At JG Grading & Landscaping, our Land Clearing service is the first critical step to transforming your property.

We clear land for homeowners, farmers, builders, and commercial developers who want it done the right way from the start. As a third-generation contractor, we’ve built our reputation on following the proper process — not shortcuts. That means excavating stumps and roots, removing debris, and grading the property so it’s stable, clean, and ready for its next stage. Whether it’s a residential lot, farmland, or a large-scale build, we bring the same experience, professionalism, and satisfaction guarantee to every project.

What is Land Clearing?

Land Clearing means removing trees, stumps, brush, and obstacles to create usable land. It’s the first step in preparing property for new construction, agriculture, pastures, driveways, or recreation. Done properly, it prevents future problems like settling, sinkholes, or erosion — and makes your property safe and ready to use.

Our Process

Initial Assessment: We start with a walkthrough of your property to understand the terrain, drainage, and areas to be cleared.
Custom Plan: We design a clearing plan that meets your needs while protecting the areas and trees you want to keep.
Professional Execution: We excavate stumps and roots, haul off or stack debris neatly, and leave your land graded and balanced so it’s ready for its next step.

Cheap Guy vs. JG Grading & Landscaping

What happens when you hire the cheap guy:

Cuts trees but leaves stumps, roots, and buried debris behind
Site looks fine at first, until rotting roots cause sinkholes or settling
Brush and logs left in piles for you to deal with
No grading or drainage → erosion and water issues later
You end up paying again to fix what wasn’t done right

Our Satisfaction Guarantee

At JG Grading & Landscaping

We believe in doing business the old-school way — where a man’s word still means something, and a handshake seals the deal.

When we tell you we’ll do a job, we stand behind it with a satisfaction guarantee: if the work we’ve contracted to do isn’t done right, we’ll make it right. We can’t control weather, natural conditions, or factors outside our scope, but we can control how we work — with integrity, honesty, and no shortcuts.

Three generations of experience have taught us that the right way is the only way. That’s what we promise every customer who puts their trust in us.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” – Colossians 3:23

Land clearing isn’t just about knocking trees down — it’s about doing it the right way from start to finish.

Walkthrough & Assessment

Every project starts with us walking the property with you. We look at the terrain, drainage, trees, and overgrowth to be removed, as well as anything you want left standing. This step is about more than just “looking at the land” — it’s about understanding your goals. Are you preparing for a home, opening up farmland, or developing a larger commercial site? We take all of that into account so the plan fits your specific needs.

Custom Clearing Plan

Once we know the layout and your vision, we create a plan for the clearing. This includes identifying what needs to go, what needs to stay, and how debris will be handled — whether it’s hauling, stacking, or a combination. We also factor in safety, efficiency, and protecting the areas that aren’t being touched. This step ensures there are no surprises once the machines start working.

Excavation & Clearing

This is where the real work happens. Trees, shrubs, and stumps are removed, and roots are excavated out of the ground — not cut off at grade and left to rot. That’s a major difference between a cheap clearing job and a professional one. Leaving roots behind can lead to sinkholes, uneven settling, and long-term headaches. We take the time to do it right by completely excavating roots and underground debris so the ground remains stable. All brush, logs, and debris are then either hauled off or stacked neatly depending on your preference.

Smoothing & Site Prep Finish

Once the clearing and excavation are complete, we smooth the property so it’s level, safe, and usable. This isn’t full grading (that’s a separate service), but it does mean ruts, holes, and uneven spots are addressed so you’re not left with a rough mess. The goal is simple: when we’re done, your land is cleared, stable, and ready for its next step in the journey — whatever that might be.
