Land Clearing & Grading in Piedmont, AL
Mountain driveways, slope grading and wooded-lot clearing near Duggar Mountain.
Land Work in Piedmont, Alabama
Piedmont is surrounded by mountains on the south and east, with Duggar Mountain — Alabama's second-highest point at 2,140 feet — rising just outside the city limits. About 30 minutes northeast of our Anniston base, Piedmont (2020 population 4,787) sits partly in Calhoun County and partly in Cherokee County. That mountain setting is exactly what shapes the work we do here: steep driveways, slope grading, and clearing wooded mountain lots are the jobs Piedmont owners call us about most.
A gravel driveway on a Piedmont hillside is a different animal than one on flat ground. Without a proper crown and side drainage, every heavy rain runs straight down the tire paths and carries the gravel with it, leaving ruts and exposed clay. Big C regrades those steep drives, sets the crown and ditches, and arranges gravel delivery so the surface holds up to mountain weather. We also clear wooded mountain lots for homes and camps, opening up buildable ground on the slopes.

- Regrade and crown steep mountain driveways that repeatedly wash out
- Cut side ditches and turnouts so water sheds off the drive, not down it
- Arrange gravel delivery for durable mountain-road surfaces
- Clear and grade wooded mountain lots for homes and camps
Steep Drives & Wooded Mountain Lots in Piedmont
Duggar Mountain and the surrounding ridges make Piedmont one of the most scenic spots in Calhoun County — and one of the most demanding for groundwork. Steep lots mean water moves fast, soil erodes quickly, and a driveway that isn't crowned and ditched will wash out in a single storm. We bring the compact equipment and the experience to shape those slopes so they drain and hold.
Terrapin Creek, a well-known float and paddling creek, runs through the area — a reminder that the water from every hillside eventually finds its way downhill. Grading on a Piedmont lot isn't just about leveling ground; it's about directing that water safely around your home, driveway, and outbuildings. We cut swales, shape slopes, and set the grade so runoff goes where it should.
Before any trenching or excavation, Alabama 811 must be notified so buried utilities are marked, and larger disturbances may need ADEM stormwater permit coverage (see our Before You Dig: Alabama Guide). We work in both the Calhoun and Cherokee County parts of Piedmont, and at about 30 minutes from our base, it's well within range.
