Brush & Lot Clearing FAQs
Common questions about our land clearing services.
How much does lot clearing cost?
Costs vary based on property size, vegetation density, access difficulty, and services required. Light brush clearing might start around $500-$1,000 per acre, while heavy clearing with tree removal and stump grinding could range from $2,000-$5,000+ per acre. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after site assessment.
Do I need a permit to clear my land?
Permit requirements vary by municipality and property specifics. In some areas, clearing over 1 acre or within certain distances of water bodies may require permits. Tree preservation by-laws may apply in some communities. We can advise on permit requirements during consultation and assist with applications if needed.
Can you work around trees I want to keep?
How long does clearing take?
Project duration depends on scope and conditions. Small residential lots (under 1 acre) might take 1-3 days. Medium projects (1-5 acres) typically take 3-7 days. Large acreage clearing may take 1-3 weeks or more. Weather, terrain, and debris disposal requirements can affect timing.
What happens to the cleared material?
You have options for debris handling. We can haul everything away for disposal, chip brush on-site for mulch (which you can keep or have spread), cut logs to firewood length, or leave materials piled for your use. We'll discuss your preferences and include the chosen option in your quote.
Can you work in wet or marshy areas?
We can clear most wet areas, though equipment access may be limited during very wet conditions. For consistently wet areas, we may recommend winter clearing when ground is frozen, or use specialized equipment designed for soft terrain. We'll assess conditions and advise on the best approach.
Do you clear properties with no road access?
Yes, we regularly work on remote properties. We have equipment that can be trailered in and smaller machines that can navigate narrower access routes. Very remote sites may require special planning. Let us know about access constraints during consultation.
Can you handle large tree removal?
We handle trees up to approximately 24 inches in diameter as part of our standard clearing services. For larger trees or trees near structures requiring specialized rigging, we partner with certified arborists to ensure safe removal. We'll assess trees during consultation and coordinate any specialized work needed.
Is stump grinding included in clearing?
Stump grinding can be included or quoted separately based on your needs and budget. Surface grinding (6-12 inches below grade) is typical for most applications. Deep grinding (complete root system removal) is available for building sites. We'll discuss your intended use for the area and recommend appropriate options.
