Land clearing in Milwaukee done by the same crew that handles our excavation and grading, so your site is ready for what comes next.
We remove buckthorn, honeysuckle and dense undergrowth, including the roots and stumps that let invasives come straight back. Cutting alone just buys a season or two, so we take the material out properly and leave the ground clean. It is the difference between a property that stays open and one that is thick again by the following summer.
When some trees stay, we mark them before work starts and keep heavy equipment off their root zones. Mature oaks, shade trees near the house and anything screening a property line are worth protecting, and compacted soil over the roots can quietly kill a tree years later. We agree on what stays before a machine moves.
For new construction or additions around Milwaukee, we clear the building envelope, driveway route and utility paths so the site is ready for excavation. Everything comes out in the order the build needs it, which means your excavator, utility crew and builder are not working around piles of brush or trees that should have been gone already.
Tell us the wet corner or the rough drive — estimates are free.
Clearing is only half the job. What the ground looks like afterward decides how fast the next phase can start. A lot cleared and walked away from is still a problem site, full of stumps, ruts and loose soil. We finish the work so you can hand the property to a builder, seed it, or simply use it, without another round of cleanup first.
Stumps are ground or pulled depending on what will be built, so you are left with workable ground rather than obstacles. A stump under a future slab or driveway has to come out entirely, while one in an open area may only need grinding. We decide that with you based on what the space will be used for.
Silt fence and stabilization keep exposed soil in place, which matters on slopes and near wetlands, streams and storm drains. Freshly cleared ground moves quickly in a heavy Wisconsin rain, and that soil ends up somewhere you do not want it. Putting controls in while the site is open is far easier than fixing a washout afterward.
Because we also do excavation and grading, the cleared site can be shaped for drainage and building without bringing in a second contractor. Water gets directed away from the structure or the low spots, the surface is left even, and the next trade can start. One crew, one schedule, and no gap between clearing and the work that follows.
Tell us what you want the ground to do and we will walk the site with you, flag the trees worth keeping and lay out a clear plan. Reach out today to schedule a look at your property.
It depends on the municipality, the size of the disturbed area and whether wetlands, shoreland or floodplain are nearby. In Wisconsin, disturbing an acre or more generally requires a state construction site stormwater permit. We review the site with you first and point out what is likely to be required.
Brush and smaller material can be chipped on site and left as mulch for paths and beds if you want it, or hauled away. Larger logs can be cut to length and left for firewood or removed, depending on what you prefer and what the site allows.
Often, yes. Frozen ground supports equipment with less rutting and soil damage, which makes winter a good time for clearing on soft or wet sites.
The size of the area, the density and size of the trees, access for equipment, how stumps and debris are handled, and whether grading follows. We price from a written scope after the site visit.
We clear and prepare land around Milwaukee and across southeast Wisconsin, including Waukesha County and Walworth County from our base in Elkhorn. See our land clearing services, our land clearing in Waukesha, or our excavation services.
