Frequently Asked Questions About Land Clearing
What’s included in your land clearing services?
Our land clearing services include complete removal of trees, brush, stumps, and unwanted vegetation to prepare your property for development. This process also includes grading, erosion control, and debris removal to ensure the land is stable and ready for construction or landscaping. If necessary, we also manage selective clearing to preserve certain trees or landscape features.
Are permits required for tree or brush removal?
In many cases, permits are required for tree removal, especially for larger projects or if protected species are involved. Local regulations in Puyallup, WA, and the South Puget Sound can vary, so we work with the home owner to obtain all necessary permitting to keep your project compliant and avoid delays.
What happens to the debris after land clearing?
All debris from our land clearing services is either hauled away, mulched, or chipped for eco-friendly disposal. We handle all logistics, ensuring that your property is left clean, safe, and ready for the next phase of development. If requested, mulch from cleared brush can be left onsite for erosion control or landscaping.
How do you prevent erosion after clearing?
To prevent erosion, we use strategic grading techniques, silt fencing, and erosion control blankets where needed. Our team ensures proper drainage patterns are established to prevent soil runoff and maintain land stability, especially in areas prone to heavy rain. Erosion control may or may not be included in your project scope.
Can you handle large trees and stumps during clearing?
Absolutely. Our team is equipped with heavy-duty machinery capable of removing large trees and stumps safely and efficiently. We have the capability to grind or haul away stumps to prevent regrowth and clear the land entirely for future use.
How long does a typical land clearing project take?
The timeline for land clearing services depends on the size and density of the area. Most residential projects are completed within 1–2 weeks, while larger commercial or municipal projects may take up to a week or more. We provide clear project timelines during your initial consultation.
How is land clearing priced, and do you provide estimates?
Land clearing costs are based on acreage, the density of trees and brush, site accessibility, and debris disposal requirements. We provide detailed, transparent estimates that outline the entire scope of work, so there are no surprises.
Can you selectively clear specific trees or areas?
Yes, we offer selective brush clearing services that allow you to choose which trees or sections of land are cleared. This is ideal for property owners looking to preserve certain trees while still preparing the site for development.
Are there restrictions on clearing during certain seasons?
There are no seasonal restrictions in South Puget Sound or Puyallup.
What equipment do you use for land clearing?
We use state-of-the-art equipment, including excavators, mulchers, skid steers, brush cutters, and stump grinders. This allows us to clear large areas efficiently while maintaining a clean and safe job site.
Do you restore the site after clearing is complete?
Yes, we can perform site restoration services after land clearing, which includes grading, erosion control, soil amendments and debris removal. If requested, we can also spread topsoil or mulch to stabilize the land and prepare it for future development. This will be a separate scope itemized on our quote and is optional.
Can you clear near wetlands or protected areas?
Yes, we are experienced in working near wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas. The permitting process greatly aids in protecting wetlands. Our team follows all local and federal guidelines, using best practices to minimize environmental impact and ensure legal compliance.
What measures are taken to prevent regrowth after clearing?
We do not prevent regrowth by any means other than completely removing the stumps and digging out roots
