Land Clearing & Grading in Southside, AL
Riverside and wooded-lot clearing, sloped driveways and access drives in the foothills.
Land Work in Southside, Alabama
Southside sits on the south side of the Coosa River, about 35 minutes from our Anniston base, in the foothills of the southern Appalachians. Incorporated in 1957, it had a 2020 population of 9,426 and sits about 8 to 12 miles south of downtown Gadsden. A small part of the city extends into Calhoun County, and we work in both sides.
The river and the foothills set the tone for the work here. Riverside and wooded lots need clearing before a home or outbuilding can go in, and the sloped ground means driveways and access drives have to be properly graded or they wash out. Whether it is opening up a wooded lot, building an access drive down to the water, or grading a sloped driveway so it holds up, Big C handles the groundwork Southside owners call about.

Riverside Clearing & Sloped Drives in Southside
Southside's foothill setting means a lot of wooded, sloped lots. Clearing a wooded lot here is the first step before a home, shop or outbuilding can go in — taking down the trees and brush, pulling stumps and leaving build-ready ground. We keep the mature trees you want and clear the rest, then grade the pad and set the drainage.
On the sloped ground, an access drive down to the water or a driveway on a hill has to be properly graded or it will rut and wash out. We shape the roadbed, set the crown and side drainage, and arrange gravel delivery so the drive stays passable. The same grading approach directs the runoff that would otherwise pool against a foundation or carve gullies across a yard.
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 Etowah and Calhoun County parts of Southside.
