Real reviews from Northwest Georgia landowners

Word travels in small towns. Here's what our neighbors say after we leave the property.

★★★★★

"Cleared three acres in two days. We could see the property line for the first time in fifteen years. They left it looking better than the listing photos."

Mark T.
Cartersville, GA · Land Clearing
★★★★★

"Backyard flooded every storm for years. They regraded it, put in a dry creek bed, and the next big rain rolled right past the foundation. Wish we’d called sooner."

Diane K.
Rome, GA · Drainage & Grading
★★★★★

"Three-tier retaining wall on a slope nobody else would touch. Engineered, drained, capped. Looks like architecture, not a yard project. Worth every dollar."

Frequently Asked

Land Clearing & Landscaping Questions, Answered

Quick answers about pricing, scheduling, services and our coverage area in Northwest Georgia and the Southeast.

What areas does Hickory Hill Landscaping & Land Management serve?

Hickory Hill is based in Rome, Georgia and serves Northwest Georgia plus the broader Southeast US, including Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. We regularly work in Rome, Calhoun, Cartersville, Cedartown, Acworth, Kennesaw, Summerville, Dallas, Rockmart, Kingston, Lindale, Coosa, Etowah, Mount Berry, Silver Creek and Armuchee.

How much does land clearing cost in Rome, GA?

Land clearing in Rome, GA typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 per acre depending on tree density, terrain, debris removal needs and access. Forestry mulching, where the underbrush and small trees are ground in place into nutrient-rich mulch, is usually the most cost-effective option. We provide free on-site quotes for every project across Northwest Georgia.

What is forestry mulching and why use it?

Forestry mulching uses a heavy-duty mulcher attachment to grind underbrush, small trees and overgrowth in place, leaving behind a nutrient-rich layer of mulch. It is faster, cleaner and more environmentally friendly than traditional clearing because there are no burn piles, no hauling fees and the mulch protects the soil from erosion. It is ideal for property reclamation, pasture restoration and trail clearing.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Hickory Hill Landscaping & Land Management is fully licensed and insured for land clearing, grading, excavation and hardscaping work across Georgia and the Southeast. Proof of insurance is provided with every quote on request.

Do you build retaining walls in Northwest Georgia?

Yes. We build structural and decorative retaining walls throughout Rome, Cartersville, Calhoun, Cedartown and the surrounding Northwest Georgia counties using engineered block, natural stone and timber. Every wall is engineered for proper drainage and long-term stability on Southern soil.

Can you help with drainage and water issues on my property?

Yes. Drainage and grading are core specialties. We solve standing water, erosion, foundation runoff and pasture flooding problems with French drains, swales, regrading and proper site leveling. Most drainage projects in Northwest Georgia can be scoped during a free site visit.

How quickly can you start a land clearing or grading project?

Most residential land clearing and grading projects in the Rome and Cartersville area can start within 1 to 3 weeks of an accepted quote, weather permitting. Larger commercial site preparation work is scheduled around the project timeline. Call (762) 238-LAND for current scheduling.

Do you do commercial site preparation?

Yes. We handle commercial site preparation across the Southeast, including land clearing for new construction, grading for foundations, parking and access roads, drainage systems, and ongoing maintenance. We work with general contractors, developers and property owners.
