Land Preparation Process Clemons

How We Clear Your Land Right

First, we walk the property with you. Mark utilities, identify any challenges, discuss exactly what you need the finished site to look like. No assumptions, no surprises later.

Then we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. Trees, brush, stumps, rocks – whatever needs to go, goes. We’re not just pushing debris around or leaving you with a mess to deal with later.

Finally, we grade and prepare the site according to your project requirements. Proper drainage, level building areas, access routes that make sense. When we’re done, your builder or contractor can start immediately without having to fix our work first.

Commercial Land Clearing Clemons

What's Included in Every Job

Complete vegetation removal – trees, brush, stumps, roots that could cause problems later. We don’t leave anything that will interfere with your construction or regrow in six months.

Grading services to establish proper drainage and level building areas. This isn’t just pushing dirt around. It’s creating a foundation-ready surface that won’t settle or shift after construction begins.

Debris removal and disposal handled completely. No burn piles left on your property, no brush pushed into corners you’ll have to deal with later. The site is clean when we leave.

How long does land clearing typically take in Clemons?

Most residential lots take 2-5 days depending on the size and density of vegetation. A heavily wooded acre might take a full week, while a partially cleared half-acre could be done in two days. Commercial projects obviously vary more widely based on scope. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on what we see during the site visit, not some generic estimate that doesn’t account for your specific conditions.

Do you handle permits and environmental requirements for land clearing?

We help identify what permits you’ll need and can guide you through the process, but the permits themselves typically need to be pulled by the property owner. In Clemons, you’ll usually need to check with the town about tree removal restrictions and wetland setbacks. We know the local requirements and can tell you upfront if your project will need special approvals or environmental considerations before we start work.

What happens to all the trees and debris after clearing?

Everything gets removed from your property completely. Usable timber might go to local mills, brush gets chipped or composted, and stumps are either ground or hauled away depending on your preference and budget. We don’t leave burn piles or push debris to the property edges. When we’re finished, your land is ready for the next phase of your project without any cleanup work left for you to handle.

Can you clear land without damaging underground utilities or septic systems?

Absolutely, but it requires proper planning before we start. We always call Dig Safe to mark utilities, and we need you to show us any septic systems, wells, or private utilities that might not be on the official maps. Our operators know how to work around these systems safely. If your property has a lot of underground infrastructure, we might need to hand-clear certain areas or use smaller equipment, which we’ll discuss during the initial site visit.

How much does land clearing cost per acre in Clemons?

Costs vary significantly based on what’s actually on your land. Light brush and small trees might run $1,500-3,000 per acre, while heavily wooded areas with large trees and difficult access could be $4,000-8,000 or more per acre. Rock removal, steep slopes, and wet conditions all affect pricing. We provide fixed quotes after seeing your specific property, not estimates based on averages that might not apply to your situation.

Do you provide grading and site preparation beyond just clearing trees?

Yes, complete site preparation is part of what we do. After clearing vegetation, we can establish proper grades for drainage, create level building pads, install access roads, and prepare the site according to your construction plans. This integrated approach means you’re not coordinating between multiple contractors or dealing with one crew undoing another’s work. We handle the entire process from raw land to construction-ready site.
