Tullahoma land clearing is priced per acre by density: light brush is the entry tier, medium timber steps up, and heavy timber tops the range. Stump grinding adds a per-acre charge on top. Permits required for over 1 acre or near waterways.
Light Brush Clearing
Pasture restoration, fence-line clearing, lot prep on previously-cleared land. Small trees, brush, vines. Skid steer with brush cutter handles most of it. This is the entry tier per acre.
Tullahoma agricultural properties commonly need this scope. Cost depends on terrain (flat easier than steep) and accessibility.
Medium Timber
Mixed hardwood and softwood, 6-18 inch diameter trees, dense brush. Excavator with thumb attachment plus chainsaw work. This is the mid tier per acre.
Most Tullahoma residential lot clearing for new construction lands here. A typical 1-acre lot sits in the middle of the range.
Heavy Timber
Mature 18+ inch diameter hardwoods, dense canopy, steep terrain. Specialty equipment, longer timeline. This is the top tier per acre.
Coffee County properties with mature woodlands. Some clients harvest timber value first; we coordinate with logging operations.
Stump Grinding
Surface grinding for visual cleanup is the lighter per-acre charge. Full grinding to 18+ inches deep for new-construction sites costs more per acre.
Skipping stump grinding leaves stumps that interfere with future use. Grinding now is cheaper than later.
Permits and Erosion Control
Coffee County requires land-disturbance permits for over 1 acre or near waterways. Erosion control during construction (silt fence, hay bales) required by stormwater regulations.
We pull permits and coordinate erosion control. Permit fees are a small line for residential, more for commercial.
