Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been serving Holcombville since 1997, starting as a logging operation and transitioning to full-time excavation in 2020. We’re a close-knit family business where Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality work.
We understand Holcombville’s terrain, soil conditions, and local requirements. Whether you’re building a new home or developing commercial property, we know what permits might be needed and can tell you upfront if your project requires special considerations for wetlands, slopes, or environmental review.
Our goal isn’t just to clear your land—it’s to be your excavator forever by providing the kind of quality and care that builds lasting relationships.
We start with a site assessment to understand your specific needs—selective clearing where you want to keep certain trees, or complete lot clearing for new construction. We identify any challenges upfront so there are no surprises that delay your timeline.
Tree and brush removal comes first, followed by stump grinding and debris removal. We handle both the clearing and the cleanup, so you won’t have burn piles or debris left on your property unless you specifically request it. All material gets properly disposed of or recycled.
Finally, we grade your site to work with the natural contours while meeting your project requirements. Whether you need drainage improvements or specific elevation changes for construction, we prepare your land so it’s ready for building.

Your land clearing project includes tree and brush removal, stump grinding, and complete debris removal from your property. We handle both selective clearing where you want to preserve certain features and complete lot clearing for new construction.
Grading services prepare your site for construction, improve drainage, or level areas for specific uses. We work with Holcombville’s natural terrain while meeting your project specifications. Our equipment handles challenging conditions—wet ground, tight access areas, and difficult terrain that smaller operations can’t manage effectively.
For larger commercial projects, we coordinate with other contractors and handle the site preparation phase of your development. All debris gets removed as part of our service, with materials either chipped for mulch, taken to approved disposal facilities, or recycled depending on the type.
Most residential lots in Holcombville take 1-3 days to clear completely, depending on the density of trees and brush, lot size, and whether you need grading services. Smaller lots with light vegetation might be finished in a single day, while heavily wooded properties or those requiring extensive grading can take up to three days.
The timeline also depends on access to your property and soil conditions. If we encounter wet ground or need to work around existing structures, it may add time to the project. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly for the next phase of your project.
Permit requirements for land clearing in Holcombville depend on your lot size, the scope of clearing, and whether your property has wetlands or protected areas. Most residential projects don’t require special permits for basic land clearing, but larger commercial projects or properties near water sources may need environmental review.
We help you understand what permits might be needed for your specific project, but permit applications are typically handled by the property owner or your general contractor. We know the local requirements and can tell you upfront if your project needs special considerations for slopes, tree preservation ordinances, or environmental regulations. This prevents surprises that could delay your timeline.
Yes, all debris gets removed from your property as part of our land clearing service. Trees and brush are either chipped for mulch, taken to approved disposal facilities, or recycled depending on the material. You won’t have burn piles or debris piles left on your land unless you specifically request it.
We follow all environmental best practices for debris disposal and can coordinate recycling when possible. If you want to keep certain materials—like logs for firewood or wood chips for landscaping—just let us know during planning and we can arrange that. Otherwise, your property will be completely clean when we finish.
Absolutely. We handle both selective clearing where you want to keep certain trees or features, and complete lot clearing for new construction. During our site assessment, we’ll walk through your property to identify which trees you want to preserve and plan the clearing around them.
Selective clearing requires more precision and planning, but it’s often worth it to maintain mature trees that add value to your property. We’re careful to protect the root systems of trees you’re keeping and can work around existing landscaping features. This approach works well for homeowners who want to clear building areas while maintaining the natural character of their property.
Land clearing is the removal of trees, brush, and debris from your property. Site preparation goes further and includes grading, drainage considerations, and getting your land ready for construction. Most projects need both services to be truly ready for building.
Site preparation means understanding your soil conditions, working with natural drainage patterns, and creating the proper grade for your foundation or structure. It’s the difference between just having trees removed and having land that’s actually ready for construction. We provide both services so your project moves smoothly from cleared land to construction-ready site without delays or problems.
Yes, for larger commercial projects or complex residential developments, we coordinate with other contractors and handle the site preparation phase of your project. We understand how land clearing and grading fit into the overall construction timeline and work with general contractors, builders, and utility companies to keep everything on schedule.
Our equipment can handle the heavy lifting for site access, material delivery, and coordination with utility installations. We’ve worked on projects ranging from single-family homes to commercial developments, and we know how to sequence our work so other trades can follow without delays. Clear communication and proper timing are essential for larger projects, and that’s where our experience makes a difference.
