Lot Clearing for Building
Getting your lot build-ready in Southside Virginia. We clear timber, remove stumps, and leave a clean site for your home or structure so the next crew can get right to work.
- Full lot clearing and grubbing
- Stump and root ball removal
- Selective clearing around existing features
- Site cleanup and debris removal
- Coordinates with septic site eval
Forestry Mulching
Forestry mulching grinds trees, brush, and undergrowth in place, leaving nutrient-rich mulch on the ground. No haul-away required, minimal ground disturbance, and faster than traditional clearing on the right sites.
- Trees, brush, and undergrowth mulched on-site
- Minimal soil disturbance
- No burn piles or haul-away needed
- Good for slopes and sensitive areas
- Faster turnaround on dense brush
Stump Grinding & Removal
Leftover stumps from old clearing or storm damage removed cleanly. Whether it's a single problem stump or a field full of them, we grind and remove so your land is usable.
- Stump grinding to below grade
- Root ball excavation for build sites
- Single stumps or whole fields
- Chip and debris cleanup
- Ready for grading or planting after
Brush Removal & Haul-Away
When you need the debris gone, not mulched. We clear, pile, and haul away brush, slash, and tree material leaving you with a clean, open site. Ideal for properties where mulching isn't the right fit.
- Cut and pile brush and slash
- Haul-away and off-site disposal
- Burn-pile setup where permitted
- Right-of-way and fence line clearing
- Post-storm cleanup available
Site Prep & Grading
Land clearing is just the start. Once we've cleared the trees and stumps, we can stay on-site to rough-grade, build your driveway, install culverts, or begin the septic site evaluation. One contractor start to finish.
- Rough grading after clearing
- Building pad preparation
- Driveway and road access work
- Culvert installation
- Septic site evaluation coordination

Why The Septic Sheriff
Owner-Operated.
No Subcontractors.
Blake Jones started The Septic Sheriff after seeing too many rural landowners in Southside Virginia get strung along by contractors who never showed up or didn't finish the job. His first big land clearing job was a 5-acre horse pasture in Dinwiddie for a former co-worker who had been let down by contractor after contractor. Blake showed up, cleared every acre, and did it right.
That's still the way it works. Blake is on every job. Not a crew supervisor checking in, not a franchisee. The same guy who answers the phone is the one operating the equipment on your property.
"I saw a hole in an industry that needed to be filled and jumped on the opportunity. A decade later, our customers call us reliable, responsive, and fair."📞 Call Blake Direct →
