Land & Lot Clearing

Professional Land Clearing in Delano

Whether you are preparing a lot for new construction, clearing overgrown property for landscaping, or converting land for agricultural use, proper land clearing is the essential first step. At ArborStone Delano Tree Service, we provide complete land and lot clearing services throughout Delano and the surrounding Central Valley. We handle projects of all sizes from small residential lots to large commercial properties.

Land clearing involves more than just cutting down trees. It includes removing brush, stumps, roots, and debris, grading the land if needed, and leaving the property clean and ready for the next phase of your project. Our experienced crew has the heavy equipment and expertise to clear land efficiently while minimizing environmental impact and protecting adjacent properties.

We work with homeowners, builders, developers, farmers, and property managers to prepare land for homes, commercial buildings, roads, parking lots, gardens, orchards, vineyards, and more. Whatever your land clearing needs, we have the equipment and experience to get the job done right.

Our Land Clearing Services

We offer comprehensive land clearing services tailored to your specific needs and timeline. Here is what we can do:

• Tree and brush removal: We remove trees of all sizes, dense brush, shrubs, and undergrowth using chainsaws, mulchers, and other specialized equipment.
• Stump grinding and removal: After trees are removed, we grind stumps below ground level so they do not interfere with construction or landscaping. Our stump grinding services leave your land smooth and ready to build on.
• Root removal: We excavate and remove large root systems that could interfere with foundations, utilities, or grading.
• Debris removal and disposal: We haul away all cleared vegetation, logs, and debris, or chip it on-site if you prefer to use it as mulch.
• Brush mulching: For large areas with dense brush and small trees, we use mulching equipment to grind vegetation directly into the soil, enriching it and preventing erosion.
• Selective clearing: If you want to preserve certain trees or features, we can selectively clear around them while removing unwanted vegetation.
• Site grading and leveling: After clearing, we can grade the land to create a level building pad or proper drainage.
• Erosion control: We implement erosion control measures including silt fencing, mulch, and seeding to protect cleared land from water damage.

Our Land Clearing Process

Every land clearing project is unique, but we follow a systematic process to ensure efficient, thorough work:

Step 1: Site Assessment and Planning

We visit your property to assess the scope of work, identify trees and vegetation to be removed, check for underground utilities, and evaluate site access. We discuss your goals and timeline, then provide a detailed estimate and clearing plan. If permits are required, we help you navigate that process.

Step 2: Site Preparation

Before clearing begins, we mark property boundaries, flag trees or features to be preserved, and install erosion control measures if needed. We coordinate with utility companies to locate and mark underground lines. We establish equipment access routes and staging areas for debris.

Step 3: Clearing and Removal

Our crew removes trees, brush, and vegetation according to the plan. We use professional tree removal techniques and heavy equipment to work efficiently. Material is either chipped, hauled away, or piled for burning if local regulations allow and you request it.

Step 4: Stump Removal and Finish Work

After trees and brush are removed, we grind all stumps and remove roots as needed. We rake and level the cleared area, address any erosion concerns, and complete any grading work included in your project. We walk through the completed work with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.
