Underbrush Clearing Services

Are your beautiful, mature trees hidden behind a wall of tangled vines, briars, and small saplings? This messy underbrush can make your wooded areas unusable, unsafe, and unhealthy for your big trees. Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation can clear out all that junk, transforming your woods into a clean, beautiful, park-like space.

Underbrush Clearing in Jefferson, Hamblen, & Grainger Counties

In East Tennessee, the underbrush can grow fast and thick, turning a nice wooded lot into an impassable jungle. This dense layer of growth not only looks bad, but it also chokes out your desirable large trees, creates a perfect hiding spot for snakes and ticks, and can become a serious fire hazard during dry spells.

At Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation, we offer a powerful solution. We use specialized equipment, like forestry mulchers, to selectively remove all the unwanted undergrowth while leaving your mature, healthy trees completely unharmed. We can get in and clean up the forest floor, turning all that brush into a beneficial layer of mulch in a single pass.

Give Your Woods a Manicured, Park-Like Look

Clearing out the underbrush is one of the best things you can do to improve the health, safety, and beauty of your property. The results are immediate and dramatic.

The benefits of underbrush clearing include:

Instantly Improves Appearance: Your property will look cleaner, bigger, and more valuable.
Reduces Fire Risk: We remove the low-lying “ladder fuels” that can help a ground fire climb into the tops of your trees.
Removes Hiding Spots for Pests: Clearing the brush gives ticks, snakes, and other pests fewer places to hide.
Makes Your Woods Usable: You’ll be able to walk through your property, create trails, or just enjoy the view.
Promotes a Healthier Forest: By removing the competition, your large, desirable trees will get more water, sunlight, and nutrients.

Stop letting undergrowth take over your property. Let us help you reclaim and enjoy your beautiful wooded areas again. To get started with a free estimate, call us today at (865) 805-0543.

Frequently Asked Questions About Underbrush Clearing

How is this different from "land clearing"?

Underbrush clearing is selective. Our goal is to remove all the small, messy growth under your desirable trees, while leaving the large, healthy trees untouched. Land clearing is when we remove everything—big trees included—to create a completely bare piece of land.

What is the best way to clear underbrush?

Forestry mulching is by far the best method. Our mulching machine shreds the underbrush right where it stands and turns it into a layer of mulch. It’s fast, leaves no piles of debris to clean up, and is very healthy for the soil and your remaining trees.

Will clearing the underbrush hurt my big trees?

No, it’s actually very good for them! The undergrowth competes with your large trees for water and nutrients in the soil. By clearing it out, we give your mature trees a better chance to thrive and stay healthy.

What happens to all the brush you clear?

If we use our forestry mulcher, the brush is turned into a natural mulch that stays on the ground. If we use other methods, we can pile the brush and haul it completely off your property. We will discuss the best option for your land and budget.

Is the leftover mulch a fire hazard?

No, it’s the opposite. The mulch lies flat on the ground, holds moisture, and begins to decompose. This makes it much less flammable than the tall, dry, and tangled underbrush that was there before.
