You get a site that’s actually ready for what comes next. When your foundation contractor arrives, they can start immediately instead of dealing with unexpected obstacles.
When your septic installer shows up, they won’t hit roots that should have been removed. When heavy rains come, water flows where it should instead of pooling where your driveway belongs.
That’s what proper land clearing looks like in Eagleville, NY. Your project moves forward on schedule, your budget stays predictable, and you avoid the headaches that come from cutting corners on site preparation.

Yes, selective clearing is something we do regularly. We can work around trees you want to preserve, clear specific areas while leaving others untouched, and create clean boundaries between cleared and natural areas.
The key is identifying which trees to save before we start and making sure they’re healthy enough to survive the process. We plan access routes and work areas to minimize impact on areas you want to preserve.
This approach requires more careful planning and execution, but it allows you to keep mature trees that add value to your property while still preparing the areas you need for construction or development.
Timeline depends on the scope and weather conditions, but we give you realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. Most residential projects are completed within a few days to a week.
Factors that affect timeline include the size of the area, density of vegetation, terrain accessibility, and weather conditions. We build contingency planning into our schedules so your project stays on track even when weather doesn’t cooperate.
We keep you informed of progress throughout the project and coordinate with your other contractors to make sure site preparation aligns with your overall construction timeline. Clear communication about schedules helps you plan crew schedules accordingly.
