You get a clean slate that’s actually ready for construction. Level ground with proper drainage that won’t cause headaches later. No stumps hiding underground waiting to crack your foundation. No surprise rocks that stop construction crews in their tracks.
The debris is gone—hauled away properly instead of burned or buried on your property. Your project moves forward on schedule because the site work is actually finished, not just “good enough.”
Most importantly, you avoid the costly delays that happen when site preparation gets done wrong the first time. No re-grading. No drainage fixes. No foundation problems that trace back to poor site prep.
We’ve been clearing land in Round Lake and the surrounding area since 1997. We know the rocky soil conditions you’ll hit three feet down. We know which areas drain well and which ones need extra attention.
We’re not the crew that shows up with a borrowed bulldozer and hopes for the best. This is what we do, day in and day out. You’ll work directly with operators who’ve cleared hundreds of properties in this area.
We know the local disposal sites, the permit requirements, and how to work around the utilities that crisscross these older neighborhoods. When you need land clearing done right in Round Lake, you’re talking to people who understand exactly what that means.
First, we walk your property together. You show us exactly what needs to go and what stays. We identify any utilities, mark property lines, and spot potential drainage issues before we start moving dirt.
Then we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. Small lot with tight access gets different machinery than a wide-open field. We clear vegetation first, then handle the stumps and root systems that cause problems if left behind.
Grading comes next. We establish proper drainage patterns and create the level surfaces your project needs. Rocky areas get special attention because Round Lake soil loves to surprise you with buried boulders.
Finally, we haul away all the debris. Everything gets disposed of properly at approved sites. You get a clean, level property that’s ready for the next phase of your project. No cleanup required on your end.
Ready to get started?
You get complete vegetation removal, from small brush to mature trees. Stump grinding goes deep enough that you won’t have settlement issues later. Root systems get cleared out properly, not just cut at ground level.
All grading work includes establishing proper drainage patterns. Round Lake’s terrain can be tricky—areas that look fine on the surface can have drainage issues that show up later. We handle this upfront so your foundation contractor doesn’t hit surprises.
Debris removal means everything gets hauled to approved disposal sites. No burning piles left on your property. No stumps buried where they’ll cause problems later. The site is clean and ready for whatever comes next.
For Round Lake properties, we also handle the rocky soil conditions that can slow down other contractors. We know where you’re likely to hit ledge and how to work around it efficiently.
Land clearing costs in Round Lake typically range from $2,000 to $5,000 per acre, depending on tree density and terrain conditions. Lightly wooded lots with minimal grading needs cost less, while heavily forested properties with steep slopes or rocky conditions cost more.
The final price depends on what needs to be removed, how much grading is required, and disposal requirements. We provide detailed estimates after walking your property so you know exactly what’s included and why.
Spring through fall generally works best for most projects, though we work year-round when weather permits. Spring clearing gives you the full construction season ahead, while fall work prepares sites for early spring building starts.
Summer can be ideal if you’re not in a rush, as we sometimes have more flexibility in scheduling. Winter clearing is possible but weather-dependent—frozen ground can actually make some jobs easier while making others more challenging.
If your project has a specific timeline, it’s better to book early rather than wait for the “perfect” season, especially since good weather brings competition for contractor schedules.
Yes, we handle the permit requirements and coordinate with Dig Safe for utility marking before any excavation begins. Round Lake has specific regulations for tree removal and grading that we’re familiar with.
We also work with local utilities to ensure safe clearances around power lines, gas lines, and other infrastructure. This prevents delays and keeps everyone safe during the clearing process.
Part of our service includes knowing which projects need permits and which don’t, so you don’t have to figure that out on your own.
All debris gets hauled away and disposed of properly at approved sites. We don’t burn brush piles on your property or bury stumps where they’ll cause problems later. Everything is removed completely.
Depending on the trees removed, some material may have value as lumber or firewood. We can discuss options for valuable timber, though most residential clearing involves trees that are best disposed of rather than processed.
The goal is leaving you with a clean site that’s ready for construction, not a property scattered with debris piles that become your problem to deal with.
Round Lake’s soil can be challenging—you often hit ledge or large boulders just a few feet down. We know the local terrain and come prepared with the right equipment to handle rocky conditions efficiently.
Our experience in the area means we can spot potential rock issues during the initial site walk and factor that into the timeline and pricing. We don’t get surprised by conditions that slow down contractors unfamiliar with local soil.
When we encounter ledge or large rocks, we have the equipment to either remove them or work around them, depending on what makes sense for your project and budget.
Local contractors understand Round Lake’s specific conditions—soil types, drainage patterns, permit requirements, and disposal sites. We’ve been working in this area since 1997 and know what to expect on different properties.
You also get direct access to the owner and operators, not just whoever shows up that day. We’re invested in the local community and our reputation here, which means we care about getting your job done right.
Larger companies often subcontract local work anyway, so you’re paying extra for a middleman. Working directly with us means better communication, faster response times, and accountability to people you can actually reach when you need them.
