Our Process
Walk the boundary
Mark what stays and what goes. Identify property pins, utilities, and any specimen trees you want saved.
Drop & process
Fell trees safely, cut to length, push brush. Burn or haul depending on permits and your preference.
Stump out
Grind to 6 inches below grade for building pads, or extract entirely for clean fields.
Rough grade & seed
Knock down ruts, spread topsoil, broadcast cover crop or pasture seed to hold the soil.
Pricing
Light brush clearing runs $500–$2,500 per acre. Heavy timber with stump removal runs $3,500–$8,000+ per acre depending on tree size and density. Forestry mulching (no haul-off, leaves a clean mulch layer) averages $1,800–$3,500 per acre. Burn piles save money when the county allows them.
