You get ground that’s actually ready for construction. Not just trees knocked down and debris scattered around, but land that’s been cleared, graded, and prepared by someone who understands what your foundation contractor needs to see when they arrive.
That means proper drainage considerations so you don’t end up with water pooling where your basement will be. It means soil that’s been properly compacted and graded to the right specifications. It means debris that’s actually gone, not just pushed to the edges of your lot.
When we finish your land clearing project, your site is ready for the next phase of construction. No delays, no surprises, no having to call someone else to fix problems that should have been handled correctly from the start.
We’ve been clearing land in the Clark Mills area for years. We understand the soil conditions, drainage challenges, and terrain variations that make each project unique in this region.
Our team knows the difference between rocky areas that need special equipment and sections with clay that require different handling. We work with local inspectors regularly and understand what they expect to see.
You’re working with contractors who live and work in this community. We’re invested in doing quality work because our reputation depends on it.
First, we visit your property to assess soil conditions, access points, and any potential challenges. We’ll discuss your timeline and provide a clear estimate with no hidden costs.
Next, we handle the complete clearing process. Clark Mills has varied soil conditions, and we come prepared for rock. Our equipment includes hydraulic hammers for breaking up rock ledge and specialized tools for removing large stones.
Finally, we clean up completely and coordinate with your other contractors. That includes establishing proper drainage patterns, compacting soil where necessary, and creating the level building pad your foundation contractor expects to find. Every project includes complete cleanup and debris removal.
Ready to get started?
You get complete site preparation from initial clearing through final grade. We handle tree removal, stump grinding, brush clearing, and complete debris disposal. No piles of brush left for you to deal with later.
We also provide the grading and site preparation that most property owners don’t realize they need. This includes establishing proper drainage patterns, compacting soil where necessary, and creating the level building pad your foundation contractor expects to find.
For residential projects, we make sure your lot is ready for your builder to start work immediately. For commercial projects, we coordinate with your general contractor to ensure the site meets all specifications. Basic site grading is included with our land clearing service to ensure proper drainage and create a level building area.
Land clearing costs vary significantly based on the density of trees, terrain difficulty, and what needs to be preserved on your property. A lightly wooded flat lot costs much less than heavily forested property with steep slopes or wet areas.
We provide free estimates after walking your property because every piece of land is different. The estimate includes all clearing, debris removal, and basic grading so you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront.
Clark Mills has varied soil conditions, and rocky soil or tight access can increase costs. We come prepared for rock with hydraulic hammers and specialized equipment, so we can give you an accurate estimate that accounts for local conditions.
Most residential lot clearing projects take 1-3 days depending on the size and complexity of your property. Larger commercial sites or heavily wooded areas may take a week or more.
Weather conditions and soil moisture can affect timing, especially during spring thaw or after heavy rains. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate and keep you updated if conditions change.
We understand that construction schedules are tight, so we work to meet your deadlines. We also coordinate with other contractors on your project so excavation happens when you need it, not when it’s convenient for us.
We help you understand what permits may be required for your specific project, but permit applications are typically handled by the property owner or your general contractor. Requirements vary based on the size of your project, proximity to wetlands, and local regulations.
We can advise you on what the clearing process will involve so you can provide accurate information on permit applications. Our experience with local projects means we understand what regulators typically want to see.
We work with local inspectors regularly and know what they’re looking for, so we make sure our work meets code requirements. We’ll coordinate with inspectors when they need to check work before construction continues.
Yes, selective clearing is a big part of what we do. During our initial site visit, we’ll mark trees you want to preserve and plan our approach to protect them during the clearing process.
We use equipment appropriate for working around valuable trees and take care to avoid root damage. However, some trees may be at risk if they’re too close to others being removed or if the grade change affects their root systems.
We’ll discuss which trees can realistically be preserved based on your overall site plan and grading requirements. Sometimes we can work around existing trees, other times adjustments to the building location or site design make more sense.
Basic site grading is included with our land clearing service to ensure proper drainage and create a level building area. This includes establishing the rough grade your foundation contractor needs and ensuring water flows away from your building site.
If your project requires extensive grading, precise finish grading, or specialized drainage work, we can handle those services as well. We’ll discuss your specific grading needs during the estimate so you understand what’s included and what might be additional.
Proper drainage starts with understanding where water naturally wants to go and working with those patterns instead of against them. We create slopes that direct water away from buildings and toward appropriate drainage areas without creating problems for neighboring properties.
Clark Mills has varied soil conditions, and we come prepared for rock. Our equipment includes hydraulic hammers for breaking up rock ledge and specialized tools for removing large stones.
We’ve worked throughout this area and understand where rock is likely to be encountered. When we hit unexpected rock, we discuss options with you before proceeding since it can affect costs.
Sometimes we can work around rock formations, other times removal is necessary for proper foundation or septic installation. Our experience with local soil conditions means we can usually predict what we’ll encounter and plan accordingly during the estimate phase.
