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.

oUR loT AND laND cLEARING sERVICE
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.

See What Our Customers Say
Feedback from the homeowners, businesses, and municipalities we have served.
“Our experience with Michael's Tree & Loader has been very positive and I would highlyrecommend Michael's Tree & Loader for any type of storm or other tree related work. Iwould welcome the opprotunity to work with Michael and his firm in the future."
“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."
“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."
Lot and Land Clearing Questions
Do you work with contractors and developers?
Yes. Lot and land clearing, large removals, and debris hauling are provided for contractors and developers, including sites where access or adjacent structures constrain the method.
Can you clear a site near buildings or fences?
Access and nearby structures are assessed before the estimate is issued, and the equipment and method are specified accordingly.
Do you grind the stumps as well?
Yes, if you want them gone. Stump removal is set at the assessment and included in the proposal.
Is a permit required?
Requirements depend on the municipality, the size of the area, and in some places tree ordinances, historic districts, or an HOA. The arborist will confirm what applies to your address during the assessment.
What happens if weather affects the scheduled date?
Forecasts are reviewed ahead of every job and you will be contacted in advance if the date must move. Rescheduling for weather carries no additional charge.
Is there a charge for an estimate?
No. Assessments and estimates are provided at no charge.
