Owner-operated since 2016

Built Around the Ground We Know.

Caleb started Red Hollow with one used track loader after years around utility and grading equipment. The business grew by becoming more capable—not by putting distance between the customer and the person responsible for the work.

Today he still reviews customer photos, walks most larger estimates, plans machine access, operates the forestry equipment, and oversees the final result. That means clear answers up front and no surprises at the end.

  • Walk the property
  • Mark what stays
  • Choose the right method
  • Oversee the finish

How we work

Clear Enough to Make the Property Useful.

The goal is useful ground—not unnecessary destruction. Before work begins, we identify the mature trees, privacy, creek edges, and wildlife cover worth keeping.

“Clear enough to make the property useful. Do not destroy what makes the property good.”

Built for Serious Work.

Red Hollow's fleet is focused on forestry and land management, with support equipment to keep a project moving when access, debris, roots, or drainage need attention.

Why owner-operated matters

No Distance Between You and the Work.

The person who quotes the job is the person who runs the machine and walks the final result with you.

Local Know-How

Years working Central Georgia ground means we understand the terrain, the growth, and how access really works.

Straight Answers

No sales layer, no guesswork. You get a clear read on what should stay, what should go, and why.

About & estimates

Working With Red Hollow.

Who does the work, how estimates go, and what to expect before anything moves.

Start the conversation
Who will actually do the work?

Caleb Mercer owns and operates Red Hollow. He reviews customer photos, walks most larger estimates, plans machine access, and oversees the finished result—so the person you talk to is the person responsible for the work.

How does an estimate work?

Start with where the property is, how much ground needs work, and what you want to do with it when it is finished. Photos and a rough acreage shape the first conversation, and larger jobs usually include a property walk.

Are you insured?

This is a concept profile, so specific coverage details are placeholders. For a real estimate, licensing, insurance, and references should be confirmed before work begins.

Do you travel to my property?

Most projects are within roughly 50 miles of Forsyth. Larger multi-day acreage projects may justify travel farther into Central Georgia.
