A life-long resident of Leon County, Greg Helms served in the U.S. Army spent 30 years with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. The job teaches you a few things that translate well to clearing land: show up when you say you will, do what you said you’d do, and treat people’s property like it matters. That mindset is what More Than Brush and Dirt was built on.
Greg Helms is the one who answers the phone, walks your property, runs the equipment, and shakes your hand at the final walkthrough. No call center, no national franchise pitching cookie-cutter packages, no subcontracted crew you’ve never met before they park on your driveway. You’re hiring a Tallahassee local who’s spent the last 25+ years getting to know this community top to bottom.
More Than Brush and Dirt is a Tallahassee-based land clearing company built around one simple idea: local doesn’t have to mean limited. We run the equipment, crew, and insurance to handle anything from a half-acre Midtown lot to a forty-acre rural tract, and we do it without farming the work out to subcontractors who don’t share our standards.
The law enforcement background still shows up in how we run the business. We quote what we mean. We start when we said we would. We finish before we ask for the rest of the payment. If something on the job changes, you hear about it the same day. That’s the bar, and we don’t drop it for any job.
We live and work in the Big Bend. Our reputation walks home with us, so we treat your property like it sits next to ours.
Quote what we mean. Start when we said. Finish before we collect the balance. That’s the bar, and it doesn’t move.
Forestry mulching equipment that clears without burn piles, dump fees, or a torn-up yard left behind for the homeowner.

Yes. We carry current general liability and workers' compensation coverage and provide a certificate of insurance on request before any work begins. Ask for it. Any contractor who won't show you one shouldn't be on your property.
The company has been running full-time since 2020, though the owner has been clearing land for family and his own property for years before that. We've handled jobs from quarter-acre infill lots in Midtown to forty-acre tracts in Madison County.
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend: Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, Jefferson, Liberty, and Madison counties. Jobs farther out get quoted with travel factored in, so you see the number up front.
