Clearing multiple trees and brush for home additions, new construction, or lot preparation, including the Village permit and tree preservation paperwork that larger projects require. We'll give you a free quote.
Land clearing covers removing multiple trees, stumps, and brush across a lot rather than a single tree, typically ahead of a home addition, new build, or landscaping overhaul. It usually includes surveying which trees are in the footprint of the project, protecting trees meant to stay with temporary fencing, then removing, chipping, and hauling everything else.
This service fits projects like a home addition that extends into a wooded section of the yard, new construction on a treed lot, or preparing an overgrown property for a full landscaping redesign. If you're only removing one or two trees rather than clearing a section of the lot, the standalone tree removal service will usually be the better fit.
Skokie requires tree preservation planning for construction projects, which means any parkway tree in the way and any qualifying private tree (generally 8 inches or more in diameter) needs a permit before it comes down, along with a tree survey and protection plan for the trees staying in place. Projects that affect a larger number of trees may also need a site plan reviewed by Village staff.
The number and size of trees being cleared, density of brush and undergrowth, whether stumps are being ground out, access for larger equipment, and the scope of permit and preservation paperwork all influence the price of a land clearing project.
Likely yes, especially for parkway trees or any private tree 8 inches or more in diameter connected to construction. We'll handle the tree survey and preservation plan the Village requires alongside the removal permit for larger projects.
Often yes. We'll flag healthy trees outside the construction footprint to protect with fencing while clearing only what's in the way of the project.
It depends on the number and size of trees and the density of brush, but a residential lot clearing project is often completed in a few days to a week.
Trunks and large limbs are typically hauled off-site, brush is chipped, and stumps can be ground out as part of the same project if you'd like the lot fully cleared.
