Land Clearing in Savannah, GA

Serving Savannah · Chatham County

One Family Crew for Savannah Land and Dirt

Savannah sits at the far eastern edge of the ground we cover. We are a Statesboro land clearing outfit, and we run east into Chatham County for the right jobs. Savannah is the county seat, and the land here works nothing like the farm ground back home. Chatham County covers about 632 square miles, and close to a third of that is water. Marsh, tidal creeks and river frontage carve the buildable land into pockets. A clearing plan that works on 20 open acres inland does not fit a coastal lot ringed by marsh.

Chatham County runs between the Savannah River on one side and the Ogeechee River on the other. Ogeechee Road, US 17, heads southwest past Georgetown toward the Little Ogeechee. Highway 80 runs the other way, east through Whitemarsh Island to Wilmington Island. We take land clearing work on both sides of the city, out west and on the islands. Savannah is about an hour from our base in Statesboro, so we load the machines and drive over. For a lot that needs real machine time, the trip pays for itself. Tell us the acreage and the address, and CJ will come look at it and price the work.

What is the ground like around Savannah?

Most of Chatham County is flat coastal plain. The high ground runs sandy, and the low spots stay wet. The water table sits close to the surface, so a lot can hold water for days after rain. Tracked machines carry better on that than wheels, which is why the CAT 265 comes on every job.

The tree cover here is coastal, with live oaks, cabbage palmetto, red cedar and pine over the understory. Under them grow saw palmetto, wax myrtle, yaupon holly and beautyberry. That growth is thick and stringy, and it hides fence lines, ditches and old stumps. Forestry mulching suits it, since the mulcher head cuts it down and leaves the chips on the ground.

What does a Savannah clearing job usually involve?

Lot prep comes up most around Savannah, where an infill parcel gets opened for a house pad or a driveway. The other common call is a parcel that has grown up in brush and small pine for years. Both start the same way, cutting and pulling what has to go, then mulching the rest. Tree removal here is machine work, with the excavator pushing and digging and chainsaws for felling. Clearing in unincorporated Chatham County needs a land disturbing permit, and Savannah sets its own rules inside the city limits.

Storm cleanup fills out the rest of the work. Helene came through Chatham County in September 2024 with gusts near 76 miles per hour. Hundreds of trees came down in Savannah alone. After a blow like that we clear the downed timber and haul it off on the dump trailer. Stump removal means digging the root ball out whole with the excavator, since we do not grind.

Questions From Savannah Property Owners

A few of the questions we hear most around Savannah. Don't see yours? Call us — we're happy to help.

Call (912) 712-6034

What does land clearing cost in Savannah?
Cost depends on the property. Acreage, tree size, how thick the brush is, and how wet the ground stays all move the number. Hauling debris off a Chatham County lot with tight access costs more than mulching in place. CJ looks at the property first and gives you a free estimate.
Do you grind stumps in Savannah?
No. We dig stumps out with the CAT 308 excavator, roots and all, then haul them off your property. Digging leaves clean ground for a building pad, a driveway or new grass. Grinding leaves roots in the soil, so we do not offer it.
How far do you travel for Savannah jobs?
Savannah is about an hour east of Statesboro, and we take jobs there. We haul the track loader and excavator over on the gooseneck for work that fills a day or more. Call or text (912) 712-6034 with your acreage and location, and CJ will set a time to look at it.
