Professional Landscape Clearing & Outdoor Debris Removal

At Southern Hauling and Clearing, we provide dependable landscape removal services for residential and commercial properties. From overgrown vegetation to storm-damaged debris, our team clears any shrubs, ivy, or smaller trees you need removed, helping restore your property and prepare it for its next use.

Why Choose Our Landscape Removal Services?

Experienced & Equipped

Using low-impact mini skid steer equipment, we provide "reverse landscaping"—efficiently removing overgrown bushes, old concrete, and unwanted structures from tight-access backyards that larger machines can't reach.

Storm & Cleanup Ready

From routine yard clearing to post-storm cleanup, we respond quickly to help restore your property.

Clean Results

We don’t just remove debris — we leave your outdoor space clean, cleared, and ready for landscaping or construction.

What We Remove

Our landscape removal services include:

  • Bushes, hedges, and shrubs
  • Remove ivy and ground coverings
  • Small tree removal (10–15 ft)
  • Fallen trees and limbs
  • Yard waste and debris
  • Storm damage cleanup
  • Overgrown or unwanted vegetation

If it’s cluttering your yard or outdoor space, we can remove it.

Hardscape Demolition:

Our equipment easily lifts 1,000lb boulders and large chunks of concrete or paver patios.

Outdoor Structures:

We have years of experience removing old decks, fences, gazebos, and walkways. You deserve to reclaim every square inch of your property. Our specialized mini-skid steers are powerful enough for heavy demolition but small enough to navigate alleys and backyard gates without the extensive lawn damage caused by full-sized machinery.

Common Questions About Land Clearing

Can you get equipment into a fenced or tight backyard?
Yes. Our mini skid steer fits through backyard gates and narrow side yards that full-size machines can’t reach, and it does much less damage to your lawn.
What size trees can you remove?
We remove small trees up to about 10 to 15 feet, plus bushes, hedges, ivy, fallen trees and limbs. For larger lots and heavy brush, we also offer forestry mulching and brush cutting.
Do you do storm cleanup?
Yes. We clear fallen trees, limbs and storm debris and haul everything off, and we respond quickly after a storm.

“Brian had his work cut out for him with our yard! We had removed 30+ pine trees from around the house and Brian dug out the roots, smoothed it all out and added tons of top soil. Now we’re ready for grass, thanks to Southern Hauling and Clearing!”
