Land can be cleared by hand, with machinery, or using a combination of the two. If the land has never been settled it likely doesn’t have any underground utility lines, plumbing, or other conduit that could be damaged. This eliminates the need for hand clearing the land, so using heavy equipment can help expedite the process.

Land & Lot Clearing FAQs
Your questions about clearing land answered.
How much does it cost to clear ½ acre of land?
The cost to clear half an acre of land varies tremendously depending on the density of foliage and brush and whether the cost to process and chip the debris is included. You can expect to pay between $500-$3000 to clear a half-acre in Texas but don’t forget to ask if the cost to chip, grind, and haul away the debris is included in the quote.
Land clearing, like tree service in general, is the most dangerous occupation in the United States. According to US Bureau of Labor and Statistics workers in the tree service industry when compared to all other industries have a 15% higher fatality rate. That is why hiring a reputable company that carries insurance and subscribes to workers’ compensation is important to protect your from legal liability should an injury occur.
When we give quotes to clear several acres of land, we give a quote that is accurate to the best of our abilities before we break ground. However, if there are complications or delays that require extra worker, time, and equipment we will bill the hours as needed to cover our costs to provide service to you. We generally charge by the day, but rates vary depending on the terrain, ease of access, and demand.
We use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to “see” below the earth’s surface and check for any obstructions or pipes before beginning to clear land. Even if the ground looks untouched to the naked eye, dangerous gas or power lines could be lurking beneath the surface, posing a safety and productivity risk to workers and surrounding properties if disturbed.
Yes you should absolutely err on the side of caution and call 311 before starting any land clearing projects to prepare your property for development. If necessary you may need to hire a daylighting company to come out and expose any pipes, plumbing lines, sewer mains, etc.
