"I hired this outstanding excavation contractor to clear 5 acres of raw land, develop a roadway, install a culvert and driveway, and create a wildlife trail — and I can’t recommend them enough. From day one, they treated my vision with care, patiently walking the property, listening closely, and offering smart, practical advice on every phase. They didn’t just follow instructions — they improved them, suggesting optimal grading, drainage, and trail routing to preserve nature while building function. Tree clearing was done methodically, respecting the land’s contours. The roadway is solid, accessible, and thoughtfully routed. The culvert and driveway were installed with precision, ensuring long-term durability and proper water flow. The wildlife trail was crafted with intention — preserving canopy, avoiding erosion, and blending into the woods. It’s not just a path , it’s a habitat. I’m thrilled they’ll return to help dig a pond, a centerpiece I know they’ll execute with precisio"

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

This is fairly rare, but sometimes the local government or a group like a historical society will label a tree as a landmark, or historical item. These designations almost always come with a small, on-site plaque for identification, but you should also be able to look up protected trees in your area on a city website or similar list. If the tree in question is a landmark, call your local government and ask how to proceed before making any plans.

Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.

Permit requirements to clear land vary by municipality, so whether or not you need permits depends on where you live and what you’re removing from the land. Some building departments will require permits for any underground work or excavation, meaning grinding down tree stumps on your property would require permits. Others mandate individual permits for each tree you remove. You can contact your local building department or a land-clearing specialist near you to see if permits are necessary for your job.

Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:

  • Planning for construction projects, like building a fence

  • Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures

  • Settling property line disputes 

  • Creating subdivisions 

  • Meeting mortgage requirements

  • Selling your property
