Land & Lot Clearing
Clearing land in central Maine is its own kind of work. You are dealing with mixed hardwood and softwood, stone walls, wet spots, and brush that has had decades to take over. Maybe you are opening up a building lot, taking back overgrown acreage, clearing a fence line, or widening a camp driveway. Either way, we take the trees, brush, and stumps down together and haul it all out in one job instead of piecemeal.
What we clear
Building lots and house sites, overgrown back acreage, fence and boundary lines, driveways and camp roads, and view lines down to the water. We match the approach to the job. Selective clearing when you want to keep the good trees, or full clearing when you are starting from scratch.
What to expect
- Step 1
Walk the property and mark it out
We flag what stays and what goes, note wet areas and stone walls, and plan how material leaves the site.
- Step 2
Take down trees and brush
Trees come down, brush gets cut, and everything is moved to a staging area for processing.
- Step 3
Grind stumps or pull them
Depending on what you are building, we grind stumps flush or remove them entirely.
- Step 4
Chip, haul, or pile
Material gets chipped on site, hauled away, or stacked for firewood, whatever fits your plan and budget.

Land & Lot Clearing: common questions
How much does land clearing cost in Maine?
It varies a lot with acreage, how dense and large the trees are, terrain, and how you want the material handled. A light brush-and-small-tree clearing is far cheaper than a heavily wooded acre with big stumps to pull. We give free on-site estimates. Call (207) 707-3495 and we will walk the lot with you.
Do you remove the stumps too?
Yes. We can grind them flush or pull them out completely depending on what you are putting in, whether that is lawn, garden, a foundation, or a driveway. Tell us the end goal and we will clear it to match.
Can you clear just part of a lot or keep certain trees?
Absolutely. Selective clearing is something we do all the time. We flag the trees you want to keep for shade or screening and clear around them, or open up a view line while leaving the rest of the woods intact.
