Lot Clearing & Land Prep

Clear the Way for Your Next Project

Need to make room for something new? Whether you're preparing for construction, landscaping, or simply reclaiming an overgrown property, Fitzgerald Tree Service offers safe, efficient, and fully insured lot clearing and land preparation services throughout Fairhaven and Southeastern Massachusetts.



We remove trees, brush, stumps, and debris to give homeowners, builders, and property managers a clean slate. Backed by over 30 years of experience, our crew has the equipment and know-how to tackle projects of all sizes — from tight residential lots to multi-acre commercial sites.

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
  • Bobcats
  • Stump grinders
  • Chainsaws and clearing attachments
  • Rigging and safety gear for wooded environments

We also take care to protect structures, driveways, and neighboring properties during every clearing job.
