private well. With public water, it lists half an acre.
Nobody may backfill the system until the county makes a final inspection and approves it in writing. We set the tank and lay the drain field lines, and the inspection comes before the cover goes on. City permits and rezoning requests inside the city limits go through the City of Baxley. Outside the city limits, ask the Appling County commissioners' office about zoning.
Appling County was once known as the Turpentine Capital of the World. If your land has grown back thick with brush and young pines, forestry mulching grinds that growth in place. The mulch stays on the ground as cover.
North of town, the county reaches the Altamaha River, where Plant Hatch sits along US 1. On hunting land toward the river, we cut shooting lanes and trails through brush and pines. For a lot or a field grown up in weeds, bush hogging cuts it back down.
