Can you keep some of the trees?

Yes. Selective clearing is common. We take out what is in the way and leave the trees you want to frame the property or shade the house. Tell us which ones to keep and we work around them.

What do you do with the stumps?

We dig stumps and root balls out whole with our excavation equipment and attachments, so the ground is left clean and buildable. We will talk through the best approach for your lot during the estimate.

Where does the brush and debris go?

That depends on your property and what you want done with it. We talk through the options for the logs, brush and debris before we start, so nothing is left that you did not plan for.

Will the lot be graded after clearing?

We do an initial rough grade so the cleared ground is usable and not torn up. If you need finish grading for a build, that is a separate step we can handle as part of site preparation.

Raw land has to become a build site, a pasture or just a usable piece of ground, and that is the call we get. If your lot is wooded, overgrown or covered in stumps from an old clearing, the trees, brush and stumps have to come out before you can see what you are actually building on. We take the trees down and dig the stumps with our excavation equipment, chainsaws and attachments, then push the brush and move the logs and debris. We clear to your goals. Some owners want everything gone down to bare dirt; others want to keep the good trees and open up a building footprint or a view. We talk through it first so the right stuff stays and the rest gets handled.

Residential, Commercial & Agricultural Lot Clearing

Residential

Most residential lot clearing is opening up a building footprint, a driveway path and a yard while keeping the trees that make the property worth living on. We mark what stays before we start.

Commercial

Commercial lot clearing usually means a full clearing for a pad, a parking area or a building site, with stumps and roots out and the ground left ready for the next step.

Agricultural

On farm ground, lot clearing opens space for barns, equipment sheds and lanes, or takes back ground that has grown up in brush and saplings over the years.
