Lot Clearing for New Home Construction
Get your building site cleared and ready for foundation work — fast.
Building on a Wooded Lot? Here's the Challenge.
Traditional Lot Clearing
- Bulldozers scrape away topsoil
- Expensive hauling and disposal fees
- Stumps left behind or ground separately
- Takes weeks to complete
Forestry Mulching
- Preserves topsoil and root structure
- Nothing to haul — mulch stays on-site
- Trees and brush ground to grade level
- Most lots cleared in 1-3 days

The smarter way to clear your building lot
From Overgrown to Build-Ready
Whether you're a builder working on spec homes or a homeowner building your dream house, we get your lot cleared quickly without destroying the land.
Our forestry mulcher handles brush, saplings, and trees up to 6 inches in diameter. For larger trees, we coordinate with tree services to fell them first, then mulch the rest.
Lot Clearing Questions
Common questions about clearing for new construction
How much does it cost to clear a lot for building?
Typically $2,500-$6,000 for a standard residential lot (0.5-2 acres), depending on tree density and terrain. Get an instant estimate with our pricing calculator.
Can you work around trees I want to keep?
Absolutely. We're precise with our equipment and can selectively clear while preserving specimen trees. Just mark what stays.
What about stumps and roots?
Our mulcher grinds stumps down to or below grade level. No separate stump grinding needed for most projects.
How long does lot clearing take?
Most residential lots (under 2 acres) take 1-2 days. Larger or heavily wooded properties may take 3-5 days.
Do I need permits for lot clearing?
It depends on your township and lot size. Many areas require erosion control plans for larger clearing projects. We can advise, but always check with your local building department.
