Shelbyville Excavation Contractor: Forestry Mulching, Clearing & Grading
Forestry mulching, land clearing, grading and site preparation for Shelbyville, IL and Shelby County.
Mowry Excavation & Land Management is a Shelbyville excavation contractor serving landowners, homeowners and builders across Shelby County. For excavation in Shelbyville, IL we handle forestry mulching, land clearing, grading, site preparation, trenching, drainage and demolition.
Wooded lots and heavily overgrown parcels are a common starting point for projects here. Forestry mulching lets us open up a lot without a burn pile, and then we can excavate, grade and prepare the building pad, the driveway or the yard in the same visit sequence. That keeps trees, stumps and brush from becoming a separate problem.
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 Shelbyville, or contact us online.

Clearing Wooded Lots and Prepping Sites in Shelbyville
Clearing a wooded lot is more than removing trees. Once the vegetation is down, we look at the lay of the land, where water will run, where the pad should go and how a driveway will reach it. Sloped or low areas can need cut-and-fill work and drainage before anything is built, and we handle that as part of the same job.
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.

Shelbyville Excavation FAQs
Do you do forestry mulching in Shelbyville, IL?
Yes. Forestry mulching is part of our land clearing and forestry service. It grinds brush and small trees in place, which works well for wooded lots, fence lines and areas that are hard to reach.
Can you clear a wooded lot and prepare it for building in Shelbyville?
Yes. We clear the lot, excavate and grade the pad, and handle trenching and driveway prep so the site is ready for the builder. We also coordinate with other trades.
What happens to the brush and trees after clearing?
It depends on the method. With forestry mulching the material is ground into mulch where it stands. For other clearing, we discuss removal or hauling options at your estimate.
Do I need a permit for clearing or grading in Shelbyville or Shelby County?
Requirements depend on the project and on whether the property is inside the City of Shelbyville or elsewhere in Shelby County, so check with the city or county before work starts. We can talk through what your project may need during your estimate.
