Land clearing in Gastonia usually starts with ground that got away from you. Pine and sweetgum crowd the back line, and privet fills in the old pasture. A few acres can turn into a wall of brush in two growing seasons. After that a mower will not go through, and you can't see your own property line.
Most of this work calls for forestry mulching, brush clearing, stump grinding and grading once the trees are down. Red clay holds a grade well after the roots come out. We run out of Shelby, about 22 miles west of Gastonia on US 74. The drive takes around half an hour, so we can get to you and back the same day.

Gastonia sits on Piedmont uplands at about 740 feet. The dirt is red clay, mostly the Cecil and Gaston soil series across the ridges and side slopes. It is deep and well drained, and it packs hard once the roots come out. The woods run to loblolly and shortleaf pine, sweetgum, red oak and hickory.
The city passed 85,000 people in 2024, and Gaston County went over 240,000. Most of that growth landed in southeast Gastonia and just past the south city limits. Lots along Union Road and New Hope Road are going from woods and pasture to houses. Gaston County was down to 412 farms on 36,859 acres in 2022, fewer than five years before.
Yes, and the machine changes with the job. In older parts of town like York-Chester and Gardner Park, lots are narrow and fences sit close. Skid steers with a root grapple fit that space, and we haul the debris off instead of burning it. Out toward Crowders Mountain we bring the tracked mulcher and the dozer with a root rake. Tree removal and stump grinding around Gastonia run the same way, sized to the lot.

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!
