Complete removal of trees, brush, stumps, and debris to prepare a raw lot for residential or commercial construction.
Targeted removal of specific trees while preserving others. We work with your builder or site plan to clear only what's needed.
Heavy brush, invasive vegetation, and overgrown undergrowth cleared with forestry mulchers and excavator attachments.
Stumps ground below grade or excavated completely. Ground stumps are backfilled and graded flush with the surrounding area.
All cleared material — logs, brush, stumps, construction debris — is loaded and hauled off-site. We leave a clean lot.
After clearing, the lot is rough-graded to prepare for foundation work, driveway installation, or other site development.
One crew, one phone call. Here’s exactly what to expect when you hire VP Construction.
We walk the property, assess the size and density of vegetation, identify access points, and provide a written estimate.
We check with the municipality on any required tree removal permits or land disturbance permits and handle the paperwork.
Trees are felled directionally, limbed, and either chipped on-site or loaded for haul-away. Brush is mulched or removed.
Stumps and root balls are ground or excavated. The site is grubbed to remove buried organic material that would interfere with construction.
The cleared lot is rough-graded, topsoil is stockpiled if usable, and the site is left construction-ready.

A typical residential lot (half acre to one acre) can be cleared in 1 to 3 days depending on the density of trees and brush. Larger commercial sites take longer and we'll provide a timeline with your estimate.
We can chip brush and smaller trees on-site and spread the mulch if you'd like to keep it. Larger logs are cut and hauled off or can be left for firewood if requested.
Absolutely. We regularly do selective clearing — removing specific trees and brush while leaving mature trees, buffer zones, or other areas intact per your site plan.
It depends on your municipality and the scope of work. Some areas require tree removal permits or earth disturbance permits for lots over a certain size. We check the local requirements and handle the permitting.
Yes. Lot clearing and excavation go hand in hand. We rough-grade the cleared lot so it's ready for the next phase — whether that's a foundation dig, driveway base, or final grading.
