Our Lot Clearing Services Include
Tree Clearing & Takedo
We remove unwanted trees safely and efficiently — including large, dangerous, or clustered trees. Whether you're clearing a build site or thinning out a wooded area, our equipment and team can handle the job.
Brush Removal & Overgrowth Cleanup
Thick underbrush, invasive shrubs, poison ivy, and tangled weeds can choke your property. We clear it all, including ground vegetation and surface debris, leaving the space ready for whatever comes next.
Stump Grinding & Root Clearing
Old stumps and surface roots can block construction, landscaping, or utility installation. We grind and remove stumps to below-grade level and offer full cleanup after every job.
Grading Coordination & Surface Prep
While we don’t perform grading ourselves, we work closely with site contractors to ensure your property is fully cleared and prepped for the next phase of development.
Firewood & Debris Haul-Away
All wood and debris can be removed from site, chipped for mulch, or stacked for firewood — your choice. We handle full cleanup and hauling, so you’re not left with the mess.
Equipped for Any Terrain
From sloped lots and tight backyards to wide open fields, we bring the right tools for the job. Our fleet includes:
- Bucket trucks

How much does land clearing cost?
Pricing varies depending on lot size, density, terrain, and tree size. We offer free on-site estimates and will break down exactly what’s included.
Can you work on tight or fenced-in properties?
Yes — we specialize in residential and small-scale lots that require careful access. We’ll evaluate entry points and use appropriate equipment.
Do you remove all debris and stumps?
Yes. Unless otherwise requested, all clearing jobs include debris haul-away and optional stump grinding.
Is this service just for builders?
