Questions
Straight answers.
Do you clear small residential lots or just big jobs?
Both. We size the equipment to the job — from opening up a view line or clearing a house site to multi-acre commercial clearing.
What happens to the stumps and debris?
We haul it. Clearing includes stump removal and debris off-site, so you are left with workable ground, not a burn pile.
Can you handle the excavation for my builder?
Yes — we work alongside builders and GCs regularly, handling clearing, dig-out, trenching and final grade so the schedule keeps moving.
How much does land clearing cost in Maine?
A typical residential lot clear in Greater Portland runs $2,500–$10,000 depending on acreage, tree size, stumps and access. We walk the property and price by what has to come out, not by a per-acre guess from the road.
Do you work year-round?
Site work runs whenever the ground will take equipment. Frozen ground can actually help on wet lots; mud season is when we pause. We will be honest about the window when we quote.
