Land Clearing
We clear whole lots and single sections with excavators, from the trees down to the stumps. The wood and brush are hauled off and the ground is left ready for the next step.

Brush clearing gets overgrown ground back. The back of the lot fills in with briars and pricker bushes. Vines climb into the trees and saplings close off the open ground. Give it a few years and you cannot get back there. We pull that growth out with an excavator.
We are based in Monroe and work across Fairfield County. Brush removal is its own job, and land clearing is the bigger one with the trees down and the stumps out. What leaves here is the undergrowth, the vines and the dead wood on the ground. Call (412) 944-9931 and we will come look at it.

The machine does the work here. An excavator with a bucket and a thumb grabs a clump of briars and lifts it onto a pile. The roots come with it more often than not. Vines get pulled off the trees they have climbed instead of cut at the base.
Fairfield County woods sit on glacial till. Boulders, ledge and old fieldstone walls run through the brush. A mower needs ground it can ride over. The excavator sits still and reaches around what is in the way.
Material gets piled as we go. It leaves the property, or it gets stacked in a back corner if you would rather keep it. The estimate says which way the job runs.
A lot of what takes over neglected land in Connecticut is on the state invasive plant list. Japanese barberry, multiflora rose, Japanese honeysuckle and wineberry are all on it. So is Asiatic bittersweet, the vine that climbs into the trees and damages them. Barberry and multiflora rose carry thorns, and they are much of what people call pricker bushes.
These plants are built to come back. The Connecticut Invasive Plant Working Group says Japanese barberry grows in dense thickets under the trees. The same group says repeated mowing will not get rid of it. Birds eat the fruit and drop the seed somewhere else.
Pulling the root ball out takes more of the plant than cutting the stem at the ground. Seed still sits in the soil and birds keep bringing more. Land that gets cleared stays open longer when you keep after new growth.
Dead wood on the ground is what stops most people from using their own woods. Connecticut has a lot of dead ash right now. The emerald ash borer reached the state in 2012 and has spread across it. The state environmental agency says infested trees often die within two to three years.
In the woods the usual course is to let those trees come apart where they stand. We run the excavator through, pick the dead wood up and pile it. The woods open back up, so you can walk them or ride an off-road vehicle again.
The same machine cuts a path. A trail down to a pond or a lake. A loop through the back acreage, or a view reopened where growth closed it in. If you want something a truck can drive on, that turns into a gravel driveway with a stone base.

(412) 944-9931From the first call to a flat, finished lot, here is how it goes.
Call (412) 944-9931 and tell us what has to come down or get dug out. We ask what is on the lot and how you want it left.
We come out and go over the job with you: the building, the access, where the debris goes. Slope, ledge and wet ground all change how a job gets done.
You get the work, the hauling and the finished grade spelled out in writing. Nothing gets scheduled until you say go.
The demolition permit comes from the town building official, and the town wants the utility disconnects confirmed first. We tell you what your town will ask for and line the job up around it. Call Before You Dig marks the public lines before any digging starts.
The debris is hauled away, the cellar hole is filled to grade and the ground is left flat. We go over the finished site with you before we pull off the job.

We dig stumps out of the ground whole, roots and all, with an excavator. The stumps are hauled off and the hole is filled and graded.

We backfill, rough grade and finish grade with excavators, then spread topsoil and put grass seed down. Yards are regraded so water runs away from the house instead of sitting against it.

The company came out of general construction, from commercial buildings to water main work for cities and towns. Knowing how a building went up shapes how it comes down.
The teardown, the digging, the clearing and the final grade all come from the same company. One number to call while the lot is being worked.
We come look at the site, then put the work and the price in writing. Call (412) 944-9931 to set one up.
