Watson Outdoor Living does land clearing in Macon, Georgia. Macon is the far west end of the ground we cover. We are based in Statesboro, and the run up I-16 to Bibb County takes about two hours with the machines on the gooseneck. We make that trip for jobs that fill a day or more, and the estimate is free either way. Macon and Bibb County merged into one government in 2014, so most of the county is Macon now, from the Ocmulgee River downtown out to Lizella and Lake Tobesofkee on the west side and Hartley Bridge Road on the south.
The ground here is unlike anything in our home county. Macon sits on the fall line, where the rolling Piedmont hills meet the flat coastal plain. North of town the lots climb, and the soil turns to red clay under oak and hickory. South of town the ground flattens into deep sand over clay, and pine takes over. A tract in Shirley Hills clears differently than a tract off Houston Road. The CAT 275 track loader with the forestry mulcher handles the brush and small trees on both. The CAT 308 excavator digs out the stumps, roots and all, and the debris leaves on the dump trailer or gets mulched in place.

Clay. The north half of Bibb County is Piedmont ground, and under the topsoil sits red clay that holds water after a rain and turns hard in a dry spell. Stumps in clay come out with more effort than stumps in sand, because the roots grip and the dirt does not fall away from them. We plan those jobs for the excavator from the start. On the south side the sand hills drain fast, and a cleared lot there dries out and grows back in scrub pine within a few seasons if nothing gets planted.
Slope matters here too. Shirley Hills was platted in 1922 on wooded hills, and much of North Macon carries the same canopy of pine, dogwood and magnolia. A wooded lot on that side can fall away steeply from the street to the back line. We keep the mulcher on the slope and let the track loader spread its weight instead of cutting ruts. Brush clearing under the big trees opens the lot up without taking the canopy that gives those streets their shade.
Most of the Macon calls we can take are on the edges of the county, where lots run to acreage. That means the Lizella and Lake Tobesofkee side out Highway 80 west, the Hartley Bridge Road corridor south toward I-475, and the farm and timber ground east of the Ocmulgee toward the Twiggs County line. Closer in, we take wooded lots in North Macon and along the Gray Highway side where a house is going up or a backyard has gone back to woods.
Bigger tracts work best for the drive. Forestry mulching on several acres, a homesite that needs clearing, stump removal after a timber cut, or grading for a pad and driveway all fit. A single stump in a subdivision yard usually does not, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than charge you for the trip.

Forestry mulching grinds standing brush and small trees into mulch on the spot. We run a CAT 275 with a mulcher head, and the chips stay on your ground as cover.

We dig stumps out with a CAT 308 excavator instead of grinding them. The stump and root ball come up whole, get hauled off, and the hole gets backfilled and leveled.

Watson exceeded our expectations with his attention to detail and his ability to meet our timeline. I will recommend them to anyone!
Truly one of the best young men I’ve worked with. Him and his team exceeded my expectations. I’ve had them come for landscaping and debris removal, and each time I’m pleased. I recommended him to a few co-workers of mine and they consistently thought the pricing was reasonable.
Excellent, professional work!
I’m so happy that you do such amazing work.
