Dunnebacke Constructors
Drainage & Erosion Control · Hendersonville, TN
Planning to build in Hendersonville? Need a lot cleared and prepped before your contractor breaks ground? Dunnebacke Constructors provides complete lot clearing services — from initial tree and brush removal all the way through rough grading and erosion protection. We get your lot build-ready, on time and on budget.
A lot that looks clearable on paper can be a completely different story in person — steep grades, heavy tree cover, dense root systems, and clay-heavy Tennessee soil all add complexity. Dunnebacke Constructors has cleared residential and commercial lots across Hendersonville and Sumner County, and we know what it takes to get a lot truly ready for the next phase of your project.
We don't just knock over trees and leave stumps. We clear completely — trees, brush, stumps, roots, old debris — and can follow up with rough grading, drainage planning, and erosion protection so your builder, foundation crew, or fence installer has a proper starting point.
We visit your lot, walk it with you, and quote the full job. We look at access, slope, tree density, and any drainage concerns that should be addressed before or during clearing.
Trees are safely felled and sectioned. Brush, scrub, and invasive species are completely removed — not just cut back. We work systematically so nothing gets missed.
Stumps are ground or pulled, and root masses are cleared from areas where they'd interfere with foundations, grading, or underground utilities. This step is often skipped by less thorough crews — we don't skip it.
A freshly cleared lot is a bare, exposed surface. We rough-grade for drainage and apply straw matting or erosion fabric where needed so the site doesn't wash before construction begins.
After clearing, we can stay on and handle everything: drainage planning, driveway grading, building pad prep, retaining walls, and final lawn restoration. Using one contractor from clearing through finish reduces your total cost and eliminates scheduling headaches between crews.
Austyn Dunnebacke is on site personally. You're not working with a subcontracted crew — you're working with the owner.
Drainage is our specialty. We catch problems during lot clearing before they become expensive issues after your build.
We know what builders and foundation crews need. We clear and prep lots to a standard that keeps your project moving.
We quote the full job upfront. No surprises, no scope creep charges for things we should have caught in the estimate.
A standard residential lot in Hendersonville typically takes one to three days depending on tree density and terrain. Larger or more heavily wooded lots take longer. We'll give you a timeline when we walk the property.
Not necessarily, but it's helpful for the initial walkthrough so we understand your plans for the lot. After that, we can work independently and update you when the job is done.
Yes, but utility locations need to be marked before we start. We recommend calling 811 to have underground utilities located before any clearing or grading begins — it's free and required by law in Tennessee.
Yes — that's one of our most common jobs. We clear, grade the building pad, address drainage, and can have the lot ready for your builder or concrete crew. We work with builders across Hendersonville regularly.
