Hey there, Mountain Folks! 🌿

Land clearing is the first step in preparing for your backyard pool installation.

If you're a homeowner in Asheville, NC or one of our beautiful mountain towns nearby—like Weaverville, Woodfin, Mars Hill, Marshall, Fairview to name a few—chances are you’ve got a property that needs a little TLC after Hurricane Helene. Maybe the storm took down some trees, and the brush is looking a little too messy for your taste. Or maybe the recent rise in wildfires is raising concern for you and your family's safety. The flammable fallen trees, dry vegetation and brush on your property is kindling for wildfires, so you are right to feel concerned. Or maybe you're ready to lighten things up and bring on the backyard fun! If you’re finally ready to break ground on that dream pool, barn, or shed, we got you!

Whatever your goal, spring is prime time for land clearing and brush cleanup in the Asheville, NC area, and Mountain Folk Land Clearing is here to help you get it done right.

Let’s break down what to expect—and why now’s the perfect season to clear the way for something new.

Why Spring Land Clearing Just Makes Sense if You Live in & Around Asheville, NC

Here in Western North Carolina, spring is the sweet spot for clearing out the mess and making room for what’s next. Here’s why:

  • Things haven’t fully leafed out yet, so it's easier (and cheaper) to see what you’re working with and clear things efficiently.

  • Mild weather = ideal working conditions. The ground is soft but not too muddy, the bugs aren’t in full swing yet, and we're not battling the intense heat or humidity.

  • Wildfire mitigation matters. Clearing out deadfall, dry brush, and overgrown areas now can reduce fire risk before summer’s dry season kicks in.

  • Curb appeal counts. Planning to list your home this year? A tidy, well-maintained lot can seriously boost your property’s value and first impressions.

  • Permits & prep work take time. Starting your clearing project now means you're not scrambling come summer if you’re building a pool, putting in a garden, or erecting that long-awaited shed.

So, What Can You Expect from a Spring Land Clearing Project?

Here’s how it typically goes when you call us at Mountain Folk Land Clearing:

1. Walk & Talk

We start with a site visit—yep, we come out personally and walk the land with you, and listen to what you need. Whether you’re thinking maintenance, storm debris cleanup, or prepping for a new structure, we’ll make sure we’re on the same page.

2. Clear the Clutter

We handle all kinds of messes—fallen trees, tangled brush, thick undergrowth, overgrown trails, and more. We bring in the right equipment (yes, we’ve got the big toys) to get the job done safely and cleanly.

3. Tailored Solutions

No two properties are the same, and we get that. Maybe you just want a light brush clearing, or maybe you’re ready to start leveling ground for a new project. We tailor the work to match your goals—and your budget.

4. Responsible Disposal

We don’t just pile everything in a corner and call it a day. We haul debris off responsibly or chip/mulch on-site depending on your preference. We leave your property looking better, not just "cleared."

5. Aftercare Advice

We’ll talk you through what comes next—whether it’s erosion control, grading, gravel work, or ongoing maintenance—so your cleared land stays in top shape.
