Our Lot and Land Clearing Process
What to Expect When You Hire Us
We believe in keeping things transparent and simple for our customers. With over six decades of experience, we’ve fine-tuned our land clearing process to ensure excellent results. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Assessment
One of our ISA Certified Arborists will visit your site to assess the scope of the project. We’ll discuss your vision, evaluate the site, and provide you with a clear, upfront quote—no surprises or hidden fees.
Permit Acquisition
After you approve the quote, we’ll start handling the paperwork. Land clearing often requires permits from your local authorities, and we’ll assist with any necessary applications to get the green light before we start.
Project Planning
We’ll work closely with you to develop a plan that meets your goals. This includes prepping the area and ensuring any existing features you want to keep are protected from damage.
Clearing Operation
Our team will bring in skid loaders equipped with powerful mulchers to clear out all unwanted vegetation. We’ll safely remove any trees in the way while making sure to protect those you want to keep.
Final Review
After the clearing is done and the debris is removed, we’ll invite you to inspect the site. If anything else needs attention, just let us know—we’re here to make sure the job is done to your satisfaction.
Leave Lot Clearing to the Professionals
Lot clearing isn’t a DIY job—it’s tough, dangerous work that requires the right expertise and equipment. Here’s why it’s best to leave it to the pros:
Efficient Project Completion
Professionals can get the job done faster. With their expertise and access to the right equipment, the work is streamlined, saving you time and headaches.
Proper Waste Removal
Clearing land creates a lot of debris—branches, stumps, and other material. A professional company will handle the clean-up, hauling away debris and leaving your property ready for its next phase.
Permitting and Regulations Made Easy
Every area has different rules for land clearing, and navigating permits can be tricky. A professional tree care company knows the local regulations and will take care of the paperwork for you.
What to Do with Your Land After Lot Clearing
Not sure if you want to do a project that involves lot clearing? Here are some of the most popular developments our customers make after we clear their land:
Outdoor Living Spaces: Dreaming of a patio, fire pit, or outdoor kitchen? Cleared land is perfect for creating outdoor living areas where you can entertain, relax, and enjoy your property.
Swimming Pool Installation: Nothing beats having your own backyard oasis. Installing a swimming pool gives you a great spot to cool off during the summer, and it also boosts your home’s value if you ever decide to sell.
Gardening Space: Looking to create a flourishing garden? A cleared area provides the perfect spot to start a vegetable garden, plant fruit trees, or create a lush, flower-filled space.
