What Land Clearing Includes

- Grinding stumps flush with the ground so the area is buildable or usable immediately
- Hauling debris off-site or chipping for mulch, your preference
Common Reasons Islip Homeowners Clear a Lot
Preparing for a new structure, addition, or pool; reclaiming a backyard that’s grown wild over several seasons; clearing a section for a garden or lawn expansion; or improving sightlines and reducing fire and pest risk near a house. We scope the job based on what you want left standing, not a blanket clear-cut.
Land Clearing Cost
Small residential sections (under a quarter acre) typically run $1,500 to $4,000. Larger lots or denser overgrowth run higher. We quote after walking the property, since density matters more than raw square footage.
