Got a lake lot or a bluff building site around Center Hill grown up in heavy cedar? We clear the brush and cedar, take out the big trees, pull the stumps, and grade it so you can build your lake home. We work the steep bluff ground other crews avoid.
Get My Free Site EstimateSmithville is the DeKalb County seat, set above Center Hill Lake in some of the prettiest lake country in Middle Tennessee. The ground here is known for heavy cedar and steep bluff sites, and a lot of the best lake lots are buried under thick growth on slopes that smaller machines cannot work safely. Clearing a lake-home site takes equipment that can take down real timber and hold steep ground, which is what our CAT track loaders and mini excavators are built for.
We clear lake lots and bluff building sites by clearing the heavy cedar and brush, dropping and removing the larger trees, pulling the stumps and root mats, and rough grading the pad so you can build. We can open up a lake view while leaving the trees you want to keep. We work the full DeKalb County area, including Smithville and the corridors along SR-56 and US-70.
Want the brush handled without the big trees? We also do forestry mulching in Smithville. Need more than clearing? We carry jobs through site preparation and grading and septic installation. See everything we do in the area on our DeKalb 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 Smithville area and all of DeKalb County, including the lake lots and bluff sites around Center Hill Lake. The heavy cedar and steep ground here are what our CAT fleet is built to handle.
Land clearing is priced by the project, not by the hour. The number depends on the acreage, how heavy the cedar is, how steep the bluff sits, and how you want the debris handled. We walk the site first, then give you a clear written quote.
Yes. The bluff sites around Center Hill are steep, and we are comfortable on slopes that smaller skid steers cannot work safely. We clear the cedar and brush, take down the big trees, pull the stumps, and rough grade the pad so you can build.
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 lake lot.
