Our Work in
Concord
A recent week in Concord: Monday we pruned a massive white oak on Monument Street that was hanging over a 1790s colonial — deadwood removal only, no live cuts, because the Historic Districts Commission was watching. Tuesday we took down two dead white pines on Sudbury Road that were leaning toward power lines, with Conservation Commission approval because they were within 100 feet of the Sudbury River. Wednesday was stump grinding on three old maple stumps in West Concord for a homeowner putting in a garden. Thursday we did a full canopy thinning on an estate property off Lowell Road — four large oaks, all day. Friday, an emergency call for a pine that came down across a driveway near Nine Acre Corner after an overnight storm.

Permits
Concord has a Tree Preservation Bylaw that protects significant trees (10 inches DBH or greater) on private property during development and construction. Removal of public shade trees requires Tree Warden approval and a public hearing under MGL Chapter 87. Work within the Historic Districts requires additional review from the Historic Districts Commission. Contact the Town Manager's office or the Natural Resources Division for specifics.
Permit rules change. Confirm with your municipality. We can help — call (978) 375-2272.

Questions & Answers
How much does lot clearing cost?
Lot clearing costs depend on acreage, tree density, and what you need done. A small residential lot (quarter acre) with brush and small trees typically runs $1,500-$4,000. Larger lots with mature trees are $5,000-$15,000+. We give free estimates after walking the site.
What does lot clearing include?
We remove all trees, stumps, brush, and undergrowth down to bare soil. We can also grind stumps below grade if you're building. Debris is chipped on-site or hauled away. We leave the lot clean and ready for whatever comes next — construction, landscaping, or just an open yard.
Do I need a permit for lot clearing?
It depends on your town and the scope of work. Most Massachusetts towns require permits if you're clearing near wetlands, in a flood zone, or removing public shade trees. Some towns like Lexington have tree bylaws that apply to large-scale clearing. We handle the permit research and filing for every job.
What is the best time of year for lot clearing?
Late fall through early spring is ideal. The ground is firmer (especially after a freeze), there's less undergrowth to deal with, and you can see the full extent of what needs to come down without leaves in the way. But we clear lots year-round.
