Sites Cleared and Ready for What Comes Next

Trees, brush, and undergrowth are cleared so the site is ready for construction, agricultural use, or landscaping. The site, the access, and any nearby structures are assessed before the proposal is written, and the equipment and method are set from that assessment. The work is provided for homeowners, contractors, and developers.

Lot and Land Clearing is one service, defined by its scope. Standing trees, brush, and undergrowth are cut and cleared from the area set out in the proposal. Whether stumps are removed and whether the material is hauled away or spread on site is decided with you at the assessment and written into the proposal. 

The same service covers an overgrown residential lot, a wooded parcel being opened for landscaping or agricultural use, and a site being prepared for construction and scheduled to the builder’s program. All work is performed to the current ANSI Z133 arboricultural safety standard.

Signs YOU NEED Lot and Land Clearing

If any of the following apply, request an estimate.

  • A lot that has grown over and can no longer be used
  • A wooded parcel you want opened for a house, a barn, a pasture, or landscaping
  • A construction site that needs trees and brush gone before work can start
  • Brush and undergrowth crowding a fence line, drive, or property line
  • A site where access or nearby buildings make the method a question
  • A property that needs selective clearing while preserving healthy trees and existing landscape features.

If you are unsure, request an assessment, and the arborist will advise.

Why Choose Us for Land Clearing

What to expect from Michael’s Tree & Loader Service when a site needs clearing.

Assessed Before Work Begins

An arborist walks the site, confirms the area to be cleared, and sets the method to the access and any nearby structures.

Our Own Equipment and Crews

Grapple trucks and heavy material handlers we own, run by company crews, so clearing does not wait on rented equipment.

Scheduled to Your Program

For contractors and developers, clearing is scheduled to the building program so the site is ready when the next trade arrives.

Safe Work Around Structures

Crews review the plan and hazards before the first cut, protect adjacent structures and plantings, and work to the current ANSI Z133 arboricultural safety standard.

Scoped to What You Need

Stumps removed or left, material hauled away or spread on site: the choice is yours, set at the assessment and written into the proposal.

A Cleared Site Afterward

The work area is cleared before the job is considered complete.

“Within two hours Michael's Tree & Loader Service had a knuckle boom truck on the City'sstreets clearing blocked right-of-ways. His experience with federally declared NationalDisasters was a great aid to the City. Michael's crews worked approximately twenty-eight12-hour days to restore Lakeland to normal. The operators were always courteous andresponsive to the general public and the contract monitors. Michael Potts was alwaysavailable for a conference within minutes."

Chris Mason

“We could not have cleared our roads for travel without Michael's Tree Service. Michael'sTree Service worked fast as promised, because they had the right kind of equipment to dothe job fast as we absolutely needed. We feel because of a combined effort withvolunteers, County and City Road and Bridge Departments, and our contractor, Michael'sTree Service, we saved lives here in our rural areas and cities of Laclede County Missouriduring the approximate two week long ice storm disaster."
