Frequently Asked Questions

Our land clearing services include: tree and brush removal, stump grinding, debris hauling, site preparation, and grading when needed. We handle projects from small lot clearing to multi-acre development sites. We can also provide fire mitigation clearing to create defensible space around structures.

Permit requirements vary by location and project scope. Many municipalities require permits for clearing over a certain area or removing trees above a specific size. We research permit requirements for your project and can assist with applications as part of our service.

Land clearing costs vary significantly based on vegetation density, tree sizes, terrain, and access. Lightly wooded lots may range from $1,500-$3,000 per acre, while densely forested areas can be $3,000-$6,000+ per acre. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed pricing for your specific property.

Options include: chipping for mulch (which can remain on-site or be hauled away), hauling to green waste facilities, or burning when permitted and appropriate. We discuss debris management options during your estimate and handle all disposal responsibly.

Yes, we specialize in creating defensible space around homes and structures in fire-prone areas. This includes removing dead vegetation, thinning trees, creating proper spacing between remaining trees, and clearing brush within the required defensible space zones. We follow California fire safety guidelines.

Timeline depends on acreage, vegetation density, and project complexity. A typical residential lot (0.25-0.5 acres) can often be cleared in 1-3 days. Larger or more densely vegetated properties take longer. We provide timeline estimates during your consultation.

Angi Review

"Brad was great to work with and extremely knowledgeable. He was very professional and even coordinated with my neighbor since the tree hung over into their yard. Showed up on time and did a great job cleaning up. Highly recommend for your tree service needs."

Angi Review

"Brad is the owner of this business and my primary contact for the project. The guy knows trees. We lost 4 trees to the drought, and he pretty much pegged exactly what had happened to them just by looking at them. Would highly recommend Brad and his crew and would hire them again in a heartbeat."
