How much does it cost to clear a driveway through woods?

Clearing a new driveway through wooded property typically costs $5 to $15 per linear foot, depending on the width needed and density of vegetation. A standard 12-foot wide, 200-foot long driveway through moderate timber would cost approximately $1,500 to $3,000 for clearing alone. Grading and gravel are additional.

Can you add gravel to a cleared driveway?

Yes, we offer complete driveway construction including clearing, grading, and gravel installation. We typically recommend a 6-inch base of crushed limestone for a durable all-weather surface. We can also install culverts for drainage crossings.

How wide should an access road be?

For a standard residential driveway, we recommend 12-14 feet wide. For properties needing equipment access, 16-20 feet is better. ATV trails can be as narrow as 6-8 feet. We'll help you determine the right width based on your intended use.

Can you clear an overgrown existing driveway?

Yes, restoring overgrown driveways is one of our most common requests. We clear all vegetation that has encroached on the driveway, remove overhanging branches, and can regrade and add gravel to restore the surface.

About Our Driveway & Access Road Clearing Service in Lewisburg

Our ASV RT-120 compact track loaders with Denis Cimaf mulching heads are the fastest way to clear an overgrown driveway or cut a new access road through timber. The machine clears a 6–8 foot wide path in a single pass, mulching trees, brush, and stumps flush to the ground and leaving a stable mulch surface that resists erosion and mud — often usable as a temporary driving surface immediately after clearing. In rural DeSoto County, Marshall County, and Tate County, overgrown driveways are one of the most common calls we receive. Mississippi's aggressive growing season means a gravel driveway that's not maintained can become impassable in 2–3 years as sweetgum saplings, privet, kudzu, and wild blackberry close in from both sides. New property owners who've purchased acreage off Highway 78, Highway 72, or the rural roads south of Holly Springs often need access roads built to reach building sites, hunting camps, or back timber. For permanent driveways, we provide the full scope — clearing and mulching the corridor, grading the roadbed with proper crown and drainage ditches using our dozers and excavators, installing culvert pipes at road ditches, and laying crushed limestone or gravel base. From a simple overgrown driveway cleanup to a full new access road through heavy timber, we handle the entire job so you can access your property safely and reliably year-round.
