  • Brush, Trees, Stumps & Roots

    We specialize in the removal of all types of vegetation, including everything from small brush to large trees.


    In addition to simply removing the vegetation, we also take care to remove any roots or stumps that may be left behind.


    This ensures that your property is clear and ready for whatever you have planned next.

  • Selective Land Clearing

    Our land clearing services include selective land clearing, which is the process of removing specific trees, shrubs, or other growth from an area while leaving the rest intact.


    This kind of land clearing is often used to create hiking trails, clear paths for utilities or other infrastructure, or to improve the aesthetics of a property.


    In addition to being more environmentally friendly than clear-cutting, selective land clearing can also be more cost-effective, since it doesn't require removal of all vegetation from the site.

  • Habitat Enhancement

    We work with local experts to identify areas that would benefit from additional plantings or other changes.


    This helps to ensure that the animals have the food and shelter they need to thrive.


    In addition, by enhancing existing habitat, we can help to offset the impact of new development.


    As a result, our land clearing services not only help to meet the needs of our growing population, but they also help to protect our natural resources.

  • Forestry Mulching

    Forestry mulching is a process of using a specialized machine to clear land by grinding up trees and brush.


    This method is highly effective and efficient, and it leaves the land looking neat and tidy. In addition, forestry mulching can help to improve the health of the ecosystem by recycling nutrients back into the soil.


    And because there is no need to remove the tree stumps, this method of land clearing is much less disruptive to the environment.

  • Overgrown Structures

    In addition to trees, we also specialize in removing overgrown structures, such as sheds, decks, and patios.


    We can also demolish and remove any old buildings or other structures that are no longer needed.


    We have the equipment and experience necessary to safely and effectively remove all types of structures, including those that are built on difficult or sloped terrain.

    We also offer grading and leveling services to ensure that your trail is safe and enjoyable to use.

  • Shooting Lanes

    We often perform this service for landowners who want to create a safe space for hunting or shooting. Clearing shooting lanes is an important part of this process.


    By removing obstacles from the line of fire, we can help to ensure that hunters and shooters can safely enjoy their sport. In addition, clearing shooting lanes can also help to improve visibility and increase the chances of making a successful shot.


    Whether you're looking to improve your hunting property or create a safe space for target practice, our land clearing services can help you achieve your goals.

  • Lot Thinning

    Lot thinning is one of the services we offer. This involves removing some of the trees and brush on your land to create more space.


    This can be beneficial if you want to build on your land or if you want to improve the look of your property.


    Lot thinning can also help to improve the health of your remaining trees by increasing air circulation and light exposure.

  • Brush Hogging

    Our land clearing services include brush hogging, also known as bush hogging. This is a process of cutting and mulching vegetation with a heavy duty rotary mower.


    We use state-of-the-art equipment to provide this service, which includes a pto-driven rotary cutter that can mulch up to 6 inches in diameter. We also have a skid steer mounted rotary cutter that is ideal for small jobs.

FAQ's About Land Clearing

  • How much does land clearing cost?

    The cost of land clearing services can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size and location of the property, the type of vegetation that needs to be removed, and the equipment required to complete the job.


    In general, clearing a small piece of land by hand will be less expensive than clearing a large area with heavy machinery. Additionally, properties located in remote areas or with difficult terrain may require more time and labor, resulting in a higher price tag.


    When requesting quotes from land clearing companies, be sure to give them all the relevant information so that they can provide an accurate estimate.

  • What is land clearing?

    Land clearing is the process of removing vegetation and other obstacles from a piece of land. The purpose of land clearing can be to open up an area for development, such as building a new road or construction.


    It can also be done for agricultural purposes, such as creating new fields for crops or grazing cattle. Land clearing can be done manually with tools like axes and machetes, or it can be done with heavy machinery like bulldozers and excavators.


    Regardless of the method, land clearing often has a significant impact on the environment. It can lead to soil erosion, increased runoff, and habitat loss.


    In some cases, it can also contribute to climate change. For these reasons, it is important to consider the potential impacts of land clearing before undertaking any projects.

  • What are the benefits of land clearing?

    Land clearing is the process of removing vegetation, debris, and other obstacles from a piece of land. There are a number of benefits associated with land clearing, including making it easier to develop the land, increasing its value, and improving its aesthetic appeal.


    Additionally, land clearing can help to reduce the spread of wildfires and improve soil quality. In some cases, it may also be necessary to clear land in order to create a defensible space around structures that are located in areas at risk of wildfires.


    While there are many benefits to land clearing, it is important to consider the potential impacts on the environment before proceeding with any project.

  • How can land clearing help improve the appearance of your property?

    One way to improve the appearance of your property is to clear any land that is overgrown or cluttered. By removing brush, tall grass, and other debris, you can create a neater and more open space.


    This can be especially helpful if you are planning to sell your property, as potential buyers will be able to better visualize the home and yard. In addition, clearing land can also help to reduce the risk of wildfires. By removing dried leaves and branches, you can create a barrier that can help to prevent flames from spreading.


    As a result, land clearing can provide both esthetic and practical benefits.

  • Is there anything that you need to do in order to prepare for land clearing?

    Before starting any land clearing project, it is important to take some time to assess the area and develop a plan.


    First, determine what type of vegetation is present, as this will dictate the best method of removal. For example, trees will need to be cut down and roots pulled up, while small bushes can simply be dug up.


    It is also important to consider the size of the area to be cleared, as large projects will require more time and resources. Once the scope of the project is determined, it is important to secure the necessary permits from your local municipality.

  • Are there any risks involved with land clearing?

    One of the biggest risks associated with land clearing is soil erosion. When vegetation is removed from an area, the ground becomes more exposed to the elements. This can lead to increased runoff during rainstorms, which can cause soil to wash away.


    In addition, wind can also pick up loose soil and carry it away. Soil erosion can lead to a loss of fertility and productivity, as well as increased flooding and landslides. Another risk of land clearing is habitat destruction.


    When natural vegetation is removed, local wildlife loses its source of food and shelter. This can lead to a decline in populations of plants and animals, as well as an increase in the spread of invasive species.


    In addition, land clearing can also contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.While there are some risks associated with land clearing, it is important to remember that these risks can be mitigated with proper planning and management.


    By taking steps to reduce soil erosion and habitat destruction, you can help to minimize the negative impacts of land clearing.
