Land Clearing Contractor

Land Clearing Contractor from E & J General Contracting — a family-owned crew working across Louisville, Bullitt County, and central Kentucky.

What's Included

  • Tree felling, hauling, and disposal (or burn pile if permitted)
  • Stump grinding or full extraction
  • Brush hogging dense undergrowth
  • Forestry mulching for selective clearing
  • Burn permit coordination with county
  • Erosion control on cleared slopes

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.
