Land Clearing (Brush, Trees & Roots) for Any Property Size

Big or Small — We Do It All! Our 2026 Bobcat E55 Excavator and 2025 Bobcat T66 Track Loader clear thick brush, unwanted trees, stumps, and root systems to open residential backyards, driveways, building lots, and commercial acreage.

  • ✓Land Clearing (Brush • Trees • Roots): Full removal of woody growth and underground root balls.
  • ✓Property Cleanup & Debris Hauling: Leave your yard, fence line, or building footprint completely clean.
  • ✓Ready for Excavation & Grading: Seamless transition into foundation digging, backfill, and topsoil/gravel work.

Mulching and grubbing are different jobs. Forestry mulching leaves roots in the ground under a chip bed, which fits trails, fence lines, and pasture. A house pad, driveway, or slab needs those roots out: the excavator grubs them and the debris is hauled so the soil can be compacted. When the lot is staked for a building, clearing hands off to site preparation. Price drivers are on the cost guide.
