You need land that’s actually ready for what comes next. Not half-cleared with stumps lurking under the surface. Not a debris field that’ll cost you more time and money later.
When we finish your land clearing project in Chestertown, you get a clean slate. Level ground with proper drainage. All debris removed, not just pushed to the edges. Soil conditions that won’t surprise your foundation crew or landscaper.
That means your construction timeline stays on track. Your budget stays predictable. And you can focus on building instead of dealing with clearing problems that should have been handled right the first time.
We’ve been clearing land in Chestertown and throughout Warren County for years. We started as a logging business in 1997 and transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022.
We understand the local terrain, from rocky slopes to wetland boundaries that need careful handling. As a close-knit family business, Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality.
We’re not trying to be your cheapest option. We’re focused on being your excavator forever by providing exceptional care and value rather than just cheap labor.
Every land clearing project starts with understanding what you’re building and what your Chestertown property requires. We evaluate soil conditions, drainage needs, and access requirements before any digging begins.
Site preparation comes next. We clear and grade the area, ensuring proper drainage and access for construction. We handle complete vegetation removal, from small brush to mature trees, and selective clearing when you want to preserve specific trees or landscape features.
Site preparation covers rough and finish grading to establish proper drainage and prepare for construction. We understand Chestertown’s soil conditions and drainage patterns, so your finished grade actually works with the local environment instead of fighting it.

Your land clearing project includes complete vegetation removal, from small brush to mature trees. We handle selective clearing when you want to preserve specific trees or landscape features, and full lot clearing when you need a completely clean slate.

Debris removal and disposal are included in every project. No surprise charges for hauling away brush piles or tree debris. We leave your property clean and ready, not cluttered with clearing remnants that become your problem.
Timeline depends on your property size, vegetation density, and terrain challenges. A typical residential lot with moderate brush and trees usually takes 2-3 days from start to finish, including final grading and cleanup.
Larger commercial properties or heavily wooded areas can take a week or more. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on what we see during the initial site assessment, and we factor in potential weather delays since Chestertown’s climate can affect equipment access and soil conditions.
Most residential land clearing projects under a certain acreage don’t require special permits, but commercial projects and clearing near wetlands or steep slopes often do. Warren County has specific regulations about erosion control and environmental protection that can affect your project.
We’re familiar with local requirements and can help you understand what permits you might need. For complex situations, we recommend checking with the town planning office early in your project timeline to avoid delays.
Yes, selective clearing is a big part of what we do. We can work around mature trees, landscape features, or specific areas you want to preserve. The key is identifying these areas clearly before we start and planning equipment access routes that protect what you’re keeping.
Some situations require hand work around sensitive areas, which takes more time but prevents damage to valuable trees or established landscaping. We’ll discuss these details during the site assessment so you know exactly what’s possible with your specific property layout.
All debris removal and disposal are included in our land clearing service. We don’t just pile brush at the property edges and call it done. Tree debris, brush, and other vegetation get hauled away to appropriate disposal sites.
Larger logs can sometimes be processed for firewood if you want them, or removed completely if you prefer a clean slate. We handle all the logistics of debris disposal, so you don’t have to arrange separate hauling or worry about cleanup after the clearing work is finished.
Excavation costs depend on project size, soil conditions, site access, and specific requirements. A basic residential foundation might cost differently than a complex site with challenging access or rock removal needs.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific site and project requirements. Factors like disposal of excess material, rock removal, or special drainage requirements affect pricing. We’ll give you an accurate quote based on your property’s specific conditions and what your project actually needs.
Chestertown area soils vary significantly depending on location. Many areas have clay-based soils that require careful handling for proper drainage. Rocky conditions are common, especially in areas with ledge close to the surface.
Some locations have sandy soils that drain well but may require different foundation approaches. We evaluate soil conditions on every site and adjust our methods accordingly. Understanding local soil characteristics helps us plan the right approach for excavation and ensures proper drainage around your foundation.
