Three Crosses Land Services is based right here in Soddy-Daisy. Forestry mulching is the work we lead with, and most of it happens on ground we pass every day. A drum mulcher on our mini skid steer grinds standing brush, vines, briars, and saplings in place. What is left is a chip layer lying over the dirt.
Soddy-Daisy property runs from lake lots on the Soddy Creek inlet to wooded ground under the ridge. Back pastures, hillsides, and grown-up side lots all sit inside the city limits. Land clearing at residential scale is how that ground gets opened back up. We take on overgrown lots, back acreage, and tree lines nobody has cut in years.
Our mini skid steer fits through a standard fence gate. That matters on older Dayton Pike lots where the overgrown part sits behind the house. We work out of Soddy-Daisy and cover the whole Chattanooga area. Estimates are free, and a call or a text sets one up.

Soddy-Daisy sits at the base of the Cumberland Escarpment, the east face of Walden Ridge. The city runs about nine miles along US-27 through the old Soddy and Daisy communities. State Route 111 climbs the ridge at the north end and runs over to Dunlap. An arm of Chickamauga Lake reaches inland along the lower end of Soddy Creek.
Water shapes a lot of the work here. Possum Creek, Rock Creek, Big and Little Soddy Creek, and Sale Creek all run down to the Tennessee River. Hamilton County's area plan says those drainages leave large areas prone to flooding. Red clay under the valley floor holds rain instead of letting it soak away.
Warm, wet ground grows brush fast from spring into fall. The Tennessee Invasive Plant Council lists privet, kudzu, Japanese honeysuckle, autumn olive, and mimosa as established threats. All of them turn up on Soddy-Daisy fence lines and back corners. Ground nobody has cut for two summers can close in completely.
Forestry mulching is the first tool we reach for on an overgrown lot here. The mulcher grinds standing growth into chips in one pass, so nothing gets dragged off. On the slopes coming off Walden Ridge, that chip mat holds bare soil in place while grass fills back in. Plenty of lots here start flat at the road and drop into timber out back.
Open fields and back pastures out toward Bakewell call for bush hogging instead. The rotary cutter knocks tall grass and briars down to usable ground. Grown-up fence rows take the same cutter, and privet is usually what filled them in. Where stumps stand in the way, stump grinding drops them below grade so a mower clears them.
Cleanup is part of most jobs. The dump trailer hauls off brush piles, storm limbs, and what a garage or shed cleanout turns up. Wet ground is the other common call, since clay and heavy rain leave water standing where it should not. French drains, drainage pipe, and buried downspout lines carry that water away from the house.
Soddy and Daisy both grew up as coal towns. The Soddy Coal Company opened mines in 1867, and the Daisy Coal Company followed in 1881. Coal ran until the 1930s here, alongside hosiery mills and pottery kilns. The two communities voted to incorporate as one city in April 1969.
The Census Bureau counted 13,070 residents in 2020 and estimates 13,474 for July 2025. Houses keep going up on ground that used to be field or woods. Hamilton County's plan for the north end still calls this a rural area with large vacant parcels. Plenty of those parcels have not been cut since the last owner had them.
We cover the whole city, from the Daisy end up through Soddy to Sale Creek and Bakewell. Estimates are free, and we give them on the property. Three Crosses Land Services is a veteran-owned family business, licensed and insured. Our motto is Faith. Integrity. Service.
