Complete Land Preparation Services

Everything Included in Land Clearing

Your land clearing service includes complete tree and brush removal, stump grinding, and debris disposal. We handle both selective clearing to preserve specific trees and complete lot clearing for maximum building space.

Grading services ensure proper drainage and soil preparation for construction. We create access roads and driveways as needed, and handle any rock removal or soil conditioning required for your specific building plans.

Environmental compliance and permit coordination are included so you don’t have to navigate regulatory requirements on your own. In Diamond Point’s challenging terrain, this often means working around wetland boundaries, steep slopes, and rocky conditions that require specialized equipment and local knowledge to handle properly.

How long does land clearing take for a typical residential lot?

Most residential lots in Diamond Point take 2-5 days to clear completely, depending on the density of trees, terrain challenges, and size of the area. Heavily wooded lots with large trees or rocky conditions may take longer. We provide a realistic timeline during our initial site visit based on your specific property conditions. Weather can affect scheduling, especially during mud season or winter months, so we build some flexibility into project timelines to account for Adirondack seasonal challenges.

What permits are needed for land clearing in Diamond Point?

Permit requirements depend on the size of your clearing area, proximity to wetlands, and local regulations. Most residential projects require a building permit that covers site preparation, but larger clearing operations may need additional environmental permits. We handle the permit research and application process as part of our service, since requirements can vary significantly based on your property’s specific location and environmental features. Our local experience means we know which permits are needed and how to get them approved efficiently.

Can you preserve specific trees while clearing the rest of the lot?

Yes, selective clearing is common and often preferred to maintain mature trees and natural features. We carefully mark trees you want to keep and plan our clearing pattern to protect their root systems and avoid damage from heavy equipment. The key is identifying these trees early in the planning process so we can design the most efficient clearing approach. Some trees may need protective barriers during the work, and we’ll recommend which trees are likely to survive the construction process and which ones might be at risk.

How do you handle rocky soil conditions common in this area?

Diamond Point’s rocky terrain requires specialized equipment and techniques that we’ve developed through years of working in this area. We use rock hammers and specialized excavation tools to break up large rocks and ledge. Smaller rocks can often be crushed and used as fill material, while larger boulders may need to be relocated or removed entirely. We assess rock conditions during our initial site visit and factor any additional rock work into our project timeline and pricing upfront, so there are no surprises later.

What happens to all the trees and debris after clearing?

All debris gets removed from your property as part of our service. Usable logs may be processed for lumber or firewood if you’re interested, otherwise everything gets disposed of properly at approved facilities. We don’t burn debris on-site due to fire regulations and environmental concerns. Stumps are ground below grade so they won’t interfere with construction or landscaping. Wood chips from stump grinding can be left on-site for your use or removed, depending on your preference and future landscaping plans.

Do you provide grading services along with land clearing?

Yes, proper grading is included in our land clearing service because it’s essential for construction readiness. We establish correct drainage patterns to direct water away from your building site and prevent erosion problems. Final grading creates the level surfaces needed for foundations, driveways, and landscaping. Our grading work follows your building plans and local code requirements for proper drainage and soil preparation. If your project requires extensive cut and fill work or specialized drainage systems, we’ll discuss those requirements during our initial consultation.
