Our Work in
Wayland
A stretch of work that puts us in Wayland: a dead white pine leaning toward a house off Old Connecticut Path, a hazard oak near Dudley Pond that needed careful rigging, deadwood pruning on heritage maples at a property near Wayland Center, and a Conservation Commission-permitted silver maple removal inside the Sudbury River buffer. We bundle Wayland jobs with our Sudbury and Lincoln work so the drive from Billerica makes sense.

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 marked for removal, grind every stump below grade if you're building, chip and haul all the brush, and leave you with clean, workable ground. Whether you're putting in a foundation, a driveway, or an open yard, everything from first cut to final rake is included in the quote.
Can you selectively clear, keeping some trees?
That's actually most of our lot clearing jobs. Most homeowners want to keep a few oaks or maples for shade and character. We walk the lot with you, flag what stays with ribbon, and everything else comes out. We take the same care around trees you're keeping as we do around your house — no driving over the root flare, no nicking the bark.
What happens to the trees, cordwood, and saleable hardwood?
Brush and small material get chipped on-site — you can keep the chips for mulch or we haul them away. Cordwood you want stays on the property. For large oak, maple, or cherry, ask before we chip it — sometimes the standing tree is worth more at a local mill than as wood chips. That decision is yours, and we tell you before the saw starts.
