Clear the Way
Land Clearing Services
Complete lot clearing for new construction, driveways, and property reclamation. We remove trees, brush, stumps, and debris so your land is ready for whatever comes next.
Land Clearing
Turn Wooded Land into Usable Property
Land clearing is one of the most demanding jobs in the tree service industry. It requires the right combination of heavy equipment, experienced operators, and a crew that knows how to work safely on rough, wooded terrain. Environmental Tree Service has been clearing land across Northeastern Pennsylvania since 1992, and we bring everything needed to get the job done.
Whether you are preparing a building site for a new home, cutting a driveway through wooded property, reclaiming an overgrown lot, or clearing fence lines, our process is thorough. We remove trees, grind stumps, clear brush, and haul debris. When we are done, your land is level, clean, and ready for construction, grading, or whatever you have planned.
Because we own every piece of equipment we use — from excavators and skid steers to chippers and stump grinders — we can tackle large clearing projects without passing expensive rental costs on to you. That means real savings on projects where equipment is running for days or even weeks.

What We Clear
Land Clearing for Every Purpose
Every clearing project has a different goal. Here are the most common situations we handle across Northeastern Pennsylvania.
New Construction & Building Sites
Planning a new home, garage, or commercial structure? We clear the lot completely, removing all trees, stumps, brush, and root systems so your contractor has a clean, level surface to work with. We coordinate with builders and excavators to match their timelines.
Driveway & Road Access
Cutting a new driveway through wooded property or clearing a path for utility access requires precision. We remove the trees and vegetation in the designated corridor, grind the stumps below grade, and clear the debris so grading and paving can begin.
Property Line & Fence Line Clearing
Overgrown property lines create boundary disputes, pest harborage, and fire risk. We clear trees, brush, and invasive growth along your property perimeter so you can install fencing, maintain sight lines, or simply reclaim the edge of your land.
Overgrown Property Reclamation
Inherited an overgrown lot? Bought a property that has been neglected for years? We take it back to usable land. Trees, brush, saplings, tall grass, stumps — we clear it all and leave you with a property you can actually do something with.
How It Works
Our Land Clearing Process
Site Visit & Planning
We walk the property with you, discuss your goals, identify any obstacles or protected areas, and develop a clearing plan. You get a detailed estimate before any work begins.
Tree & Brush Removal
Our crew starts by felling and removing all trees in the designated area. Brush, saplings, and undergrowth are cleared with our brush hog and hand equipment.
Stump Grinding & Root Removal
Every stump is ground below grade. For construction sites, we can grind deeper and remove major root systems to prevent settling and interference with foundations.
Debris Hauling & Final Grade
All wood, chips, and debris are hauled away or processed on site. We leave the cleared area level and ready for the next phase of your project.
The Environmental Tree Difference
Why Choose Us for Land Clearing
Company-Owned Heavy Equipment
Excavators, skid steers, brush hogs, chippers, and stump grinders — all owned by us. On a large clearing project, this saves you thousands compared to crews that rent their equipment and pass the cost along.
30+ Years on NEPA Terrain
Northeastern Pennsylvania is hilly, rocky, and densely wooded. We have been clearing land on this terrain since 1992 and know how to handle steep slopes, wet ground, and mixed hardwood forests efficiently.
Fully Insured, BBB A+
Land clearing is heavy, high-risk work. We carry full insurance and maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. You can trust us to protect your property and your investment.
From Half an Acre to Fifty
Whether you need a small patch cleared for a garden or an entire hillside opened up for development, we scale our crew and equipment to match the job. No project is too big or too small.
