Chattanooga, TN land clearing & demolition services
Chattanooga sits where the Tennessee River cuts through the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, framed by Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge. Away from the riverfront and downtown skyline, the fastest-growing pockets of Hamilton County look very different — rolling, wooded acreage along Snow Hill Road in Ooltewah, red-clay hillsides in Apison, and mixed pine-and-hardwood tracts stretching out toward Harrison and Chickamauga Lake.
That terrain shapes the work. Hamilton County’s red clay holds water and compacts fast once it’s exposed, so a lot cleared the wrong way erodes, floods, or fails a perc test before a single foundation is poured. Land in Ooltewah — which has more acreage for sale than anywhere else in the county — is overwhelmingly wooded and unrestricted, which means new owners are almost always clearing raw land before they can build, fence, or farm it.
R&G Land Clearing has been serving Hamilton County property owners since opening in 2025, handling everything from full residential demolition on aging Chattanooga-area homes to forestry mulching on wooded Ooltewah lots. Every job is run personally by owner-operator Ronald Gray, who meets with property owners on-site before work begins to understand exactly what they want the finished property to look like.

What our clients say
Everything was cleared exactly how I wanted, sooner than originally scheduled and at a very reasonable price. I definitely plan to use R&G again
Ronnie and Glenda came down to Illinois to do a land clearing job & demolition job for me also they cleared a couple acres of invasive honey suckle brush. Ronnie was meticulous and conscience about everything. He was a superior equipment operator. I really liked that he made sure I was happy with the job. Also he had to use a chain saw in a lot areas and removed a lot of brush by hand. Would definitely recommend them was very pleased with them.
I called them to clear a spot for my tiny home! They did a great job and have great prices! They also do a good job cleaning up after the job is done. Call them they are amazing company and very down to earth people and great at what they do!
Our services in Chattanooga, TN
R&G Land Clearing brings two core services to homeowners and landowners throughout Chattanooga and Hamilton County: land clearing and demolition — each covering the full scope of work a property might need, from raw wooded acreage to a full structure teardown.
Land clearing in Chattanooga, TN
Whether it’s a wooded lot off Snow Hill Road in Ooltewah, a sloped tract in Apison, or a fence line and pond that need clearing out near Chickamauga Lake, R&G handles the full range of land clearing work Chattanooga-area properties need. Ronald walks every property in person before quoting the job, and on Hamilton County’s red clay ground, forestry mulching is often used instead of a dozer to protect against erosion and keep the site stable. Fence lines, pastures, and pond banks out toward Harrison get the same hands-on attention as a full clearing job.
Services include:
- Wooded lot & acreage clearing
- Forestry mulching
- Fence line & pond mowing
- Debris and brush hauling included
Demolition in Chattanooga, TN
From full residential teardowns on aging homes near downtown Chattanooga to mobile home removal out toward Ooltewah, R&G handles demolition projects of every size, including garages, sheds, and other outbuildings across Hamilton County. Every job includes complete debris removal and site cleanup, and R&G coordinates the demolition permits and utility disconnects that the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County require, so property owners never have to navigate that paperwork themselves.

Local expertise in Chattanooga — we know this area
Hamilton County’s ground isn’t uniform. Red clay dominates most of the county and holds water fast once cleared, but wooded tracts along Chickamauga Lake and the Tennessee River Gorge carry different drainage patterns than the rolling hills around Ooltewah and Apison — and R&G accounts for that terrain difference on every quote before equipment ever shows up.
R&G’s routes run the corridors that define the county’s growth: Snow Hill Road into Ooltewah, Ooltewah-Ringgold Road, Highway 58 toward Harrison, and Hixson Pike on the north side of the river. Jobs regularly take the crew into East Brainerd, Apison, Collegedale, and out past Standifer Gap Park and Booker T. Washington State Park near Chickamauga Lake.
Most Chattanooga-area jobs fall into one of two patterns: clearing raw, wooded acreage in Ooltewah — which has more land for sale than anywhere else in the county — ahead of new home construction, or demolishing aging structures on lots being redeveloped closer to town. Both types of jobs show up weekly
Because so much of the acreage around Ooltewah and Apison sits on slopes with red clay soil, R&G leans on forestry mulching rather than traditional dozer clearing wherever it makes sense — it disturbs less ground, cuts erosion risk, and keeps a property from turning into a red-clay mess after the next storm.
