Beyond a Single Tree
Brush, small trees, and storm debris across a property — not just one tree.
What Makes This Different
Land clearing isn't a bigger version of tree removal — it's a different job, usually across a defined area rather than around one tree. Daviess County is still a rural county at its edges: a building site that needs the brush cleared before a foundation goes in, a fence line grown over with saplings, a pasture that's losing ground to scrub, or a property that took storm damage across a whole tree line instead of just one tree. Daviess County Tree Co. runs the heavier equipment — skid steer and forestry mulching attachments, not just chainsaws — that this kind of job actually calls for.
Where We Work
Land clearing is available anywhere we do tree removal. See all the areas we serve →
Clearing brush and small trees ahead of a new structure, driveway, or fence line — graded to whatever footprint the project needs.
Reclaiming a pasture edge, a fence line, or a lot that's been left alone for a few seasons and is now thick with saplings and scrub.
When a storm takes down more than one tree across a property — not uncommon in Daviess County — we clear the whole affected area in one pass instead of one tree at a time.
Cost Planning
| Job size | Typical cost range |
|---|---|
| Small area (under ¼ acre, light brush) | $400 – $1,500 |
| Medium area (¼–1 acre, mixed brush/small trees) | $1,500 – $4,500 |
| Larger area (1+ acres, dense growth) | $4,500 – $10,000+ |
Land clearing prices swing more than a single tree removal — density, terrain, tree size mixed into the brush, and whether debris is hauled or mulched on-site all move the number. These ranges are general planning figures, not a quote; every job gets an on-site walk-through and a written estimate before work starts.
Forestry mulching and skid-steer clearing move faster and leave a cleaner finished grade than hand-clearing a defined area tree by tree.
Daviess County's mix of farmland, wooded lots, and heavy clay soil isn't the same everywhere — we walk every job in person before quoting it.
Haul it off, mulch it on-site, or leave usable firewood — we ask what you want done with the material instead of deciding for you.
The same coverage that backs every job we run, scaled to the heavier equipment a clearing job actually uses.
It depends on the size of the job and what the land is zoned for — agricultural clearing is generally more permissive than clearing tied to new construction. We'll flag anything that looks like it needs a city or county check during the estimate rather than assume either way.
Both are options. Mulching on-site is usually the cheaper route and leaves usable ground cover; full haul-away costs more but leaves a completely clean site. We'll price both during the estimate so you can decide.
Tree removal is priced per tree. Land clearing is priced by area and density — how much ground is covered and how thick the growth is — because the equipment and time involved scale with the footprint, not the tree count.
