We’ve been clearing land in the Glens Falls area long enough to know what works and what doesn’t. The rocky soil, the mature hardwoods, the elevation changes – we’ve seen it all. You’re getting professionals who understand how to handle the challenging terrain around here without creating problems down the road.
Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional – you’re investing in work that’s done right the first time.
Every land clearing project starts with a site visit. We assess the terrain, identify any environmental considerations, and determine the best approach for your specific property. This isn’t a quick drive-by – we walk the entire area to spot potential issues before they become problems.
Next comes the actual clearing. We remove trees, brush, and vegetation while protecting anything you want to keep. Our equipment can work in tight spaces without damaging neighboring properties or structures you want to preserve.
Brush and smaller material gets chipped or disposed of properly. Stumps are ground below grade so they won’t interfere with construction. We don’t leave piles of debris or expect you to deal with cleanup. Your land gets cleared completely, not just pushed around.

Land clearing costs in New York range from $3,000 to $4,800 per acre, but your final cost depends on several factors specific to your property.
