Lot Clearing Across the Twin Cities Metro

We clear residential and light commercial lots of all conditions — overgrown vacant lots, wooded parcels being prepped for development or construction, back lot areas neglected for years, brush-heavy properties, and parcels where vegetation has overtaken structures or fencing. If you're not sure whether your lot is something we handle, call us — we'll let you know after a quick description or visit.

It depends on the municipality, the lot size, what's being removed, and whether the lot is near regulated areas like wetlands or shoreline. Many standard residential lot clearings don't require a separate permit. We review the specific requirements for your parcel and advise before we start.

Yes. Stump grinding is available as a standalone service or as part of lot clearing. We grind stumps below grade — typically 6 to 12 inches below surface — and the remaining wood chips break down naturally over time. If you want the chips hauled away, we can do that too.

Timeline depends on lot size, vegetation density, and whether stump grinding is included. A typical residential overgrown lot takes one to two days. Larger or more heavily wooded lots may require additional time. We give you a specific timeline in the written estimate after the site assessment.

All brush and tree material is chipped on-site. We remove the chips and haul them away by default. If you'd like the wood chips left on the property as a ground cover or mulch layer, we can arrange that instead. Stumps are ground in place; the ground chips in the hole break down naturally.

Lots adjacent to wetlands or water bodies in Minnesota fall under state and local shoreland/wetland regulations that restrict removal within certain buffer distances. We identify these regulated areas early in the process, work within required setbacks, and advise on any permits or notifications that may be required before we proceed.
