What We Clear

Land clearing isn't just about removing trees. It involves clearing all vegetation and preparing the site for its next use. Here's what we handle:

Vegetation Removal

  • Trees of all sizes, including mature growth
  • Brush, shrubs, and undergrowth
  • Overgrown vegetation and weeds
  • Invasive plant species
  • Root systems and stumps

Debris and Obstacles

  • Fallen trees and deadfall
  • Rocks and boulders (small to medium)
  • Old fencing and posts
  • Construction debris from old structures
  • Accumulated yard waste

We don't just cut everything down and leave a mess. We remove all debris from the site, grind stumps below ground level, and leave your land ready for the next phase of your project. If you only need specific trees removed, check out our standard tree removal services.

Common Land Clearing Projects

We work on a wide variety of land clearing projects. Here are the most common reasons our customers need land clearing:

New Construction Sites

Clearing land for new home construction, outbuildings, or additions. We prepare the building pad and leave the rest of your property as-is or cleared according to your plans.

Lot Preparation

Clearing overgrown lots that have been neglected for years. Many people buy raw land or let their property go and need it cleared to be usable again.

Fire Break Creation

Creating defensible space around homes and structures. Removing dense vegetation that could fuel wildfires. This is increasingly important in our area.

Access Roads and Driveways

Clearing paths for new driveways, access roads, or utility corridors. We can clear narrow paths or wider areas depending on your needs.

Property Line Clearing

Clearing boundary lines to establish clear property lines, install fencing, or improve access around your property's perimeter.

View Enhancement

Selective clearing to open up views, improve sunlight, or create sightlines. We can clear specific areas while preserving the vegetation you want to keep.

Commercial Development

Preparing sites for commercial buildings, parking lots, or business parks. We work with contractors and follow site plans precisely.

Agricultural Use

Clearing land for pastures, gardens, orchards, or other agricultural purposes. We can clear to your specifications and work around features you want to preserve.

Our Land Clearing Process

Every land clearing project is different, but we follow a systematic approach to ensure quality results:

1

Site Survey and Planning

We visit your property to assess the scope of work. We identify all utilities, property lines, and features to preserve. We discuss your goals and timeline. We'll provide a detailed estimate that outlines exactly what will be done. For construction projects, we can work from your site plans to clear precisely where needed.

2

Utility Marking

Before any clearing begins, we have all underground utilities marked. This includes power, gas, water, sewer, phone, and cable lines. This step is critical for safety and prevents expensive damage to buried infrastructure.

3

Vegetation Removal

We systematically clear trees, brush, and undergrowth according to the plan. We use chainsaws, brush cutters, and other equipment appropriate for the vegetation. Large trees require the same careful removal techniques we use for hazardous tree removal. We work section by section to maintain site safety and organization.

4

Stump Grinding

We grind all stumps below ground level so they won't interfere with construction or future use. This is included in most land clearing projects. Learn more about our stump grinding services.

5

Debris Removal

We haul away all vegetation, stumps, rocks, and other debris. We don't leave piles of brush or wood for you to deal with. Your cleared land will be clean and ready for the next step. If you want to keep some wood for firewood or other uses, we can arrange that.

6

Final Grading (Optional)

We can provide basic grading to level the cleared area if needed. For major earthwork, we'll coordinate with grading contractors. We'll leave your site ready for whatever comes next in your project.
