Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical land clearing project take?
Timelines vary based on acreage, vegetation density, and site conditions. Small residential projects might be completed in 1-2 days, while larger properties can take a week or more. We provide specific estimates after site assessment.
Can you clear land while preserving specific trees or areas?
Absolutely. We specialize in selective clearing that preserves desired vegetation. During the assessment phase, we'll mark which trees and areas should remain untouched.
What happens to the cleared vegetation?
We manage debris according to best environmental practices, including recycling when possible. Options include hauling away, chipping for mulch, or proper disposal. We'll discuss these options during the consultation. For projects requiring specialized containment or metal equipment modifications, our sister company WestWeld can provide complementary services.
Do I need permits for land clearing?
Permit requirements vary by location and project scope. We can advise on local regulations and, if needed, help guide you through the permitting process to ensure compliance.
