From clean ups to full lot clearings our crew is equipped to perform any level of tree work. If you have a large tree close to your house we can safely remove the tree and the stump all in the same day. After the trees are cut down we remove all logs, branches and debris and leave no trace. We own and operate a full sawmill, Woodstock Beam Works, where we can take a log, mill it into lumber, kiln dry it and custom build tables, bar tops etc. We put safety and the environment first. We are a Green company and we respect your property and the safety of all involved.
"I scheduled an appointment for an estimate, only to be told an hour before that he wasn’t able to come. I agreed to reschedule, but then—out of nowhere—he texted just five minutes before our original appointment and showed up without confirm with us that the time still worked, despite having already canceled. It was inconvenient and unprofessional, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and moved forward with scheduling the actual stump removal. On the day of the job, at the exact time they were scheduled to arrive, I got a last-minute text saying they couldn’t come due to rain. Weather is something that can be checked ahead of time—this should have been communicated the day before, not at the moment they were supposed to start. Because of their lack of professionalism, I had to reschedule other contractors who were lined up to follow their work, creating a domino effect of delays. After reading reviews, it turns out this is a common issue with this company. If reliability matters to you, I’d recommend looking elsewhere—showing up is step one in being a professional contractor, and unfortunately, they don’t seem to have that down."

Building site preparation and clearings FAQs
A professional team can clear an acre of land in as little as two to twelve hours, depending on your land's condition. You'll need to consider factors like vegetation density, terrain features, and obstacles such as trees, stumps, rocks, or existing structures can increase the time required. If your land is heavily wooded or has uneven terrain, expect the process to take longer and require more effort.
If you're looking to clear land for a pasture, expect to pay between $400 and $600 per acre for forestry mulching or $500 to $5,600 per acre for conventional land clearing. When choosing a method, consider:
Forestry Mulching: Leaves organic material in the soil, promoting new ground cover growth.
Conventional Clearing: You might lose valuable topsoil during this process.
A land-clearing project typically involves several key steps to prepare your property for construction or landscaping. First, assess your land and obtain any necessary permits from your local building department. Then, professionals use specialized equipment to remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. After clearing, they haul away debris and may perform grading to level the land, ensuring it's ready for your intended use.
Preparing land to build a house typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on your land's size and condition. This includes clearing space for the foundation, which may involve removing trees, stumps, brush, and leveling or grading the site. Don't forget to budget for additional costs like permits, fees, and installing utility connections such as gas lines, water lines, and sewer mains.
