Got a plateau home site near Monterey covered in heavy timber and steep ground? We take down the big trees, clear the brush, pull the stumps, and grade it so you can build. Our CAT fleet is built for exactly this kind of ground.
Get My Free Site EstimateMonterey sits up on the Cumberland Plateau at the eastern edge of Putnam County, and the ground here is different from the rest of the county. The elevation is higher, the timber is heavier, and the trees run bigger. A lot of plateau home sites are buried under mature timber on slopes that smaller machines cannot work safely. That is the kind of clearing our CAT track loaders and mini excavators were built for.
We clear plateau building lots by dropping and removing the larger trees, mulching and clearing the brush, pulling the stumps and root mats, and rough grading the pad so you can build. Steep ground does not scare us off. We work the full Monterey area and the plateau stretches along I-40, SR-62, and SR-84.
Want the brush handled without the big trees? We also do forestry mulching in Monterey. Need more than clearing? We carry jobs through site preparation and grading and septic installation. See everything we do in the area on our Putnam County page, or read more about our land clearing service.
Real job, real terrain, no stock footage. This is our equipment working through brush and trees in the Upper Cumberland.

From Gravel Driveway Recovery. Same crew, same standards.Yes. We work the full Monterey area up on the Cumberland Plateau. The heavier timber and steep ground here are exactly what our CAT track loaders and mini excavators are built to handle.
Land clearing is priced by the project, not by the hour. On plateau ground the cost depends on the acreage, how big the timber is, how steep the terrain runs, and how you want the debris handled. We walk the site first, then give you a clear written quote.
Yes. Monterey has bigger, heavier timber than most of the county. Our CAT mini excavators, the 305-07CR and 308-08CR, take down large trees and pull stumps and root mats so the lot is clean and workable, not just cut off at the ground.
Yes. We are comfortable on slopes that smaller skid steers cannot work safely, and we carry a job from clearing through site prep and septic. Once the timber, brush, and stumps are gone, we rough grade the pad so you can build.
