Lot clearing and land clearing
Clearing brush, trees, stumps, and overgrowth for building sites, pasture, driveways, trails, and yards that got away from their owners.
What we handle
- Selective clearing — take the junk trees and buckthorn, keep the good hardwoods
- Full clearing for a building pad or driveway
- Buckthorn and invasive removal, one of the most common calls we get in the metro
- Stump grinding or full stump removal
- Brush chipping on site or hauled off
- Grading and cleanup so the site is ready for the next trade
Pricing
Lot clearing prices by density and access, not by a simple per-acre number. Light brush on an accessible lot may run $1,500 – $4,000 per acre; heavily wooded ground with large-diameter removals and haul-off can run $6,000 – $15,000+ per acre.
What moves the price: stem density and trunk size, whether we can chip on site, haul distance, slope, wetland or shoreland restrictions, and how much stump work you want.
Before we start
We check for protected trees, wetland and shoreland rules, and city ordinances — several metro cities regulate significant-tree removal, and a few require replacement plantings. We will tell you what applies to your parcel before anything comes down.

FAQ
How much does lot clearing cost per acre in Minnesota?
Roughly $1,500 to $4,000 an acre for light brush, and $6,000 to $15,000+ for heavily wooded ground with stumps and haul-off. Density and access drive it.
Can you leave the good trees?
Yes. Selective clearing is most of what we do — remove buckthorn, box elder, and dead stock while protecting the oaks and maples worth keeping.
Do you handle the stumps too?
Yes, we grind or fully remove stumps as part of the clearing, and we can backfill and grade after.
