Land Clearing & Grading in Ohatchee, AL
Lake-lot clearing, creek-side drainage and access drives near Neely Henry Lake.
Land Work in Ohatchee, Alabama
Ohatchee is a small Calhoun County town of 1,157 residents (2020 census) about 25 minutes west of our Anniston base. The town center sits just north of where Tallaseehatchee Creek meets Ohatchee Creek, and the town limits reach all the way south to Neely Henry Lake on the Coosa River. That combination of creeks, lake, and rural land makes Ohatchee a distinctive place to work: lake-lot clearing, access drives down to the water, and drainage around creek-side property are the jobs we do here most.
Ohatchee also carries deep history. Janney Furnace, built in 1863–64, is now part of the county park system and stands as a reminder of the area's iron-ore past. In March 2021, an EF3 tornado struck the Ohatchee area. We mention it only to say that storm debris cleanup is work we take seriously here, and we handle it with respect for the people and properties affected. When the weather clears, Big C is ready to help Ohatchee owners clean up, clear land, and rebuild access.

Clearing & Access on Ohatchee Waterfront
A lot on Neely Henry Lake or along one of Ohatchee's creeks is a different kind of project. The ground is often low, wet, and thick with vegetation, and access to the water can be blocked by years of overgrowth. Big C clears lake lots for camps, homes, and recreation, opening up the view and the shoreline while leaving the mature canopy you want to keep.
Getting to the water is often the second challenge. A long access drive down to a lake lot or camp needs a shaped roadbed, a crown, and drainage so it doesn't turn into a trench after one rain. We cut and grade those drives and arrange gravel delivery to keep them passable year-round. Around the creeks, we also help property owners manage drainage so water moves the right way across low ground.
As with any Alabama digging project, Alabama 811 must be notified before trenching or excavation so buried lines are marked, and larger disturbances may need ADEM stormwater permit coverage (see our Before You Dig: Alabama Guide). Ohatchee is about 25 minutes from our base — well within our regular working range.
