Before you call
Are you really based in Lascassas?
Yes. Rutherford Land Clearing is owned and run by John Leyhew and based in Lascassas, TN. We serve Rutherford County only.
Can you leave the big trees?
Yes. That's the point of mulching over bulldozing. Flag the ones you want kept, or walk it with us, and we clear around them.
What happens to the stumps?
The mulcher grinds them flush with or slightly below the ground and leaves the roots. That's what keeps the soil from washing. If you need stumps pulled for a foundation or a septic field, that's excavation work, and we'll say so up front.
How accurate is the online estimate?
It's a range from your photos and the area you mark, and on most jobs the final price lands inside it. The walk-through is free and is where we give you the firm number.
