FAQ & Addons.
Add-On Services

These are optional services that can be added to any clearing project. Not included in base pricing unless specified.

What Affects Your Price
No two properties are the same. These are the factors that move your price up or down within the ranges above.
Acreage
More acres means a lower per-acre rate. Under 1 acre has a minimum project cost. Over 20 acres gets the best volume pricing.
Brush Density
Light grass and saplings clear fast. Dense cedar thickets with 6-inch trunks take three times longer per acre. Density is the single biggest cost driver.
Terrain and Slope
Flat ground clears quickly. Steep hillsides, ravines, and rocky outcrops require slower, more careful equipment operation and add 20-40% to the cost.
Access
If we can drive the equipment straight to the work area, that saves time. If we need to cut an access path or navigate narrow gates, it adds to the job.
Soil Type
Sandy loam is easy on equipment. Heavy clay gets soft after rain and can delay work. Limestone outcrops near the surface affect root systems and mulching speed.
Stump Removal
Standard clearing mulches everything above ground. If you need stumps ground below grade for construction or mowing, that is an add-on.
