Our Work in
Lincoln
Lincoln jobs tend to be bigger and more involved. Last month we spent two days on a property off Lincoln Road removing three hazard pines that were leaning over the house — each one over 80 feet, with a 500-foot carry to the chipper because the driveway was too narrow for the truck. Week before that, we did a full assessment of 30+ trees on an estate property near the Codman Estate for a new homeowner who wanted to know what needed attention. We pruned twelve, flagged four for removal, and left the rest alone. That's the kind of thoughtful work Lincoln homeowners expect.

Permits
Lincoln requires Tree Warden approval for public shade tree removal under MGL Chapter 87. Given that over 60% of the town is conservation land, most properties have some portion within the 100-foot wetland buffer zone, requiring Conservation Commission review. The Lincoln Conservation Commission is thorough and expects detailed filings for any tree work near resource areas. Contact the Lincoln Town Offices 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.
