Who Shows Up
One crew, one machine, straight answers
Liberty County Land Clearing is a small forestry mulching operation based in Cleveland. Here's who runs it, what we run, and what we don't do.
Owner-operated, one crew
Liberty County Land Clearing is owner-operated out of Cleveland. The owner runs the machine on most jobs himself rather than sending a crew out solo. If you call, there's a decent chance you're talking to the person who'll actually be clearing your lot.
Why run it this way instead of on someone else's crew? The short version: watching Colony Ridge and the acreage around it fill up with new owners who had no idea what a raw lot actually cost to clear, or how fast a bad quote could turn into a change order, was reason enough. Straight per-acre pricing before the machine shows up isn't complicated. Most of this trade just doesn't bother doing it.
What we run
One tracked skid steer carrying a forestry mulching head handles the bulk of the work, brush, saplings, and standing timber up to the head's rated diameter get ground into mulch in a single pass. A compact excavator handles stump and root work on lot-clearing jobs where a pad needs to come down below grade. That's the fleet. We don't own a bulldozer and we don't do dozer-and-burn clearing.
How a job actually gets booked
- You call, text, or fill out the quote form. Photos, a pin drop, or a plat get you a first number the same day in most cases.
- We confirm density and access. A quick back-and-forth by phone or text usually settles this without a site visit for straightforward lots.
- You get a written price. Per acre or per lot, before anything is scheduled.
- We schedule a date. Usually within a week, sometimes sooner depending on the calendar.
- The job runs. The owner or the crew works the property to the agreed scope and walks it with you or sends video when it's done.
- You pay on completion. Check or card, invoice handed over the same day.
One limit worth knowing: we're a two-person operation on most jobs, not a fleet of crews running five sites at once. That keeps quality consistent but it also means our schedule fills up during peak clearing season, spring and early fall, faster than a bigger outfit's would.
