What you’re probably dealing with

  • You want to expand pasture or hay ground but it has grown up in brush and timber
  • A small-town lot is too overgrown to build on or use
  • River-bottom or low ground near the Falling Water is grown up and unusable
  • Trees and stumps need to be pulled, not just cut off at the ground
  • Some trees are too big for a brush mower or a rented machine

How we solve it

  • Two CAT compact track loaders for heavy clearing and material handling
  • Two CAT mini excavators, the 305-07CR and 308-08CR, to pull stumps and take down big trees
  • CAT 275XE mulcher to grind brush, so we can mulch and excavate on the same job
  • We handle brush, larger trees, stumps, root mats, and rough grade in one project
  • Comfortable on slopes and difficult ground other contractors won’t touch
  • Project-based pricing with a clear written quote after a free on-site walk-through

Land clearing across Baxter and Putnam County

Baxter sits just west of Cookeville along I-40 and SR-56, on ground that runs from small-town building lots to working farmland along the Falling Water River. A lot of property here is pasture and hay ground that has lost acreage to brush and cedar over the years, or wooded ground a family wants opened back up. We clear it down to clean, usable ground with our CAT track loaders and mini excavators.

Whether you are expanding pasture, reclaiming overgrown farmland, or clearing a small-town lot to build on, we take out the brush, remove the larger trees, pull the stumps and root mats, and rough grade so the land is ready to use. We are just up I-40 in Cookeville, so we are on site fast. We work the full Baxter area along I-40 and SR-56.

Common Questions

Land clearing in Baxter, answered

Do you do land clearing in Baxter, TN?

Yes. Baxter is just west of our Cookeville base along I-40, so we are there quick. We clear farmland, pasture, and small-town lots all over the Baxter area.

How do you price land clearing in Putnam County?

Land clearing is priced by the project, not by the hour. The number depends on the acreage, how big the trees are, the terrain, and how you want the debris handled. We walk the property first, then give you a clear written quote before any work starts.

Do you remove stumps and large trees and haul the debris?

Yes. Our CAT mini excavators pull stumps and root mats and take down the big trees a brush cutter cannot touch. Debris can be mulched in place, hauled off, or burned where local rules allow, whatever works best for your ground.

Can you clear pasture or a lot and get it ready to use?

Yes. Whether you are expanding pasture or clearing a lot to build, we carry the job from clearing through rough grading, and on into site prep and septic if you are building. We leave the ground clean and ready for what comes next.
