Lot clearing will vary depending on a number of factors. We can come to your property to provide you with an accurate quote for your specific project. We’ll take a look at the size of the property, the accessibility, the grading needs, the amount of trees on site, and the amount of debris that will need to be removed — among other factors. Reach out to us today if you’d like to learn more about our pricing structure and if you’d like to get a quote for your project.

Permit requirements vary location by location. Here in the state of Michigan, you may be required to obtain a permit for your lot clearing project, depending on the risk of erosion, the number of trees being displaced, and whether or not your property is considered a wetlands area — among other factors. If you’d like to take a look at an overview of some of the permit requirements that must be fulfilled for lot clearing on Michigan property, you can check out the Land Clearing Management document from Michigan’s Department of Environmental Quality.

Can I keep the wood from my property?

We strive not to leave too many wood chips if you’re planning on planting grass, so that your soil remains ideal for seed or sod. You may want to check the pH and nutrient balances of your soil before you plant, and you may need to add a topsoil to ensure that your grass takes hold of the soil on your recently cleared property.
