Land Clearing in Lafayette LA

When it comes to land clearing for hunting camps, getting your site prepped and ready is the most important step. Whether you’re planning a duck camp tucked near the bayou or a deer camp deep in the woods, your camp is only as good as the foundation it’s built on. At 1 Young Man and A Tractor, we specialize in clearing, grading, and prepping land across Louisiana to help outdoorsmen bring their vision to life.

Step 1: Land Clearing for Hunting Camps – More Than Just Knocking Down Trees

Clearing land isn’t just about bulldozing brush. It’s about precision. From thick underbrush to stubborn stumps, we remove what’s in the way while protecting the natural beauty of your property. Whether you’ve got dense woods, palmetto thickets, or fallen timber, our crew and equipment are built to handle it all — and we don’t leave a mess behind.

Tip: If your camp is going near water, we make sure the land is graded properly to avoid future drainage issues.

Step 2: Leveling and Grading – Keeping It High and Dry

Once the land is cleared, it needs to be shaped. Camps need to be stable and dry — especially in South Louisiana. We use laser-guided equipment to level and grade your site to exact specs. Whether you’re planning a bunkhouse or just need an RV pad, we’ll make sure water drains away and your foundation stays solid, even in the wet season.

We can bring in clean fill dirt, build up low areas, and compact the ground for a long-lasting result.

Step 3: Foundation Prep for Camps – From Cabins to RV Pads

After grading, we get your site ready for construction. That could mean prepping a concrete slab, trenching for utilities, or compacting a pad for a raised cabin. We’ll make sure it’s built to last, meets any local codes, and gives you a clean slate to build on.

We’ve even tackled soft, marshy ground where other crews wouldn’t touch — if it’s buildable, we’ll find a way.
