You talk to CJ when you call, and CJ is in the cab when the work happens. Questions get answered by the person doing the job, from the estimate to the last pass.

The CAT 265 mulches and grapples, the CAT 308 digs, lifts and loads. Clearing, trees, stumps, grading and haul-off finish as one project with one estimate.

Real Numbers, Free Estimates

Estimates happen at the property because clearing prices live in the details. You get a number that holds, and any change in scope gets discussed before it costs anything.

Statesboro Based

What You Can Expect

How a Job With Watson Runs

From the first look at the property to the last pass of the grapple, here is exactly how it goes.

1

Look at the Land

We come see the property first: the growth, the ground under it, access for the machines, and what you want the land to become. Clearing prices live in details a phone call cannot see.

2

Free Estimate

You get a real number and a real timeline, and what it covers is spelled out: clearing, stumps, grading, debris. It holds unless the scope changes, and you hear about any change before it costs anything.

3

Machines Do the Work

The CAT 265 and 308 show up when we said they would. Brush gets mulched or piled, trees and stumps come out, dirt gets shaped, and debris leaves on the trailer.

4

Finish Clean

We go over the finished ground with you before we leave. Smooth dirt you can mow, grade or build on, and a property that looks better than the day we pulled in.

FAQ

Questions Landowners Ask Us Most

The questions Southeast Georgia property owners ask before they hire us. If yours is not here, call. You will be talking to the owner who runs the machines.

Call (912) 712-6034

What areas do you serve?
We work out of Statesboro and cover about 50 miles in every direction. That takes in Bulloch, Candler, Evans, Screven, Emanuel, Toombs, Bryan, Effingham, Chatham and Liberty counties, from Brooklet and Metter out to Savannah, Pooler and Hinesville. If you are close to that circle, call and we will tell you quickly if we can get there.
What services do you offer?
Land clearing, forestry mulching, brush and underbrush clearing, tree removal, stump removal, excavation, grading and leveling, dirt work, and small residential demolition like sheds and old driveways. Most projects combine two or three of those, and the same two machines handle the whole list in one mobilization.
Do you grind stumps?
No. We remove stumps a different way: the CAT 308 excavator digs the whole stump out, roots included, and we haul it off and backfill the hole. You end up with clean ground you can build on, pour over, or replant. If grinding is truly the better fit for your job, we will say so.
How much does land clearing cost?
It depends on the acreage, how thick the growth is, how wet the ground runs, and what happens to the debris. A real number takes a look at the property, so estimates are free and happen on site. For market ballparks, our land clearing cost guide on the blog covers what Georgia jobs typically run.
What is the difference between land clearing and forestry mulching?
Land clearing removes trees and brush entirely and leaves open, workable dirt that is ready for grading or a pad. Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees where they stand, and the mulch stays down as ground cover, so nothing gets burned or hauled. We run both and will tell you which one your property calls for.
What equipment do you run?
A CAT 265 compact track loader that swaps between a forestry mulcher head and a root grapple, and a CAT 308 excavator for trees, stumps, digging and loading. Debris leaves on our dump trailer. That pair covers everything from a fence line to a full lot.
Can you take a wooded lot all the way to build-ready?
Yes. Clearing, stump removal, rough grading and pad work are all our jobs, so a wooded parcel can go to a build-ready site in one project instead of three contractors. Tell us what you are planning to put on the land and we will clear and shape it with that end in mind.
How do I get started?
Call or text (912) 712-6034, or send the form on this page. We will talk through the job, come look at the property, and get you a free estimate. You will be dealing with the owner who runs the machines, start to finish.
