You’ve got plans for your property. Maybe it’s a new home, a commercial building, or just reclaiming land that’s gotten out of hand. Right now, you’re looking at trees, brush, stumps, and debris that need to go.
When we’re done, you’ll have a clean, level site that’s ready for construction. No guesswork about whether the ground is properly prepared. No debris piles you’ll have to deal with later.
Just cleared, graded land that meets your project specifications. The difference between amateur clearing and professional site preparation shows up in your timeline, your budget, and the quality of what gets built on that land.
We’ve been clearing land in Greenfield and the surrounding area for years. When you call us, you’re working with people who understand both the technical side of excavation and the practical realities of getting projects done in Greenfield.
We’ve worked through every type of soil condition this area throws at contractors. From rocky hillsides to clay-heavy areas that challenge drainage, we’ve seen it all. Our equipment is maintained to handle the job, and our operators know how to work efficiently without tearing up your property.
This is a close-knit family business where Josh is present on almost every job to ensure quality. We focus on building lasting relationships with customers, aiming to be your “excavator forever” by providing exceptional care and value.
We start by walking your property with you to understand exactly what needs to be cleared and what needs to stay. This isn’t a quick glance – we’re looking at access routes, identifying any challenges, and making sure we understand your vision for the finished site.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. Different properties need different approaches, and we match our machinery to your terrain and clearing requirements. Our operators work systematically, clearing vegetation, removing stumps, and handling debris as we go.
The final step is site preparation and cleanup. We grade the cleared area according to your specifications, remove all debris from the property, and leave you with a clean site that’s ready for the next phase of your project. No surprises, no debris piles left behind, no “extras” that weren’t discussed upfront.

Site preparation and rough grading are part of what we do, not an add-on service. We understand that cleared land needs to be properly prepared for construction, drainage, or whatever comes next. Our operators know how to read the land and create the proper slope and drainage patterns your site needs.
We also handle the logistics that many property owners don’t think about upfront. Debris disposal, equipment access, protecting existing structures or utilities – these details matter, and we plan for them before we start rather than figuring them out as we go.
Spring and fall are typically the best seasons for land clearing in our area. Ground conditions are usually more stable, and you avoid the extreme weather of summer and winter. However, the best timing for your project depends on your construction schedule and site conditions. Some properties clear better in winter when the ground is frozen, especially if you have wet or soft soil.
Land clearing costs vary significantly based on what’s actually on your property. Light brush and small trees cost much less per acre than dense woods with large trees and stumps. Rocky terrain, wet areas, and difficult access all affect pricing.
We’ve seen properties that look similar from the road but require completely different approaches and equipment. That’s why we walk every property with you before providing a quote. We look at the density of vegetation, soil conditions, access routes, and any special challenges your site presents.
The only way to get an accurate price is to have someone who knows land clearing look at your specific property. We provide detailed estimates that account for all the work involved, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and what to expect.

Some properties clear better in winter when the ground is frozen, especially if you have wet or soft soil. If you’re planning construction, we often recommend clearing in fall so the site can settle over winter and be ready for building in spring.
Weather windows can be unpredictable, so it’s smart to plan ahead and have some flexibility in your timeline. We work with you to find the timing that makes the most sense for your project goals and site conditions.
We’re familiar with local regulations in Greenfield and can guide you through what’s typically required, but permit responsibility usually stays with the property owner. Different projects trigger different requirements – clearing near wetlands, removing large numbers of trees, or working on steep slopes often need permits or have specific restrictions.
Most residential land clearing projects don’t require extensive permitting, but it’s always better to check first than deal with problems later. We can help you understand what questions to ask your local building department based on your specific project.
The key is getting this sorted out before we start work. Nobody wants to be halfway through a project and find out they needed permits they didn’t get. We’ve been doing this long enough to know which projects typically need extra approvals.
Debris removal is included in our land clearing service – you don’t have to worry about what happens to the trees, brush, and stumps we remove. We handle all the logistics of getting debris off your property and disposed of properly.
Depending on your property and preferences, we might burn debris on-site where it’s allowed, haul it to appropriate disposal facilities, or chip it into mulch. Each method has advantages depending on the amount of debris, local regulations, and your timeline.
What you won’t have is piles of brush and wood sitting on your property for months. We clean up as we go and make sure your site is ready for the next phase of your project. That’s part of providing complete service rather than just showing up with equipment and leaving you to figure out the rest.
Most residential land clearing projects take anywhere from one to five days, depending on the size of the lot, density of vegetation, and site conditions. A typical house lot with moderate vegetation usually takes two to three days from start to finish.
The timeline depends on several factors: how much needs to be cleared, what type of vegetation we’re dealing with, soil conditions, weather, and access to the site. Dense woods with large trees and stumps take longer than clearing brush and smaller trees.
We give you a realistic timeline during our initial site visit based on your specific conditions. We’d rather give you an accurate estimate upfront than promise something unrealistic. Most delays happen because of weather or discovering site conditions that weren’t obvious during the initial assessment, which is why we build some flexibility into our schedules.
Yes, we can clear land in winter, and sometimes it’s actually the best time for certain properties. Frozen ground can make it easier to access wet or soft areas that would be difficult to work in during warmer months. Winter clearing also means your site is ready to go when construction season starts in spring.
The main considerations are weather windows and ground conditions. We need decent weather to operate equipment safely, and extremely cold temperatures can make some tasks more challenging. But we’ve cleared plenty of properties in winter without problems.
Winter clearing works especially well if you’re planning spring construction. It gives the site time to settle over the winter months, and any minor drainage issues become apparent before you start building. The key is planning ahead and having realistic expectations about weather delays.
