Land Clearing & Grading in Alexandria, AL
Rural acreage, new home site prep and long gravel driveways in northern Calhoun County.
Land Work in Alexandria, Alabama
Alexandria is a rapidly growing unincorporated community near the geographic center of Calhoun County, located about 15 minutes north of our Anniston shop. The 2020 census recorded 4,032 residents across a footprint that is 94.2% rural, with US Highway 431 running directly through the community as its main commercial artery. The old Alexandria post office, lovingly restored by the Alexandria Historical Preservation Society, still stands as a landmark of this community's deep rural roots.
Just three miles north of the community center lies the site of the 1813 Battle of Tallushatchee, a reminder that this land has been shaped and reshaped for over two centuries. Today, the reshaping is residential: families are buying rural acreage along the back roads off Highway 431 to build custom homes, hobby farms, and large detached workshops. That growth means raw wooded tracts need to be cleared of mature pine and hardwood, stumps removed, building pads graded, and long gravel driveways cut through fields to reach new home sites.

Opening Rural Alexandria Tracts for New Construction
Alexandria's rural character means most new construction starts with raw, wooded land. Before a builder can pour footings or set a manufactured home, the lot has to be opened up: trees felled, brush cleared, stumps ground or pulled, and the building pad rough-graded to shed water. Big C handles the entire sequence in one coordinated job, so your builder arrives to a clean, level, build-ready site.
Long gravel driveways are a hallmark of Alexandria acreage. A 200-foot driveway through a pasture is common here, and getting the crown, ditching, and base gravel right the first time is the difference between a drive that lasts a decade and one that turns to soup every February. We shape the roadbed, cut turnouts, and arrange delivery of the right tonnage of crushed stone.
For larger Alexandria tracts, remember that disturbing one acre or more generally requires coverage under ADEM's construction stormwater general permit, and Alabama 811 must be notified before any trenching or excavation (full details in our Before You Dig: Alabama Guide). We walk you through what applies to your specific parcel when we quote it.
