Your cleared land becomes the solid foundation your construction project needs. No settling issues six months later because the roots weren’t cleared properly. No surprise water problems because drainage wasn’t planned correctly from the start.
You get a completely cleared site that’s properly graded and ready for your next contractor. The kind of site preparation that makes the rest of your project go smoothly instead of creating expensive problems down the road.
Most importantly, you get the peace of mind that comes from working with contractors who understand Elnora’s soil conditions and know how to handle local regulations without delays or complications.
We’ve been serving Elnora and the surrounding area since 1997. What started as a logging business transitioned to full-time excavation in 2020, with Josh’s son joining as a partner in 2022.
You’re working with a close-knit family operation where Josh is present on almost every job. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in town—we’re focused on being your excavator forever by doing the work right the first time.

Most residential lots in the Elnora area take 1-3 days to clear completely. The timeline depends on the size of your property and how heavily wooded it is.
A simple house lot with light vegetation might be finished in a day, while properties with mature trees and dense brush could take several days. Weather conditions can affect timing too—we need proper soil conditions for grading work.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes during the project. The goal is to have your site completely cleared, graded, and ready for your next contractor without delays.
Some land clearing projects in Elnora require permits, especially if you’re near wetlands or removing large numbers of trees. We’re familiar with local regulations and New York state requirements for clearing projects.
We can guide you through what permits might be needed and help ensure your project stays compliant. Some situations need special handling, and we know which ones require permits and which don’t.
The key is working with contractors who understand the local rules. We’ll handle the permit research and applications where needed so your project doesn’t get delayed by regulatory issues.
All cleared materials get hauled away as part of our service—you don’t have to worry about disposal. Trees and large debris are removed from your Elnora property completely.
Depending on the material, some gets recycled into mulch or firewood, and the rest goes to appropriate disposal facilities. We handle all the logistics of getting rid of everything we clear.
You’re left with a clean site, not piles of brush and wood chips to deal with. The cleanup is thorough, so your property is ready for the next phase of construction work without any leftover debris.
Land clearing costs depend on several factors including the size of your property, how heavily wooded it is, and what type of access we have to the work area. A small residential lot costs differently than a larger commercial site.
Rocky soil or tight access areas require more time and specialized equipment, which affects pricing. The number of mature trees and the amount of brush clearing needed also impacts the final cost.
We provide written estimates that clearly explain what work is included and what it will cost. No hidden fees for stump removal or debris hauling—everything is spelled out upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
