Questions people ask before clearing a property

What is included in land clearing?

Forestry mulching for brush and small trees, removal of larger trees and obstacles, basic site preparation to leave the ground level and stable, and controlled burning of cleared material where it is appropriate and permitted.

Do you haul the debris away?

Often there is very little to haul. Mulching grinds brush and small trees into mulch that stays on the property as organic matter, and controlled burning handles much of what is left. That keeps disposal costs and truck traffic down.

Can you reclaim land that has been overgrown for years?

Yes. Heavily overgrown property is a common starting point, whether the goal is a new build, better access, or simply making the land usable again.

What affects the cost of clearing a lot?

Acreage and topography, how dense the growth is, the size of the trees, and whether stumps need to come out. Clearing large trees and grinding stumps costs more than mulching brush. Combining clearing with grading and site prep in one mobilization usually brings the overall project cost down.
