Clear the Lot, Start the Build

What's included in lot clearing?
A full lot clearing from River City Tree Care includes all tree removal, brush and undergrowth clearing, stump grinding below grade, and complete debris haul-away. When we leave, the lot is clean and level enough for a grading contractor to start work. Usable timber can be kept for firewood or milled through our sawmill service if you prefer.
How Lot Clearing Works
Step 1 — Site walk. We walk the property together, mark the clearing boundaries, and assess the scope. You get a written estimate the same day.
Step 2 — Tree and brush removal. Our crew cuts and removes all trees, saplings, and undergrowth within the clearing zone. Larger trees are felled directionally or rigged for tight spaces.
Step 3 — Stump grinding. Every stump is ground 6–12 inches below grade so the lot is level and buildable.
Step 4 — Debris haul-away. All brush, wood, and debris are loaded and hauled off-site. The lot is left clean and grading-ready.
For heavily wooded acreage, we may recommend forestry mulching as a faster, lower-impact alternative — especially for properties where the mulch layer can stay on-site.

Equipment for the Job
Lot clearing isn't chainsaw-only work. River City Tree Care brings the equipment a job actually requires — chainsaws, stump grinders, chippers, skid steers, and hauling trailers. We match the equipment to the job size so clearing moves fast and the lot is left in usable condition.
For large acreage or steep terrain, we use forestry mulching equipment that processes trees, brush, and saplings in a single pass — leaving nutrient-rich mulch on the ground instead of hauling debris off-site. This is often faster and more cost-effective for properties over an acre.
