Short answer
Meeks Land Management is a land clearing and forestry mulching contractor based in Fort Payne, AL across Rainsville, AL, Fyffe, AL and Valley Head, AL. Call (256) 979-9520 to talk through a project.
Meeks Land Management is a father-and-son land clearing company based in Fort Payne, Alabama. Their core work is land clearing, forestry mulching, stump grinding and driveway culvert installation, and they often combine several of these on one job so the owner isn't coordinating separate contractors.
They work across DeKalb County, from Lookout Mountain and Mentone to Sand Mountain, Rainsville and Collinsville, and travel to Scottsboro, Huntsville and Madison for larger projects. Their skid steers run a forestry mulcher, a stump grinder or dirt-work attachments, which suits the steep, rocky ground and fast-growing privet and kudzu common in northeast Alabama.

Questions
Practical answers before you call
Straight from Meeks Land Management's own published answers.
Ask them directlyWhat services does Meeks Land Management offer?
Land clearing, forestry mulching, stump grinding and driveway culvert installation, along with related work such as brush and debris removal, grading and access road clearing.
What areas do they serve?
They are based in Fort Payne and cover DeKalb County, including Rainsville, Fyffe, Valley Head, Mentone, Henagar, Sylvania, Collinsville, Crossville and Hammondville. Their site also lists Etowah, Jackson, Cherokee, Limestone, Madison and Marshall counties, and they travel to Scottsboro, Huntsville and Madison for larger projects.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Quotes are free for all services. They come out, walk the property and give a written quote.
Should I choose forestry mulching or traditional land clearing?
It depends on the project. Mulching suits underbrush, trails, fence lines and hunting land because it leaves the soil in place. Full clearing, with stumps and roots removed, is better for construction sites and major farm preparation. They offer both and will recommend one.
Can I keep some trees while the rest is cleared?
Yes. They regularly clear around trees owners want to keep, such as large shade trees or privacy screens. Point them out during the walk-through.
Do they work on residential and commercial properties?
Yes. They work for homeowners, farmers, builders and businesses, from a single backyard stump to larger site prep.
