Forestry Mulching

Land clearing in Spindale usually starts with ground that got away from you. Pine, sweetgum, privet and briars take back old pasture fast in this part of Rutherford County. Fence lines close up, lots grow thick, and the work only gets bigger each year. We bring our own machines and put the ground back to work.
Forestry mulching fits wooded tracts and heavy brush that you would rather keep as ground cover. Tree removal, stump grinding, grading and debris haul-off finish the job when you want bare dirt. We work out of Shelby, about 22 miles east of you on US 74. The road runs west past Ellenboro and Forest City, so this is a short haul for our equipment.

Spindale sits at about 994 feet, in the foothills west of Shelby. The town is in the thermal belt, and it runs milder than the land right around it. Isothermal Community College on ICC Loop Road took its name from that. Milder winters give brush and saplings a longer season to grow back.
Much of the town is old mill ground, and it shows in the lots. Spencer Mills opened in 1916 and Stonecutter Mills closed in 1999. Lots that have sat idle since then now hold heavy scrub and volunteer trees. Outside town the land rolls toward the Second Broad River, where pasture and timber sit side by side.
Yes. The weather service measured more than 19 inches of rain west of Lake Lure in September 2024. Chimney Rock lost about half the village and the Lake Lure dam went over its top. Downed trees, root balls, leaning trunks and washed-in debris still sit on tracts across the county.
Our grapple trucks and excavators handle storm wood, and the dozer with a root rake pulls what is left. Rutherford County posted guidance on private property debris removal in 2025, so check what that covers. Whatever is left, we can mulch it, grind it, pile it or haul it off. We can also cut a path back in if the drive is blocked.

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!
