Land & Lot Clearing

Clear Your Land for Your Next Project

Whether you are planning to build a new home, expand your property, or create open space, land clearing is the essential first step. At ClearCanopy Mankato Tree Service, we provide comprehensive land and lot clearing services throughout Mankato and the surrounding areas. We remove trees, brush, stumps, and vegetation to prepare your property for construction, landscaping, or agricultural use. Our team works efficiently to transform overgrown or wooded lots into clean, usable space.

Land clearing is more involved than just cutting down trees. It requires proper planning, the right equipment, and an understanding of environmental regulations. We handle every aspect of the clearing process, from initial assessment and permitting guidance to final grading and debris removal. We work with residential property owners, commercial developers, builders, and contractors to deliver cleared land that is ready for your project.

Our Land Clearing Services

We offer complete land clearing solutions tailored to your specific needs. No project is too big or too small. Here is what we can do for you:

• Residential lot clearing for new home construction
• Commercial land clearing for business development
• Selective clearing to preserve desirable trees and features
• Complete vegetation removal including trees, brush, and undergrowth
• Stump grinding and root removal for clean sites
• Brush hauling and debris disposal
• Land grading and site preparation for construction
• Creating firebreaks and defensible space around structures

We customize our approach based on your goals and timeline. If you want to preserve certain trees or features, we can work around them. If you need complete clearing, we remove everything down to bare ground. We also coordinate with excavation contractors if additional grading or earth moving is needed. After clearing, we can handle stump removal and debris hauling, leaving your site clean and ready for the next phase of your project.

Why Professional Land Clearing Matters

Some property owners consider clearing land themselves to save money. But professional land clearing actually saves you time, prevents problems, and often costs less than you might think when you factor in equipment rental, disposal fees, and the value of your time.

We have the right equipment for efficient clearing. Our machinery includes excavators, skid steers, forestry mulchers, and heavy-duty wood chippers. These machines can clear in hours what would take weeks by hand. We also understand how to work safely around property lines, utilities, wetlands, and protected areas.

Environmental regulations matter too. Many areas have rules about tree removal, erosion control, and wetland protection. We help you understand these regulations and stay compliant. We can advise you on permitting requirements and recommend erosion control measures if your property is sloped or near waterways. If you need individual tree removal rather than full clearing, we can handle that as well.

Our Land Clearing Process

We start every land clearing project with a thorough site assessment. We walk the property with you, discuss your goals, identify any challenges, and develop a clearing plan. We mark property boundaries, locate utilities, note any trees or features you want to preserve, and assess access for equipment.

Once planning is complete and any necessary permits are obtained, we bring in our equipment and begin clearing. We typically start by removing trees, cutting them down safely and processing them into manageable pieces. Next, we clear brush and undergrowth. We grind stumps below ground level so they will not interfere with construction or landscaping. We pile debris for removal or chipping, depending on your preferences and local regulations.

Throughout the process, we protect the surrounding area and control dust. We are mindful of neighboring properties and work to minimize noise and disruption. When clearing is complete, we remove all debris and leave your site clean. If you need additional grading or site work, we can coordinate with excavation contractors or recommend trusted partners.
