From Raw Timber to Build-Ready
- 1
Site Walk & Marking
We walk the lot with you, mark the build footprint, driveway, and leach field, and flag the healthy trees you want to keep as a buffer.
- 2
Selective Tree Removal
Only the trees inside the work lines come down. Merchantable logs are bucked to length; the rest is processed for firewood or chip stock.
- 3
Brush & Understory Clearing
Heavy brush, volunteer saplings, and downed wood are cleared so the ground is open and walkable for the next step.

Stump Grinding & Grubbing
Stumps in the build and drive footprint are ground out below grade so they don't interfere with foundation, grading, or paving.
- 5
Haul-Off & Chipping
Brush is chipped and hauled; firewood-grade wood is bucked and donated to local families. The site is left clean and build-ready.
Lot Clearing, Common Questions
Does lot clearing include stump removal?+
Stumps inside the build footprint and driveway are ground below grade so they won't interfere with grading or paving. Stumps outside the work area can be left or removed, we price it to match what your site needs.
Can you clear around trees I want to keep?+
Yes, that's the whole point of selective clearing. We mark the trees to preserve as a buffer and take only what's inside the work lines, protecting the root zones of the trees you keep.
What do you do with the cleared wood and brush?+
Brush is chipped or hauled, and firewood-grade wood is processed and donated to local families in need. We don't leave debris piles that smolder for months.
Do you handle clearing for driveways and firebreaks?+
Yes. We clear driveways, access trails, and defensible-space firebreaks, taking the trees and brush in the path while keeping the surrounding stand intact.
