Land Clearing in Nashville: local context

Nashville has limestone bedrock close to the surface in many areas, heavy rain events (including the 2010 flood) and a housing mix weighted toward crawl spaces and slabs.

The Nashville–Davidson–Murfreesboro–Franklin area keeps growing outward, and land clearing here is often lot preparation for new homes, barns and shops, along with fence lines, driveways and overgrown acreage.

Methods range from forestry mulching and brush cutting to dozer clearing and stump grinding. Around Nashville, ask contractors about tree-protection ordinances in many cities, erosion-control rules on disturbed ground and wetland and drainage rules, who handles permits, and what happens to the debris.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Tennessee licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What clearing method will you use, and why?
  • What happens to debris and stumps?
  • Who handles permits, tree ordinances and erosion control?
  • Is the price per acre, per day or fixed?
  • Can I see proof of insurance?
