Timber and brush down
Everything standing comes down and gets moved to where it can be dealt with.
Land Clearing
Take it down to usable ground.
Trees, brush, stumps and debris off the property — so what's left is ground you can actually do something with.
What it is
Clearing is what you want when the ground has to end up bare.
Land clearing removes the material instead of processing it in place. Standing timber and brush come down, stumps and root balls come out, and the debris is pushed into piles and dealt with — burned where that's allowed, hauled off, or stacked out of the way.
That's the difference that matters when you're building. A mulched tract still has a chip layer and a root system in it. A cleared tract is open dirt you can grade, compact, dig footings in, or run a fence across the same week.
It costs more than mulching, and it should — there's more machine time in it and there's material to deal with at the end. If bare ground isn't what you need, we'll tell you mulching is the better buy.
What's included
What clearing a tract actually involves
Stumps and roots out
Root balls pulled whole so the ground isn't full of rot and voids later.
Debris handled
Piled, burned where permitted, or hauled — decided with you before we start, because it moves the price.
The finish The finish
Cleared, then left the way you'll use it.
Clearing doesn't end when the last tree is down. The ground gets knocked down and smoothed so it drains and so you're not walking into ruts and holes.
If the next step is a pad, a drive or a pasture, we can carry straight on into the dirt work rather than you hiring that out separately.

Questions about this work
How many acres can you do in a day?
It depends almost entirely on what's growing. Light brush moves fast. Mature hardwood with big root balls is slow. We'd rather walk it and give you a real number than quote an acre-a-day figure that turns out to be wrong.
Will clearing cause erosion?
It can, on a slope, if the ground is left bare and nothing is done about it. We'll talk about that before we start — sometimes the right answer is mulching instead, or leaving a buffer, or shaping the ground so water has somewhere to go.
Do I need a permit?
That depends on where the property is, whether wetlands are involved, and whether you plan to burn. It's on the property owner, but we'll tell you if we see something that looks like it needs a call.
