Land Clearing That Leaves You a Usable Lot

Whether it's a building lot buried in saplings or forty acres you want opened up, we clear land in Sullivan County the right way: with the right equipment, one crew, and a plan for every log and every stump.

What our land clearing includes

Every property is different, so every job starts with a walk-through. From there, we'll tell you exactly what's coming out, what's staying, and where it all goes. A typical clearing project covers:

  • Removal of brush, saplings, vines and understory growth
  • Felling and removal of trees of any size, including hazardous or leaning trees
  • Stump removal or grinding so the ground is ready to grade
  • Hauling of logs and debris — or chipping on site if you prefer to keep the mulch
  • Rough grading so the site is level, dry and ready for the next step

Selective vs. full clearing

Not every lot needs to be scraped bare. We regularly do selective clearing — opening a view, thinning a wood lot, keeping a screen of mature trees along a property line — and full clearing for construction pads, driveways and pasture. Tell us what you're picturing and we'll build the plan around it.

Why hire a local land clearing contractor

Catskills terrain is rocky, wet in the low spots and steep in the high ones. Knowing where the ledge is, which draws stay soggy in spring, and how the DEC treats streams and wetlands is the difference between a clean job and an expensive surprise. We're based in Harris and we've cleared land all over Sullivan County for years.

Land Clearing FAQ

How much does land clearing cost per acre?

It depends on how dense the growth is, tree size, terrain, access and what you want done with the wood. Light brush and saplings cost far less than mature timber with stumps. We'll walk the property with you and give you a firm written number — no surprises.

Do I need a permit to clear land in Sullivan County?

Often not for clearing itself, but work near streams, wetlands or steep slopes can trigger NYS DEC or local requirements, and building lots have their own approvals. We'll flag anything that needs a permit before we start.

What happens to the trees and stumps?

Your choice. Logs can be hauled off, stacked for firewood, or sold as timber where it makes sense. Stumps are ground or pulled and hauled. Brush is chipped or removed.
