Forestry Mulching
We grind underbrush and small trees in place with a forestry mulcher. The mulch stays on the ground and covers the soil.

Land clearing turns an overgrown lot or tract back into ground you can use. Southern Grind Solutions clears land around Broxton and the surrounding counties. We clear lots for a new house or a mobile home. We also open up grown-over acreage on farms and hunting land, along with fence lines and pond banks.
The clearing is machine work. A forestry mulcher grinds brush and small trees where they stand, and the mulch stays on the ground. Where you want the big trees kept and only the underbrush gone, forestry mulching may be all you need. On a house lot, the clearing can roll straight into site prep for a new home.
Tell us about the new septic system, the land to clear or the dirt work and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Lot clearing opens the ground where a new house or a mobile home will sit. We clear brush and small trees off the building spot and the space around it. A lot with no sewer line also needs room for a septic system.
On a lot that will use septic, call the county environmental health office before the clearing starts. In Coffee County, its septic application even asks whether the site is cleared. Ask how much clearing the office wants before its site visit.
When we also handle septic tank installation on the lot, the clearing and the septic work run as one job. On a low lot, a built-up mobile home pad can follow, so water drains away from under the home.
Sometimes. Georgia's erosion rules list clearing as land-disturbing activity, along with grading and filling. Jobs that disturb less than one acre are often exempt. That exemption leaves out jobs within 200 feet of state waters and jobs that are part of a bigger development.
For the 200-foot rule, a ditch that only carries water after a rain does not count. Georgia also sets a 25-foot buffer along the banks of state waters. It is measured from the point on the bank where the water has worn away the plants. State waters can include creeks, branches and ponds that are not wholly on one owner's land.
Clearing a creek bank or a pond bank can fall under that buffer. Farm work and forestry work have exemptions of their own. Coffee County's erosion ordinance follows the state rules, and a city like Douglas runs its own permit office. The county building and zoning office or the city answers that question for your land, and we point you there.
Fence lines and field edges fill in with brush and small trees when nobody cuts them back. We clear them so you can reach the fence and work the whole field. On hunting land, clearing can open up an old field that has grown over.
An old homeplace or an empty lot can disappear under brush and vines. We clear it back so you can see the ground and plan what comes next. Pond banks can be cleared too, once you know whether the buffer rule applies.
A field of tall grass and weeds calls for bush hogging instead. Broxton sits at the center of our service area. We take land clearing jobs across Coffee County and the counties around it.

Georgia law requires a Georgia 811 locate request before mechanized digging, so buried lines get marked first. Then the clearing, the septic dig, the dirt work or the teardown begins.
On a septic job, Georgia's rules keep the system uncovered until the county's final inspection and written approval. Then we backfill and rough grade, and every job ends with the site cleaned up.
