Tell us about your land and we will get right back to you.
Shelby, NC · Veteran-Owned Land clearing is the heart of our work. Around Shelby that means pine, sweetgum and privet taking back old pasture, fence lines you can't walk, and lots that grew up while life happened. We bring our own machines and put the ground back to work. Trees come down, brush gets mulched or hauled, roots come out, and you get a clean surface you can mow, fence, build on or plant.
LDS Solutions is veteran-owned and operated. The fleet is ours, from the tracked forestry mulcher and skid steers with root grapples to excavators, a dozer with a root rake and grapple trucks for haul-off. That is why one call covers the whole job, from standing woods to finished grade.
Straight from the landowners we've cleared, graded and dug for.
Highly recommend Dewey and the team at LDS Solutions! They have done phenomenal work for us at Wallace Haven LLC clearing downed and dying trees, cleaning up overgrown areas, and helping transform our property. They've been dependable, hardworking, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish.
We couldn't be happier with the work this crew did on our property! They handled land clearing, forestry mulching, brush hogging, and even some skid steer and excavator work. The land clearing and mulching made such a huge difference; it looks like a whole new space now. We'll definitely be using them again!
Hurricane Helene took down many of our trees, preventing us from enjoying our space by the creek. These folks came, developed a plan, reviewed it with me, provided a fair price, and restored my access to the woods and creek. They also left the property spotless once the project was completed. CLEAN!
Dewey came to my home in Shelby. He used his forestry mulcher and cleared my back yard and fence line. He also removed all the roots and vines running up on my house. Before, I could not see my fence or shed. I recommend anyone to use him and his services.
I fought a yard slope for our above ground pool for a few years now. Dewey showed up and solved it all within a day and the grading is top notch. 100% recommended!
Dewey forestry mulched for 11 days. They also excavated and dug out two 24 inch culvert pipes to allow us access on land. Amazing job, highly recommended to anyone needing work done! On time every day and under budget!
These guys do great work at a great price! Thank you!
