Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our land clearing, site prep, and equipment work. As a reliable excavation company, we provide clear information to help you plan your project.

Why should I choose forestry mulching over traditional land clearing?

Forestry mulching grinds unwanted brush and small trees into organic mulch directly on site. It eliminates the cost of hauling away debris while helping control soil erosion.

What is involved in house pad or shed pad construction?

We clear the vegetation, excavate topsoil, and grade the ground with stable soil or gravel. This creates a solid, level pad ready for building work.

How often should drainage ditches be cleaned out?

Ditches should be cleaned whenever overgrown brush, mud, or debris slows down water flow. Regular maintenance prevents standing water and property flooding.

Can you demolish small structures like old sheds or garages?

Yes, we provide light demolition work to knock down unwanted buildings, haul away structural debris, and leave the ground clean and level.

How can I get pricing details for my land project?

We provide detailed cost assessments and customized budget proposals for all land clearing, excavation, mulching, and demolition projects in Stokes, NC, and surrounding areas.

Jordan Clymer

CL Landworks came recommended to us by a local farmer. We purchased 100+ acres of land that is previous timber cutover with volunteer pines coming back. Matthew was able to clear the undergrowth and save the pines and hardwoods that were being choked by several years of vines and green briar. It was a total transformation and now our trees can breathe again. We plan to continue using Matthew as we develop more acreage into our homesite.
