Questions
Land Clearing FAQ
Straight answers to what people actually ask. If yours isn't here, call and ask.
Ask Us DirectlyIt depends far more on what is on the ground than on the acreage. Light brush and small saplings might run $1,500–$3,000 per acre. Mature hardwood with large stumps on steep ground can run $6,000–$12,000 per acre or more. Slope, access, rock, disposal method, and whether stumps must come out all move the number significantly. We quote per site after walking it, not per acre off a map.
For most private residential clearing, no state permit is required. You will likely need one if the work disturbs an acre or more (triggering stormwater permitting), touches a stream or wetland, or falls inside a floodplain. County and municipal rules vary. We flag what your specific site is likely to need during the site visit, though you should confirm with your county — permitting responsibility rests with the property owner.
Four options, usually in combination: merchantable timber sold or left for you, brush chipped into usable mulch, burning where a permit allows, and hauling to an approved facility. Burying on site in a designated spoil area is sometimes possible on larger tracts. We price the disposal method explicitly so you can see what it is costing.
Grinding is cheaper and fine for pasture or lawn. If you intend to build, pave, or install utilities over that ground, the stump needs to come out entirely — a ground stump leaves the root ball to decay in place, and the resulting voids cause settlement under slabs and roadbeds years later.
