Land clearing is the process of removing vegetation, trees, stumps, and other obstacles from a plot of land. You can do this with various machinery and land clearing equipment, or you can tackle the project by hand. 

Land clearing services vary based on your needs and location, but no matter the project, you want a company you can trust. Whether you're clearing for construction or because of a safety concern, hiring a company that's upfront about land clearing costs is crucial. You also want a team that will do a quality job.

Land Clearing Cost

What is the Average Cost of Land Clearing?

Land clearing costs can range significantly depending on what you need. The nature of the land and what your project requires will all play a role in determining the final land clearing cost per acre. 

The average cost to clear land is a couple of dollars per square foot, which quickly adds up to thousands of dollars when multiple acres are involved. However, these costs can be much higher, especially in a densely wooded lot or where trees are exceptionally tall. 

Forestry mulching, rather than tree clearing, could save you a little bit. Forestry mulching will remove trees and brush, but at less cost. It typically costs between $400 and $600 per acre of land. Plus, you won't have to pay for debris removal. Instead, the mulch stays to benefit the soil.

Land Clearing & Grading

Services For Construction

Land clearing for construction sites is necessary, whether for a ten-story office building or a tract of two-bedroom homes. When clearing a large-scale construction project, a professional team is crucial. 

Commercial and residential tract clearing require specialized teams that can work with contractors to clear a heavily forested area. They probably won't use a pile and burn method, nor will they do much by hand. 

Instead, these teams will use special machinery and advanced techniques to remove brush and create a canvas the contractor can use. Typically that means leveling things out with excavators, but there are exceptions. Often, contractors limit excavation in order to keep the natural hills or other landscape pieces that might add value to the property. 

That means you need a team of land clearing professionals with big projects experience. Your standard residential tree removal company won't cut it. 

Cutting corners during land clearing for new construction sites can lead to significant expenses later, as well as safety issues. That's why it's vital to use a professional team that can communicate with the contractor and clear the land of debris. These specialists will also handle the permits required by local zoning boards to ensure the job is done within regulation.

What Is Forestry Mulching?

In a large, densely wooded area, forestry mulching might be the best way to clear the land. Forestry mulching uses one giant piece of equipment to shred trees into mulch and left in place on top of the ground, which improves the forest's topsoil. 

The equipment for forestry mulching can be as small as a skid steer but is often an excavator with an attachment. The attachment contains a rotary drum equipped with steel teeth. The teeth "eat" the trees, grinding their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots into natural nourishment for the soil. 

Forestry mulching is a one-step method that differs from traditional forestry clearing. The trees are recycled on-site, whereas, with traditional methods, you end up with timber to use or sell. Both options have their place, depending on what you need and what the land demands, though forestry mulching is becoming more popular. 

That's because forestry mulching has serious advantages. You don't have to worry about a permit in most locales, which you typically need for tree clearing. You also don't have to worry about erosion or destroying the health of your topsoil. With traditional methods, soil compaction, topsoil destruction, and erosion are all issues. 

Traditional tree clearing also takes a long time. It's a multi-step process that involves several pieces of equipment and is far from efficient. With forestry mulching, you're done in one step. 

Furthermore, forestry mulching doesn't require you to prepare to haul away or burn away anything. That means you save on costs. 

Plus, you can typically use forest mulching techniques even in semi-muddy or wet environments. Traditional tree clearing is far more weather-dependent; the soil typically needs to be reasonably dry. 

In areas where there is brush and smaller trees, but nothing too large, forest mowing may also be an option. Forest mowing can clear brush and trees up to 8-inches in diameter. It's perfect for clearing trails or to get rid of invasive species. 

The mulch left behind will nourish woodland areas and promote indigenous growth. That makes forest mowing popular for maintaining trails and parks.

Additional Lot Clearing Services

Outside the standard forestry mulcher services, you may consider brush mulching or hydro ax mulching. 

Brush mulching is what it sounds like. Rather than dealing with large trees, brush mulching mulches, shrubbery, and underbrush. Usually, professionals can do this on-site, just like forestry mulching, making it a one-step process. 

In swampy areas, however, they may need to excavate the brush first. From there, they'll move the brush into a pile in an area the mulcher can run. 

Hydro ax mulching is forestry mulching on a new level. If you've ever seen Bugs Bunny eat a carrot, you can imagine a hydro ax. It eats trees the way the classic rabbit devours root vegetables. 

The hydro ax blades rise to the top of small trees and then work their way straight down, annihilating everything in its path. The blades work from the side for larger trees, hacking at the trunk until the tree falls. Then, a professional team will run the hydro ax over the fallen tree to turn it into mulch. 

If nothing else, a hydro ax is fun to watch! Beyond that, though, this bulldozer-wood chipper combo clears trees fast. It's a highly efficient method to remove trees and brush of all sizes from one area. It's a dangerous piece of equipment, so you'll need to call in the pros.
