Lot Clearing
We clear single lots in town, including overgrown lots and the lot left after a teardown. Trees and stumps come out by machine, and the ground is rough-leveled for what comes next.

Land clearing turns wooded or overgrown acreage into open ground you can use. Hollingsworth and Son Construction clears land around Fayetteville, Raeford and the Sandhills. We take out the trees and brush with a dozer and an excavator, and the stumps come out by machine. The ground is then ready for a new house or a pasture.
Clearing an acre of land is a call we get all the time. It is part of the site work we do beside our main job as a demolition contractor in Fayetteville. Call or text (910) 527-1108, and we will look at the land and put the quote in writing.

Our land clearing services take the trees and brush off your acreage, stumps included. The dozer pushes the cleared growth into piles. The stumps come out of the ground with the excavator and the dozer.
Brush clearing comes with the job, so the thick growth under the trees goes too. When we finish, open ground sits where the woods stood. If that ground needs rough grading for a house site, that is dozer work we also do.
Every land clearing job leaves a lot of cleared material behind. We haul it off, or we leave it in piles on your land if you want it there. The written quote says which one you are getting.
Loading and hauling the cleared material is part of our debris removal work. Hauling it off leaves the ground open for the next step.
If you plan to burn piles left on your land, the NC Division of Air Quality sets the rules. Land clearing burn piles must be at least 500 feet from occupied structures. Burning is allowed only between eight in the morning and six in the evening, and only on Code Green or Code Yellow air quality days. Local burn bans and NC Forest Service permits can apply too.
Federal soil maps show loamy sand across much of Fayetteville and Raeford. The federal descriptions of Wagram and Blaney, two main soils there, list loblolly and longleaf pine for wooded ground. FEMA flood maps for the two towns cover creeks such as Cross Creek and Rockfish Creek. Some of the low, wet ground near those creeks may be wetland.
Once the stumps are out, bare ground can wash into those creeks in a hard rain. State law calls sediment in streams and lakes a major pollution problem. Clearing more than one acre usually needs an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan first. As a rule, the plan is filed at least 30 days before the work starts.
In Cumberland County and Hoke County, plans go to the state's erosion and sediment control program. Southern Pines and Whispering Pines run their own erosion programs. Clearing some wetlands with machines can also need a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Those offices answer permit questions, and we point you there.
