Land & Lot Clearing

Why Choose Professional Land Clearing

Many property owners in Santa Fe underestimate the complexity of land clearing. What looks like a simple job can quickly become overwhelming without the right equipment and expertise. Trees have massive root systems, brush regrows stubbornly, and improper clearing can cause erosion problems in our high-desert environment.

Here is what professional land clearing provides:

• Complete tree and brush removal including roots, stumps, and underground obstacles
• Proper grading and debris disposal that prepares your land for construction or landscaping
• Erosion control planning critical for Santa Fe's slopes and seasonal rainfall patterns
• Selective clearing that preserves desirable trees and natural features
• Permit assistance for clearing projects requiring city or county approval
• Safe power line clearance when working near electrical infrastructure

Our Land Clearing Process

Every clearing project is different. We start by walking your property with you to understand your vision and identify any challenges. Some properties need complete clearing, while others require selective removal to preserve mature trees and natural beauty.

Site Assessment and Planning

We survey your property to locate trees, brush, rocks, and other obstacles. We identify utility lines, property boundaries, and areas requiring special attention. This planning phase ensures we clear exactly what you need while avoiding surprises that could delay your project.

Tree and Brush Removal

Using professional forestry equipment, we remove trees, shrubs, and undergrowth. We cut trees safely and efficiently, whether they are small juniper bushes or large pine trees that have stood for decades. All vegetation is cut close to ground level to prepare for the next phase.

Stump Grinding and Root Removal

Surface clearing is not enough for most development projects. We grind stumps below ground level and remove major roots that could interfere with construction, utilities, or landscaping. This step is essential for creating truly usable space on your property. Our stump grinding services ensure no obstacles remain hidden underground.

Debris Removal and Cleanup

We haul away all trees, branches, brush, and other vegetation from your property. We do not leave piles of debris for you to deal with. Your cleared land will be clean, level, and ready for grading, construction, or landscaping work to begin immediately.

Common Land Clearing Projects in Santa Fe

We handle land clearing projects of all sizes and purposes throughout Santa Fe and surrounding communities. Here are some of the most common reasons property owners hire us for clearing services:

New home construction: Clearing building sites and access roads for custom homes and developments. We work closely with builders and architects to prepare your lot according to construction plans and local building codes.

Property expansion: Opening up wooded or overgrown areas to expand usable yard space, create outdoor living areas, or add accessory structures like workshops and casitas.

Fire mitigation: Creating defensible space around homes by removing dense vegetation that poses wildfire risks. Santa Fe's fire-prone environment makes this clearing essential for safety and insurance requirements.

View restoration: Selectively removing trees and brush that block scenic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, sunsets, or valley vistas. We can open up your views while maintaining privacy and natural screening where desired.
