Land & Lot Clearing

Getting Your Property Ready for What Comes Next

Whether you are planning to build a new home, expand your existing property, or create a beautiful landscape from scratch, land clearing is where every great project begins. Here in La Mirada, we have been helping property owners transform overgrown or wooded lots into clean, usable spaces since 2024. We handle everything from small residential lots to larger commercial properties.

Land clearing is more than just cutting down trees. It is about preparing your property correctly so your next phase goes smoothly. This includes removing trees, brush, stumps, roots, and debris while protecting the areas you want to keep. Our team has the equipment and expertise to clear land efficiently without damaging your soil or creating drainage problems.

What Land Clearing Includes

Every property is different, but most land clearing projects include these key services:

• Tree and brush removal: We cut down and haul away all unwanted vegetation, from small saplings to large mature trees
• Stump grinding: Complete removal of tree stumps below ground level so they do not interfere with construction or landscaping
• Root extraction: Digging out major root systems that could cause problems for foundations or underground utilities
• Brush and debris removal: Clearing undergrowth, vines, dead vegetation, and accumulated organic material
• Grading preparation: Creating a clean slate for grading contractors to establish proper drainage and level building pads
• Selective clearing: Preserving specific trees or features you want to keep while clearing everything else

We coordinate with other contractors to make sure your property is ready exactly when you need it. If you only need trees removed without full land clearing, we offer professional tree removal services as a standalone option.

Why Professional Land Clearing Matters

Some people think they can save money by clearing land themselves or hiring someone with just a chainsaw and a pickup truck. This almost always leads to problems. Improper clearing can damage healthy soil, create erosion issues, leave hazardous materials behind, and cost you more money to fix later.

Our team uses the right equipment for each project. Small lots might only need chainsaws and a chipper, while larger properties require excavators, skid steers, and forestry mulchers. We know which tools to use and how to operate them efficiently without tearing up your property more than necessary.

We also understand local regulations. Some areas have restrictions on tree removal, protected species, or specific clearing methods near waterways. We handle all the necessary permits and make sure your project stays compliant. After clearing, many clients need stump grinding services to finish preparing their lot.

Our Land Clearing Process

We start with a site visit to assess your property and understand your goals. We identify any trees you want to save, locate underground utilities, check for obstacles, and create a clearing plan. We provide a detailed estimate that breaks down what we will do and how long it will take.

During the clearing phase, we work systematically from one side to the other. We cut trees at ground level, remove brush and vegetation, grind stumps, and pile debris for removal or chipping. If you want wood chips for erosion control or mulch, we can leave those on site. Otherwise, we haul everything away and leave you with a clean property.

The final step is a thorough cleanup and inspection. We walk the property with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. At this point, your land is ready for the next phase, whether that is construction, landscaping, or something else.
