Lot & Land Clearing Services in Charlotte, NC
Clear trees, brush, and stumps and haul it all off with grapple trucks — turnkey site prep for builders, developers, and homeowners.
Professional Lot & Land Clearing You Can Rely On
Clearing land is where our grapple fleet really earns its keep. New-home lots, commercial pads, expanded yards, and overgrown acreage all produce enormous volumes of timber, brush, and stumps — the kind of material that stalls a project when it has nowhere to go. We fell, cut, grind, and haul in one coordinated operation, so your site is graded-ready instead of buried under debris.
Across Mecklenburg and Union counties, developers convert wooded parcels and old farm fields into subdivisions, and homeowners reclaim overgrown back lots. Our crews handle selective clearing that saves the trees you want and removes the rest, or full clearing down to a clean pad. Because we own the grapple trucks, the wood waste leaves the same day it comes down — no dumpster juggling, no waiting on a separate hauler.

What Our Lot & Land Clearing Includes
Site walk & clearing plan
We mark keep trees, property lines, and easements, check for utilities, and plan equipment access and debris staging before anything falls.
Selective or full clearing
Save specimen trees and remove the rest, or clear down to a graded pad — your call, planned to protect the trees that stay.
Felling & sectioning
Timber is felled and cut to loadable lengths in a sequence that keeps the site safe and the grapple loader productive.
Stump grinding or removal
Stumps are ground below grade or fully excavated where the build requires it.
Same-day grapple haul-off
Logs, brush, and chips leave by the truckload to approved disposal and recycling — no dumpster juggling.
Grade-ready finish
The cleared area is raked and cleaned so it’s ready for grading, building, or seeding on schedule.

Lot & Land Clearing Questions
Yes. We scale the crew and equipment to the job — from reclaiming an overgrown backyard to prepping multi-acre development pads across Mecklenburg and Union counties. Call (855) 615-0568 with your parcel details for an estimate.
Absolutely. Selective clearing is common — we flag and protect the specimen trees you want to keep and remove only the rest, taking care to avoid root and trunk damage to the trees that remain.
Our grapple trucks haul it off to approved disposal or recycling facilities, typically the same day it comes down. That is a major advantage over dumpster rental, which caps volume and leaves loading to you.
It depends on size, tree density, and access, but our grapple fleet is what makes it fast — material leaves the site the same day it comes down instead of waiting on dumpsters or a separate hauler. A typical residential back lot is often a day or two; multi-acre pads are scheduled by the parcel.
We flag property lines, easements, and trees to save, and we help you understand when grading, tree-save areas, or NC811 utility locates apply. For development work we coordinate with your site plan; confirm erosion-control and stormwater requirements with your engineer or the local jurisdiction before we mobilize.
