Everything standing comes down
Timber and undergrowth cut and moved to where it can be handled, not left lying across the tract.
Land clearing in Columbia and Marion County, MS
Clear it small or clear it large. Timber, undergrowth and the stumps with it — done with his own equipment, so nothing waits on somebody else's machine.
Land you can walk on, farm, hunt or build on
Land clearing takes the material off. Standing timber comes down, the undergrowth comes out, the stumps and root balls come out with it, and the debris gets pushed up and dealt with.
He had two acres of pines a customer wanted gone. Trees and stumps, all of it, done with his own equipment with no problem. That is the size of thing this is: not a bush hog pass, not a mulcher leaving chips on top, but the ground actually open.
What happens to the wood is worth deciding early. It can be piled, burned where that is allowed, hauled off, or the good timber can be laid out for somebody to come get. It moves the price, so it gets talked about before anything starts.
Timber and brush cleared to open the view to the pond
Same track, same angle, before he started and after he finished.
Clearing an acre: timber down, stumps out, debris handled
Stumps and roots out
Root balls pulled so you are not left with rot and holes under whatever you do next.
Debris handled
Piled, burned where it is allowed, or hauled off. Decided with you up front, because it moves the number.
Cleared ground graded and dressed up for what comes next
Clearing does not end when the last tree is down. The ground gets knocked back smooth so it drains and so you are not walking into ruts and root holes.
If the next thing is a pad, a drive or a pasture, he can carry straight on into the dirt work instead of you hiring that out to somebody else and waiting on their calendar.
Cost per acre, permits, and the trees you want kept
How much does it cost to clear an acre?
It depends almost entirely on what is on it. Light brush moves fast. Mature pine with big root balls is slow. Wet ground, old fence wire and trash all slow a machine down. He would rather walk your acre and give you a real number than quote an average that turns out wrong.
How many acres can you do?
Small or large. Two acres of pines with every stump out is a job he has done and finished with his own equipment.
What happens to the trees you take out?
Piled, burned where that is allowed, hauled off, or laid out if somebody is coming for the timber. Your call, and it changes the price.
Do I need a permit?
That depends on the property, on whether there is any wetland on it, and on whether you plan to burn. It is on the landowner, but if he sees something that looks like it needs a phone call, he will tell you.
Can you clear around trees I want to keep?
Yes. Walk it with him and mark them before anything starts. A tree takes two minutes to take out and cannot be put back.
