Common Questions

Can you clear just part of my lot?+

Absolutely. Selective clearing is one of our specialties. We'll flag trees to keep and clear only what you need for your project while maintaining the natural character of your property.

Do I need a permit to clear my lot?+

Permit requirements vary by county and municipality. We recommend checking with your local planning office. We can work around any restrictions or protected areas.

What happens to all the wood and brush?+

Brush is chipped on-site and can be spread as mulch or hauled away. Firewood-quality logs can be cut and stacked for your use, or we can haul everything off.
