You need land that’s actually ready for construction. Not half-cleared with stumps lurking underground or graded so poorly that water pools where your foundation should go.
When we clear your Cambridge property, you get level ground that drains properly. Soil that’s been preserved, not destroyed by amateur operators who don’t understand local conditions.
Your project stays on schedule because the groundwork was done right the first time. No surprises six months later when tree roots push through your driveway or water starts pooling against your foundation.
We’ve been serving Cambridge and Washington County for over 25 years. We started as a logging business in 1997 and transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, bringing deep understanding of both equipment and local terrain.
Josh is present on almost every job, ensuring quality work that meets our standards. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in Cambridge – we’re focused on being your excavator for life through exceptional service and results.
We understand Cambridge’s unique challenges, from rocky soil conditions to wetland considerations. Our goal is building lasting relationships with property owners who value quality work over quick fixes.
First, we walk your Cambridge property together. You show us exactly what needs to go and what stays, and we identify potential issues like utilities, drainage concerns, or soil conditions that might affect our approach.
Next, we bring the right equipment for your specific job. Small residential lots get different treatment than large commercial sites. We remove trees, brush, and debris systematically, preserving topsoil where possible and ensuring proper drainage patterns.
Finally, we grade the cleared area according to your project needs. Whether you need basic leveling for construction or detailed grading with specific slopes for drainage, we leave you with land that’s ready for the next phase.

Your land clearing project includes complete vegetation removal, stump grinding, debris hauling, and basic grading. We handle everything from small residential lots to larger commercial developments in Cambridge and surrounding Washington County areas.
Cambridge properties often present unique challenges with rocky terrain, seasonal water issues, and access limitations. Our equipment fleet includes both compact machines for tight spaces and larger equipment for extensive clearing projects.
We provide fixed-price quotes after visiting your site because Cambridge soil conditions vary significantly – from sandy loam to clay to rocky areas. Pricing depends on property size, vegetation density, terrain difficulty, and debris disposal requirements, typically ranging from a few thousand to several thousand per acre depending on complexity.
Pricing depends heavily on what’s actually on your Cambridge land and what you need done with it. An acre of light brush and small trees costs significantly less than an acre of mature hardwood forest.
Steep slopes, wet areas, and proximity to buildings all affect complexity and cost. Basic clearing might run anywhere from a few thousand to several thousand per acre, but detailed grading, stump grinding, and challenging site conditions change those numbers quickly.
We provide written estimates after seeing your specific property because generic per-acre pricing often doesn’t reflect what you’ll actually pay for your particular Cambridge site conditions.
Most residential lots in Cambridge take one to three days, depending on tree and brush density, lot size, and required grading work. A heavily wooded acre obviously takes longer than a half-acre with scattered trees.
Weather conditions affect timing – we won’t grade your property into a muddy mess during heavy rain periods. Cambridge’s seasonal conditions mean late fall through early spring typically works best, when ground is firm enough for heavy equipment but not frozen solid.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront based on what we see during the initial site visit, and we stick to it unless we encounter something unexpected like underground obstacles or unmarked utility lines.
Yes, selective clearing is something we do regularly for Cambridge property owners. We’ll mark trees you want preserved during our initial site visit and plan our approach to protect them.
Our operators know how to work around mature trees without damaging root systems or bark. We can also preserve specific landscape features, stone walls, or other elements you want to incorporate into your final design.
Clear communication upfront about what stays and what goes prevents any misunderstandings during the work. This is especially important on Cambridge properties where mature trees add significant property value.
We help you understand what permits you might need, but permit applications typically need to come from the property owner. Cambridge and Washington County have specific regulations about wetlands, steep slopes, and tree removal that can affect your project.
We know the local requirements and can advise you on compliance issues. For complex sites near wetlands or with environmental restrictions, we recommend getting permits sorted before scheduling work to avoid delays or complications.
Most residential land clearing projects don’t require extensive permitting, but it’s always better to check with local authorities early in the planning process. We can guide you through what’s typically required for your type of project.
Complete debris removal and site cleanup are included in our land clearing service – that’s part of the job, not an extra charge. We handle all brush, tree debris, and other materials removed during clearing.
The job isn’t finished until your Cambridge site is clean and ready for the next phase of your project. We don’t just pile debris on your property and leave you to deal with it.
Our cleanup process includes proper disposal of all organic matter and ensuring your cleared land is left in condition that allows construction crews to work efficiently. You get a truly construction-ready site, not just a partially cleared lot.
Cambridge and Washington County soil conditions vary significantly, from sandy loam to clay to rocky areas. We understand which trees have root systems that extend far beyond what you’d expect and how to handle the rocky soil conditions common in parts of Cambridge.
Seasonal challenges include wet spring conditions that can make grading difficult and potentially damage soil structure. That’s why timing matters – we work with Cambridge’s climate patterns to ensure optimal results.
Soil preservation matters for your long-term success. We separate and preserve topsoil when possible, especially important for areas around your cleared site where you’ll want grass or landscaping to grow properly later. This local knowledge comes from years of working specifically in this area.
