Full-Service Lot Clearing
Land clearing isn't a one-size-fits-all service. Some clients want every tree removed and the ground left bare for grading. Others want select hardwoods preserved while underbrush, pines, and invasive species are removed. We tag and review every tree of consequence with you before a single saw runs. The plan is yours — we execute it.
- ✓Select clearing — preserve specimen trees, remove the rest
- ✓Full clearing for residential or commercial construction
- ✓Brush, vine, and underbrush mulching (privet, kudzu, wisteria, English ivy)
- ✓Stump removal or below-grade grinding
- ✓Burn pile management or full chip-and-haul
- ✓Erosion-control consultation and silt fence coordination
Equipment for the Job
Our fleet includes forestry mulchers that grind 8-inch saplings and underbrush into useful mulch in a single pass, tracked skid steers for selective work in tight spaces, full-size excavators for stump and root-ball removal, and dump trailers for haul-off. We pair the equipment to the job — no charging a homeowner for crane time they don't need.
Permits, Buffers, and Compliance
Greenville County and most Upstate municipalities have stream buffer regulations, tree-protection ordinances on certain commercial sites, and erosion-control requirements (NPDES) on disturbances of one acre or more. We'll help identify what applies to your project, but we don't pull permits — that responsibility stays with the property owner or general contractor. For projects inside the City of Greenville, the tree-protection ordinance has specific rules around hardwoods of certain diameters; we'll review those with you before any cutting begins.
What 'Cleared' Means to Us
When we say a lot is clear, it's grading-ready. That means trees and stumps removed (or ground below grade per spec), brush mulched or hauled off, slash piles burned or removed per the contract, and the surface raked or rough-graded. We're tree clearing pros, not graders or builders — but our work product flows seamlessly into whatever comes next on your project schedule.
Lot Clearing Pricing
Land clearing pricing varies more than any other service we offer. As a rough Upstate benchmark: lightly wooded lots run $3,500–$6,000 per acre; moderately wooded $6,000–$11,000 per acre; densely wooded with mature hardwoods $12,000–$22,000+ per acre. Forestry mulching of underbrush only (no large trees) runs $1,500–$3,500 per acre. Every quote is custom and based on a site walk.
