River bottoms and bluffs in Carthage grown up too thick to use? We open them back up. We clear underbrush, cedar, and small trees in a single pass. No burn piles. No hauling. Just clean, usable ground.
Get My Free Site EstimateCarthage is the Smith County seat, sitting right where the Caney Fork meets the Cumberland River, with Cordell Hull Lake just upstream. It is river country, which means a lot of bottoms and a lot of bluffs. River-bottom ground grows up thick and fast, and the bluffs are steep enough that most machines cannot work them safely. That is exactly the kind of work the CAT 275XE was built for.
We mulch brush, cedar, and saplings in a single pass and leave the ground clean and usable. Nothing to burn, nothing to haul. We are based in Cookeville and reach Carthage by SR-25, and we work the full county along SR-25 and SR-263.
Need more than mulching? We also handle full land clearing, site preparation and grading, and septic installation in Smith County. See everything we do in the area on our Smith County page, or read more about our forestry mulching service.
Real job, real terrain, no stock footage. This is the HM418 mulching head working through cedar and brush in the Upper Cumberland.
“We previously had Gravel Driveway Recovery come out and resurface our driveway. We were so impressed that we contacted Richard again and had them come back out and do Forestry Mulching to give us easier access to the creek and meadow around…”

From Gravel Driveway Recovery. Same crew, same standards.Yes. We work throughout Carthage and all of Smith County, from the Cumberland River bottoms and the Caney Fork confluence to the bluffs and the property around Cordell Hull Lake. We are based in Cookeville and reach Carthage by SR-25, so we cover the area regularly.
We bill at $250 per hour portal-to-portal with the CAT 275XE and HM418 mulcher. Light brush runs about 1 to 2 hours per acre. Heavy cedar or thick saplings can run 4 to 6 hours per acre. We give you a clear estimate after walking the property.
Yes. River-bottom and bluff clearing is exactly the kind of work we do around Carthage. The bottoms along the Cumberland and the Caney Fork grow up thick and fast, and the bluffs are steep. The CAT 275XE with the HM418 head handles the heavy growth and the slope that rental skid steers cannot, and it leaves the hardwoods you want to keep.
No. Forestry mulching grinds the brush and small trees in place and leaves a mulch layer on the ground. No burn piles, no smoke, no hauling, and the mulch protects the soil and slows regrowth.
