We use professional-grade equipment to quickly turn tangled brush into usable space. We don't just clear the surface; we ensure the area is prepped for whatever comes next.
Overgrown land isn't just an eyesore; it can harbor pests, invasive species, and fire hazards. Our clearing process restores the value and safety of your investment.
Clearing properties for progress in:
During land clearing, we typically cut brush and small trees flush to the ground. Stump grinding or full stump extraction can be added to the project if you plan to build or plant grass immediately.
Buckthorn is an invasive shrub that chokes out native plants and creates dense, impassable thickets. We use specific methods to clear it and can advise on treatments to prevent it from returning.
We take great care to mark and protect specimen trees. We use equipment that minimizes soil compaction to protect the root zones of the trees you want to keep.
Costs are based on the density of the vegetation, the acreage, and how much debris needs to be hauled away. We provide free on-site estimates for all clearing projects.
Permit requirements vary by city (Chanhassen, Minnetonka, etc.) and the proximity to wetlands or Lake Minnetonka. Generally, clearing invasive brush doesn't require a permit, but removing significant trees or disturbing more than a certain square footage of soil might. We can help you navigate local ordinances during our initial site visit.
