Frequently Asked Questions

What factors affect the cost of clearing my lot?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, how dense the trees and undergrowth are, trunk diameter, whether stumps must be ground or fully removed, slope and soil conditions, haul-off distance for debris, and whether structures, concrete, or old septic components need demolition. Access matters too — tight lots may require smaller equipment and more hours.

How long does site clearing and preparation usually take?

A typical residential lot often takes a few days once equipment is on site. Larger parcels, heavy tree cover, demolition work, or extensive grading and soil stabilization can extend the schedule to a week or more. Weather, wet ground, and permit or inspection timing also influence the calendar, so we give you a realistic window after the site assessment.

Do I need permits before you start clearing?

Often yes. Auburn Hills and Oakland County may require permits for tree removal, demolition, soil erosion and sedimentation control, or work near wetlands and drains. During your site assessment we identify what applies to your parcel and coordinate the required documentation and inspections so clearing does not get halted partway through.

What happens to the trees, stumps, and debris you remove?

Usable wood can be chipped or left on site if you want mulch or firewood. Remaining brush, stumps, and non-recyclable material is hauled away and disposed of properly, with concrete, metal, and clean wood diverted for recycling where possible. Site clean-up is part of the work, so you're left with a tidy, workable surface.

Will you mark utilities before digging?

Yes. MISS DIG 811 must be notified before any excavation in Michigan, and we handle that request as part of scheduling. Public utility lines get marked by the providers. Private lines — irrigation, invisible fence, well lines, propane runs, septic fields, or a buried electrical feed to a shed — aren't covered, so please point those out to us.

Is grading included, or is that separate from clearing?

We can do both. Clearing removes vegetation, debris, and structures; grading then shapes the ground to the elevations and drainage your builder or engineer specifies. Some homeowners only need rough clearing at this stage. Tell us what comes next in your project, and we'll scope the work so the site is ready for your foundation crew.
