When we finish clearing your Durkeetown property, your builder can start work immediately. No delays because the prep work wasn’t done right. No discovering halfway through that something was missed.
Your site is completely ready for construction – all vegetation removed, stumps ground below grade, debris hauled away, and proper grading for drainage. We handle the permitting process and make sure everything complies with local requirements from the start.
You get a clean, level site that meets building requirements and passes inspections. Your contractor shows up to a professional job site, and you move forward with confidence knowing the foundation of your project is solid.
We’ve been serving Durkeetown and surrounding areas since our logging days started in 1997. We transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, and Josh’s son joined as a partner in 2022.
We’re not the biggest company around, and that’s exactly why you want us. Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. We focus on building lasting relationships with customers, aiming to be your “excavator forever” rather than just another contractor you’ll never see again.
We understand Durkeetown’s local soil conditions, drainage patterns, and what it takes to prepare sites that will pass inspection and support long-term construction. Our operators know how to work around existing utilities and preserve the trees you want to keep.
First, we visit your property to assess the scope of work and mark any trees or features you want preserved. We discuss your timeline, explain what permits might be needed, and provide a realistic schedule upfront.
Next, we handle the clearing work systematically – removing vegetation, grinding stumps below grade, and hauling away all debris. We’re equipped with the right machinery for your specific site conditions, which keeps projects moving efficiently.
Finally, we complete the grading work that creates proper drainage and meets local building requirements. If your project needs specific soil conditions or compaction levels, we take care of that too. You won’t need to bring in another contractor to finish what we started.

Our land clearing service means your site is completely ready for construction when we leave. That includes removing all vegetation, grinding stumps below grade, and hauling away debris. We handle the grading work that creates proper drainage and meets local building requirements.
For Durkeetown properties, we’re familiar with local regulations around wetlands, setbacks, and erosion control. We can help navigate the permitting process and make sure your clearing work complies with town requirements from the start.
Most residential lots in our area take 1-3 days to clear completely, depending on size and vegetation density. Weather, soil conditions, and access to your property all affect timeline, but we provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The key is having the right equipment for your specific site – that’s what keeps projects moving efficiently.
Land clearing costs vary significantly based on terrain, vegetation density, and what needs to be done with the cleared material. Most residential projects in our area range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on lot size and complexity.
Factors that affect pricing include the number and size of trees, terrain difficulty, access to your property, and whether you want materials hauled away or left on-site. Rocky soil or wet conditions can affect costs, while good access and favorable conditions help keep prices down.
We provide upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The quote includes everything needed to get your site construction-ready, so you can budget accurately from the start.
Absolutely. Selective clearing is a big part of what we do, and it’s something we handle regularly for Durkeetown properties.
During our initial site visit, we’ll mark trees and features you want preserved and plan our approach accordingly. Our operators have experience working around valuable trees, existing structures, and landscaping you want to keep.
The key is discussing your priorities during the planning phase so we can adjust our equipment and methods. Some trees can be preserved with proper root protection, while others might need removal if they interfere with construction access or safety.
Permit requirements depend on the size of your project and specific location factors like proximity to wetlands or steep slopes. Most residential lot clearing projects require some level of permitting or notification.
We’re familiar with Durkeetown’s requirements and can help you determine what permits are needed. We can also assist with the application process if required, which saves you time and ensures everything is done correctly.
Starting the permitting process early helps prevent delays once you’re ready to begin clearing. We’ll walk you through what’s needed for your specific property during our initial consultation.
Most residential lots take 1-3 days to clear completely, depending on size and vegetation density. Larger properties or heavily wooded lots can take a week or more.
Weather conditions, soil type, and access to your property all affect the timeline. Rocky soil or wet conditions can slow progress, while good access and favorable conditions speed things up.
We provide a realistic timeline during the estimate process and keep you updated if conditions affect the schedule. Planning for a few extra days helps avoid stress if unexpected conditions arise, like discovering underground utilities or encountering unusually difficult soil conditions.
Our service includes everything needed to get your site construction-ready. We remove all vegetation, grind stumps below grade, and haul away debris. We also handle the grading work that creates proper drainage and meets local building requirements.
If your project needs specific soil conditions or compaction levels, we take care of that too. We can work around existing utilities, preserve trees you want to keep, and handle any permitting requirements.
You won’t need to coordinate with multiple contractors or worry about whether something was missed. When we finish, your site is ready for your builder to start work immediately.
That depends on your timeline, equipment access, and experience level. Small brush clearing projects might be manageable for property owners with the right tools and time.
However, anything involving large trees, stump removal, or precise grading typically requires professional equipment and expertise. Consider the cost of equipment rental, disposal fees, and your time investment.
Most importantly, consider the risk – improper clearing can create drainage problems, soil compaction issues, or safety hazards that cost far more to fix later than doing it right the first time. Professional clearing ensures your site meets building codes and passes inspections.
