Land Clearing FAQs
How much does brush clearing cost?
Brush clearing is typically priced per acre or by the hour, depending on the density of vegetation, terrain, and accessibility. Light clearing might run $1,000-$2,000 per acre, while heavy clearing with large trees can be $3,000-$5,000+ per acre. Small residential lots are often quoted as a flat rate.

What do you do with the cleared brush and debris?
We can handle debris several ways: chip it on-site and spread as mulch, haul it away entirely, or pile it for burning (where permitted). Wood from larger trees can be cut into firewood, hauled away, or in some cases milled for lumber. We'll discuss options during your estimate and recommend the most practical approach.
Can you clear land for a new home or building?
Yes, we regularly clear lots for new construction. We can clear entire lots, create building envelopes, establish driveways, and remove selected trees while preserving others. We work with homeowners, builders, and contractors. For construction projects, we can coordinate with your timeline.
Do you handle grading after clearing?
We focus on vegetation removal rather than heavy earth-moving. However, we can do light grading and leveling with our equipment, and we can recommend excavation contractors for more extensive grading work. We can also coordinate with your grading contractor to ensure smooth handoff.
Can you clear around existing trees I want to keep?
Absolutely. We can selectively clear brush and unwanted trees while carefully preserving desirable specimens. We take care to protect the root zones and trunks of trees you want to keep. Just show us which trees to save and we'll work around them.
How long does it take to clear an acre?
It depends on the vegetation density. Light brush might clear in a day, while heavily wooded areas with large trees could take several days per acre. We'll provide a time estimate along with your quote. Weather and ground conditions can also affect the timeline.
