Forestry mulching
Grind brush and small woody growth into a chip layer that stays on the ground, useful when you want vegetation reduced without a full haul-away.

Hixson and in-town lots
City lots, utility drops, and a 1,000-square-foot trigger
Hixson, Red Bank, East Ridge, and East Brainerd lots are tighter than a rural tract. Inside Chattanooga’s land-disturbing rules, disturbing about 1,000 square feet — a patch roughly 25 by 40 feet — can require a permit. Historic pockets such as St. Elmo add another review before trees come out.
EPB keeps clearance on its primary lines. The homeowner is responsible for growth around the service drop, and EPB will temporarily lower that drop when you call (423) 648-1372 before we work under it. We submit an 811 locate before stump grinding or grubbing. Details are in the permit guide.

Site considerations
Working around power, fiber, and neighbors
A backyard mulch or a small pad still has to respect the city’s threshold and any HOA. We would rather pause for a permit than push brush into a fines situation.
Shallow EPB fiber and water lines are why grubbing waits on 811. Mulching that stays above grade is a different conversation from root removal.

FAQs
Hixson questions
Straightforward answers about land clearing and how to reach us from our Serving Chattanooga.
FAQ - 01
Do city permit rules apply in Hixson?
Much of Hixson follows Hamilton County rules, while lots inside Chattanooga city limits follow the 1,000-square-foot land-disturbing trigger. We ask which jurisdiction the address is in before we schedule.
FAQ - 02
Will you call 811?
Yes, before we grind stumps or grub roots. Locates protect fiber and water that sit shallow in these neighborhoods.
FAQ - 03
Can EPB move the service line?
EPB will temporarily lower a residential service drop at no charge when you request it. Call them at (423) 648-1372 before we work under the line.
