Before the first shovel of dirt is moved or the first footer is poured, there's one thing every successful construction project needs: proper land clearing. It may not be glamorous, but it's one of the most important phases in setting your site up for success.

At Pennington Construction & Land Solutions, we don’t just clear land — we prepare your property for possibility.

🌲 What Is Land Clearing?:

Land clearing involves removing trees, brush, stumps, debris, and topsoil from your property to make way for new construction. Whether you're building a home, installing a driveway, or creating pasture land, it all starts here.

🛠️ Why It Matters:

Proper land clearing ensures:

A clean, buildable surface
Safe working conditions
Better drainage and erosion control
Compliance with local codes
Fewer project delays down the road

A lot of projects fail before they begin simply because the land wasn’t prepped correctly. That’s why we treat land clearing as a strategic foundation, not just another step.

🧰 Equipment That Gets the Job Done:

We come ready with everything from bush hogs and trackhoes to dump trailers and compactors. Our crew can handle:

Brush and tree removal
Stump grinding and disposal
Rock hauling
Soil leveling and grating
Debris cleanup
