You get a construction-ready site that won’t cause headaches down the road. No surprises about drainage problems when the foundation goes in. No delays because the grading wasn’t done right the first time.
Your property gets cleared efficiently without damaging the trees you want to keep. The debris gets hauled away completely, not left in piles for you to deal with later. When we’re done, your contractor can start building immediately.
No waiting around for additional site work or cleanup. Just a properly prepared lot that’s ready for the next phase of your project.
We’ve been clearing land in the Adirondack region since transitioning from logging in 2020. We understand the rocky soil conditions, the mature forest challenges, and the drainage requirements that make or break construction projects around here.
Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality, working alongside his son who joined as a partner in 2022. We’re not the biggest operation in the area, but that’s exactly why you get the attention your project deserves.
The Adirondacks present unique challenges that contractors from outside the region often underestimate. We’ve learned to work with the terrain, not against it.
First, we walk your property and discuss which trees stay and which ones go. We coordinate with you on the approach that makes the most sense for your specific site and building plans.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your terrain. Our machinery handles trees of any size you’ll find around Bakers Mills, including large mature trees near property lines or buildings that require more careful removal techniques.
Then we clear, grade, and prepare your site for construction. This includes proper drainage setup and a level foundation area that meets construction requirements. We understand the soil conditions around Bakers Mills and grade accordingly.
Finally, we haul away all debris completely. Trees get cut up and loaded onto our trucks for disposal at appropriate facilities. We don’t burn brush piles on your property or leave you with cleanup work.

Your land clearing service includes tree removal, brush clearing, stump grinding, and complete debris removal. Site grading and preparation come standard. This means proper drainage setup and a level foundation area that meets construction requirements.
Access road preparation is included when needed for construction vehicles. We can also handle utility line clearing and septic system area preparation. Basically, everything needed to get your property ready for the building phase of your project.
Most residential lot clearing in Bakers Mills takes 2-5 days depending on the size and complexity of your project. A simple half-acre lot with light forest might be done in two days. A heavily wooded acre with large trees and difficult access could take a week. Weather affects timing too – we can’t do finish grading work in muddy conditions.
Land clearing costs depend on several factors specific to your property. Dense forest with large trees costs more than light brush clearing. Rocky terrain requires different equipment and more time.
Access to your property also affects pricing – if we need to bring equipment down a long driveway or across difficult terrain, that impacts the job. Most residential projects in the Bakers Mills area range from a few thousand for smaller lots to more for heavily wooded acres.
The best approach is getting an on-site estimate so we can give you accurate pricing based on what we actually find on your property.
We help you understand what permits might be needed, but permit applications are typically handled by the property owner or your contractor. Requirements vary depending on your property size, proximity to water sources, and local regulations.
Some clearing projects don’t require permits at all, while others need approval before work begins. We’ve worked on enough projects in the area to know what usually triggers permit requirements.
During our initial site visit, we can discuss what permits might apply to your specific situation and help you understand the process.
All debris removal is included in our land clearing service. Trees get cut up and loaded onto our trucks for disposal at appropriate facilities. We don’t burn brush piles on your property or leave you with cleanup work.
Larger logs can sometimes be processed for firewood if you want them, but most customers prefer complete removal. We handle the disposal properly and responsibly.
When we’re finished, your property is completely clear and ready for the next phase of your project. No piles of branches, no stumps unless you specifically want them left, and no cleanup work for you to worry about.
Absolutely. We coordinate with you on which trees to remove and which ones to work around. The key is using the right approach for each tree based on its size, location, and proximity to structures or other trees you want to preserve.
Large trees near property lines or buildings require more careful removal techniques, but they’re not a problem for our experienced operators. We have the equipment to safely remove large mature trees without damaging surrounding areas you want to preserve.
We’ll walk through your property with you before starting work to make sure we’re all on the same page about what stays and what goes.
Most residential lot clearing takes 2-5 days depending on the size and complexity of your project. A simple half-acre lot with light forest might be done in two days. A heavily wooded acre with large trees and difficult access could take a week.
Weather affects timing too – we can’t do finish grading work in muddy conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote your job, and we stick to it unless weather or unexpected site conditions require adjustments.
The goal is to have your property ready when your contractor needs to start building. We coordinate our schedule with your overall project timeline so everything flows smoothly.
