Land Clearing & Excavation

A Clean Site, Ready to Build

Selective clearing, tree removal, stump grinding, and excavation — performed with care for the trees you want to keep and discipline for the ones you don’t.

Overview

Clearing With Discipline

Land clearing done badly compacts soil, damages adjacent trees, and leaves a site in worse shape than when it started. We clear selectively — protecting specimen trees you want to keep, root-pruning instead of bulldozing where access allows, and hauling material off-site rather than burning or burying.

Specimen tree protection
Trees flagged for preservation are protected with root-zone fencing throughout the work.
Stump grinding to grade
Stumps ground 12 inches below grade where future construction or planting will follow.
Material hauled off
No burn piles, no buried debris. All cleared material removed and disposed of properly.

What's Included

Tree Survey

Existing trees identified and tagged for preservation, removal, or selective pruning.

Selective Tree Removal

Felled by experienced crews with care for adjacent structures and preserved trees.

Stump Grinding

Stumps ground 12” below grade; chips removed or used as mulch on site.

Brush & Debris Removal

All cleared material chipped or hauled off — no burning, no burial.

Excavation

Bulk earthwork for foundations, pads, drives, or pools using laser-grade equipment.

Erosion Control

Silt fence, wattles, and stabilization measures installed during and after the clear.

Our Approach

How a Clearing Project Runs

01

Site Walk & Tree Survey
Week 1

Walk the property, tag preserved trees, identify removal targets, plan equipment access.
02

Permits & Notifications
Weeks 2–3

Tree removal permits where required, neighbor notifications, dig-line marking.
03

Tree Protection
Week 4

Root-zone fencing installed around preserved trees before any equipment moves on site.
04

Clearing & Removal
Weeks 5–6

Selective removal, stump grinding, brush chipping, and haul-off of all material.
05

Stabilize & Restore
Week 7

Erosion control installed, site graded, ready for the next construction phase.

Common Questions

Land Clearing, Answered

Will you protect my mature trees?

Yes — and we recommend it. Mature specimen trees add value that no amount of new planting can recover for decades. Root-zone fencing and selective hand-clearing within drip lines is part of our standard approach.

Do you burn brush?

No. We chip on site (with chips offered to you for mulch) or haul off entirely. Burning is environmentally and aesthetically a bad choice for a finished property.

Do I need a permit?

Tree removal permits are required in many jurisdictions, especially for trees above a size threshold. We pull all required permits as part of the project.

Can clearing happen in winter?

Yes — and frozen ground actually reduces soil compaction during heavy-equipment work. Winter clearing is often kinder to the site than summer.
