Caleb's Landscaping & Excavating turns overgrown lots, muddy yards, and bare dirt into land that actually works for you.
Caleb's Landscaping & Excavating has spent years working the red clay, rolling pasture, and wooded lots that make up North Alabama. We started as a small land clearing company with a single dozer and grew into a full-service excavation company because our neighbors kept asking for more: grading, drainage, patios, and finished landscapes to match the dirt work we'd already done for them.
Today we operate as a land clearing company, an excavation company, and a landscaping company under one roof, which means one crew can clear your land, shape your grade, and build the outdoor space you actually wanted in the first place. No juggling separate contractors, no gaps between phases, no guessing who's responsible for what.
We work from Union Grove out to Huntsville, Decatur, Madison, Athens, Guntersville, Arab, and Hartselle, plus the smaller towns tucked between them. Wherever you're located in the Tennessee Valley, there's a good chance we've already worked a job down the road.
Whether you're prepping a new build site, reclaiming an overgrown property, or finally building the patio you've been planning for years, our land clearing services and excavation services cover the full project from raw ground to finished yard.
Every service below is handled in-house, which keeps quality consistent and your timeline in our control, not a subcontractor's.
As a full-service excavation contractor, we handle foundation digs, utility trenching, pond work, and general excavation services for homeowners and builders across North Alabama.
Our land clearing services take rough acreage, fence lines, and building pads from choked with brush to ready to build, plant, or graze.
We handle landscape design and landscape installation together, from plant installation and tree planting to shrub installation and full landscape renovations.
Patio installation, walkway installation, retaining wall installation, and fire pit installation turn a flat yard into an outdoor living space you'll actually use.
As a site prep contractor and site preparation company, we grade, compact, and clear building pads so your project starts on solid, level ground.
Our forestry mulching services clear brush and small trees in place, leaving mulch behind instead of piles to haul off your property.
North Alabama has its share of excavation companies and landscaping companies, but most homeowners tell us the same three things kept them coming back to Caleb's.
We're not a call center dispatching subcontractors. We're a local crew, on local equipment, working local land.
Caleb's is based right here in Union Grove, not routed through a call center three states away. When you call, you're talking to someone who knows the roads, the soil, and the local permitting offices.
We run our own excavators, dozers, mulching heads, and grading equipment, so we're never stuck waiting on a rental yard or forcing a smaller machine to do a bigger job.
We show up when we say we will and we stay until the job's finished. That reliability is why so many of our jobs come from repeat customers and referrals rather than ads.
Every project, from a small drainage fix to a multi-acre clearing job, follows the same straightforward path from first call to final walkthrough.
Call or fill out our online form with a description of your property and what you want done. Photos help, but they're not required.
We schedule a visit to see the land in person, talk through options, and answer questions before anything is priced out.
We put together a detailed quote covering scope, timeline, and cost, so there are no surprise add-ons once work starts.
Once you approve the quote, we schedule the crew, complete the project, and do a final walkthrough to make sure everything matches what was promised.
Caleb's Landscaping & Excavating is based in Union Grove and works throughout the surrounding Tennessee Valley communities. If your town isn't listed below, call us anyway. There's a good chance it's still within reach.
UPDATE: We Recently Upgraded Our Pond Overflow from the Two 24" x 60' Double Wall HDPE Tubes Caleb originally installed, to a CEMENT 12' x 60' Spillway, to better handle the Notorious Flooding Downpours that come our way. We couldn't be happier with the results. As always Caleb & crew did a beautiful job!!! The earthen dam for our pond was blown out a few years ago, and we are so glad we stayed with our decision to hire locally. Caleb listens, and is professional, personable, knowledgeable, flexible, and honest! He has built a business that provides responsive customer service. As we walked the pond’s bank with the owner of Caleb’s Landscaping and Excavating, we pointed out a seasonal streambed and a recent additional trouble spot, that needed heightened consideration, due to excessive sediment and trenched scour that floods into the pond along the northern boundary. Caleb came up with a game plan that we liked, but one which also allowed for the unexpected. He and his crew took on the challenge; working long, hard days even as the sun sets, but always with customer satisfaction in mind! If you want a responsive company to do Dirt Work or a variety of landscape related projects, hire this guy, you will not be disappointed.
We were truly blessed to come across the services of Caleb and his awesome crew. I just happened to locate him in an internet search and was pleased that I was in his coverage area. He scheduled a date to come out fairly quickly and look over our project and provided an estimate within a week. I hired him to clear approximately an acre of woods and to prep a building site and pour concrete for a steel building that a company in Mississippi was coming to put up. I can't think of a time that I've been more pleased with any work I've had done. Caleb provided outstanding communication throughout the process and his employees were very friendly, personable, and talented. The foundation and the concrete slab were to exact specifications and the building went up without a hitch when they came. Even more impressive was the forest mulching job they did in the woods. It was hard to locate any stumps at all left when they finished and Caleb performed some surgical precision, bringing down some rather large pine trees in among some clusters of hardwood trees we wanted to keep. If you are in need of some concrete work or forest mulching, I do not hesitate to recommend Caleb's Landscaping and Excavating, LLC. Many thanks to him and his crew.
I used Caleb's Landscaping to clear some land for a fence install, brush/tree removal, move my driveway, create a gravel patio, and redirect water away from my house. I worked a good amount with Caleb directly and one of his employees named Major. Both were professional and friendly to deal with. Caleb was good to follow up with any questions I had concerning the project. Since this was a two part project, they were both willing to meet with my fence guy to work together regarding what I needed/wanted. I would definitely recommend them. I love the results and the patio turned out better than I could have imagined. (Thanks Major and Roger!)
I had Caleb do some mowing and mulching of the undergrowth on a portion of some wooded property. It was so choked with briars and privett and small trees that you couldn't even walk through it without getting stuck or poked by millions of thorns. He did an excellent job of opening up a large portion of the forest in a days work. In fact he was able to do much more in a day than he origianlly quoted which was a nice surprise. The property looks a hundred times better than it did and now we can walk through our property and enjoy the forest. Thanks Caleb!
Caleb and team cut and mulched a walking trail through our property and cleared out some brush and undergrowth along the creeks. It was not an easy task. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
Does good work, fair prices, and works long hours to get the job done! Highly recommended👍🏼
Caleb’s landscaping and excavation Llc does wonderful work give him a call for anything you need done I recommend him
I putchased an 11 acre semi wooded property. I needed a road, a shop pad, a house oad, and an AL DOT compliant entrence way. After having difficulties with my first excavation company i hired Caleb and his filks to do the job. Unfortunately, none of the original work could he used, but Caleb and his team did an amazing job of fixing what had been done incorrectly and creating my wife and my dream propety. He worked diligently with my wife and i to ensure the building locations were appropriate for the property and water drainage, leading to a home site that i am very happy with. Work included creating building pads, creating roads, managing acres worth of runoff, and culvert design and installation. I recommend Caleb to anyone needing dirt work of any kind
Had Caleb clear some land. He did an amazing job and went above and beyond. From the beginning he kept his word, showed up when expected, respond promptly, and left the land looking better than expected. Very professional. Would highly recommend!
Caleb does outstanding work. Wants to build a name for his business, his work will certainly do that. Give him a call for your landscaping needs.
Here's what property owners ask most before booking excavating, land clearing, or landscaping work with us.
We serve Union Grove and the surrounding towns including Huntsville, Decatur, Madison, Athens, Guntersville, Arab, and Hartselle, along with several smaller communities in between. Call us at (256) 558-1204 to confirm coverage for your address.
Smaller jobs like brush removal or a French drain can often be scheduled within a couple of weeks. Larger projects like acreage clearing, grading, or hardscaping installations book out further, especially in spring and fall, so it's worth calling early.
Both. Overgrown land clearing, lot clearing, and forestry mulching are some of our most requested services, and we regularly take raw, wooded acreage all the way through to a finished, graded, landscaped property.
Artificial turf installation is one of the options we offer alongside sod, mulch, and plant installation. If low-maintenance turf makes more sense than grass for your property, we can walk you through it during your site visit.
Whether you're clearing acreage, fixing a drainage problem, or finally building that patio, Caleb's Landscaping & Excavating is ready to walk your property and put together a straightforward quote.
