Mattoon Excavation Contractor: Land Clearing, Grading & Site Prep
Land clearing, forestry mulching, grading and excavation for Mattoon, IL and Coles County properties.
Mowry Excavation & Land Management is a Mattoon excavation contractor serving landowners, homeowners, builders and farms across Coles County. For excavation in Mattoon, IL we handle land clearing, forestry mulching, grading, site preparation, trenching, drainage and demolition.
Many properties around Mattoon are more than a city lot: field edges that have filled in with brush, fence rows with volunteer trees, acreage that needs to be opened up, or a rural homesite that needs a driveway and a level pad. Land clearing and forestry mulching are a big part of what we do, and we pair them with grading so the cleared ground is actually usable.
Our office is in Bethany, IL, and we are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call (217) 454-1632 for a free on-site estimate in Mattoon, or send us a message.

Land Clearing and Excavation for Mattoon Landowners
If you have ground that needs to be cleared before it can be used, the plan usually has three steps: remove or mulch the brush and trees, grade the area so water drains, and prepare any building pad or access drive. We can do all three, which keeps the project moving and keeps one crew accountable for the result. If part of the property has an old structure that needs to come down, we can handle that as well.
Our core services are excavation and site preparation, land clearing and forestry mulching and demolition and removal. See the full list on our services page.

Mattoon Excavation FAQs
Do you do land clearing and forestry mulching in Mattoon, IL?
Yes. Land clearing and forestry mulching are core services. We clear overgrown lots, brush and field edges, and we can follow up with grading and site preparation if you plan to build.
What is forestry mulching and why choose it near Mattoon?
Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into mulch right where they stand, so there is no burn pile to manage and the ground is protected. It works well for fence rows, field edges and wooded lots with limited access.
Can you clear a rural lot and prep it for a house or shop?
Yes. We clear the area, excavate and grade the pad, and handle trenching and driveway prep so the site is ready for the builder. We coordinate with other trades so the next crew can start without delays.
Do I need a permit for clearing or grading in Mattoon or Coles County?
Requirements depend on the project and on whether the property is inside the City of Mattoon or elsewhere in Coles County, so check with the city or county before work starts. We can talk through what your project may need during your estimate.
