Land Clearing Near Me
Clearing land is priced by the acre or by the hour, and the price depends on what is growing there, what happens to it, and whether you are building on it. The 1,355 companies below, across 18 states, list land clearing, lot clearing, brush clearing or forestry mulching on their Google profiles. Compare their reviews, methods and equipment before you ask for a price per acre. A dozer pushes trees and stumps into piles to burn or haul; a forestry mulcher grinds brush and small trees in place and leaves the ground covered. If a house is going on the lot, stumps, roots and the mulch layer have to come out first, so say so when you ask for quotes. Land clearing books up fastest in September and March.
