Our Land Clearing Process

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we visit your property to assess the scope of work and provide you with a clear, upfront estimate. No hidden fees or surprise costs later – you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.

Once you approve the estimate, we schedule your project and show up with the right equipment for your specific job. We clear all vegetation, remove trees and stumps, and haul away debris so you don’t have to deal with disposal.

After clearing, we grade your land to ensure proper drainage and create a level surface ready for construction. We do a final cleanup to make sure your property is completely ready for the next phase of your project. You get cleared, graded land that meets your specifications and timeline.

How much does land clearing cost per acre in East Galway?

Land clearing costs vary based on terrain, vegetation density, tree size, and site accessibility. Light brush clearing typically costs less than heavily wooded areas with large trees and difficult access. We provide free estimates after visiting your property to assess the specific conditions and scope of work. This allows us to give you an accurate price rather than a generic per-acre rate that might not reflect your actual project needs. Most residential lot clearing projects in East Galway range from moderate to complex depending on the property’s current state.
Timeline depends on your property size and the amount of vegetation to remove. A typical residential lot takes 1-3 days to clear and grade completely. Larger commercial sites or heavily wooded properties may take a week or more. We schedule projects to meet your construction timeline and can often work around weather delays to keep your project on track. During your estimate, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific property conditions and our current schedule.
We’re familiar with local East Galway regulations and can advise you on permit requirements for your project. Some clearing projects require permits, especially if they involve wetlands, steep slopes, or large tree removal. We help you understand what’s required and can work with your contractor or architect to ensure compliance. While property owners typically handle permit applications, we provide the technical information and site plans often needed for permit submissions.
We handle complete debris removal and proper disposal as part of our service. Trees are typically processed for lumber or firewood when possible, while brush and smaller debris are taken to appropriate disposal facilities. We don’t leave burn piles or debris on your property unless specifically requested. Everything is hauled away, leaving you with clean, clear land ready for construction. This saves you the time and expense of dealing with debris removal yourself.
Yes, we can clear land year-round in most conditions. Winter clearing is often more efficient because frozen ground supports heavy equipment better, reducing soil compaction and rutting. However, extremely wet conditions or deep snow may require waiting for better weather. We schedule winter projects carefully and will advise you if conditions aren’t suitable for quality work. Many property owners prefer winter clearing because it prepares their land for spring construction starts.
Absolutely. Complete site preparation is part of what we do best. After clearing vegetation and debris, we grade your land to create proper drainage and the level surface your construction project requires. This includes rough grading for overall site preparation and fine grading for specific building areas if needed. Proper grading prevents water problems and ensures your foundation work can proceed smoothly. We coordinate with your builder or architect to meet their specific site preparation requirements.
