Land Clearing FAQs
How much does land clearing cost per acre?
Land clearing costs typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 per acre depending on factors like vegetation density, terrain, tree size, accessibility, and disposal requirements. Light brush clearing may cost $1,500-$2,500 per acre, while heavily wooded lots with large trees can cost $3,500-$5,000+ per acre. We provide detailed estimates after site evaluation.
Do I need a permit for land clearing in Peachtree Corners?
Yes, most land clearing projects in Peachtree Corners require permits, especially for lots over 1 acre or when removing trees over 6 inches in diameter. Tree protection ordinances and erosion control regulations apply to most developments. We're familiar with local requirements and can help you navigate the permit process to ensure compliance.
What's the difference between land clearing and lot clearing?
Land clearing typically refers to larger acreage projects for agricultural, commercial, or large-scale development. Lot clearing usually describes smaller residential building sites of 1 acre or less. The methods and equipment are similar, but lot clearing requires more precision to preserve property boundaries and protect neighboring properties. We handle both types of projects.
How long does it take to clear land?
Clearing timelines vary by project size and complexity. A typical residential lot (0.5-1 acre) with moderate vegetation takes 1-3 days. Heavily wooded lots may take 3-5 days. Multi-acre commercial projects can take 1-2 weeks or longer. Weather, permit approval, and debris disposal also affect timelines. We provide realistic schedules during the estimation process.
What happens to trees and debris after clearing?
We offer several options: haul all debris off-site to approved disposal facilities, chip brush and small trees into mulch that can be spread on-site or removed, process logs for firewood or lumber, or burn debris if local regulations permit. Most clients prefer complete removal and disposal for a clean, construction-ready site.
