What Is Lot Clearing?

Lot clearing involves the removal of trees, stumps, brush, and debris from a designated area. It’s often the first step in:



  • Home construction or additions
  • Garage or shed installation
  • Driveway or fence construction
  • Landscape redesign or grading
  • General overgrowth removal and yard expansion

Our team clears properties of all sizes, from small suburban lots to multi-acre residential parcels.

Our Lot Clearing Process

Every project starts with a site assessment and a custom plan. Here’s what our process typically includes:



  1. On-site inspection and estimate
  2. Tree and shrub removal
  3. Stump grinding and root removal
  4. Brush cutting and debris cleanup
  5. Optional grading or leveling

We handle everything from start to finish, ensuring your property is cleared safely and left ready for the next phase.

Tools and Equipment for Any Job

We use heavy-duty equipment, including chainsaws, brush cutters, chippers, stump grinders, and skid steers, to remove vegetation efficiently. Our crew is fully trained and insured, and we prioritize safety on every site—especially when working around buildings, driveways, and other structures.
