FAQs About Lot Clearing
How long does lot clearing take?
The timeline for a lot clearing project depends on the size of the lot, the density of vegetation, and the accessibility of the land. Most residential lot clearings can be completed within a day or two, while larger commercial or heavily wooded lots may take several days. At Joe Tree, we provide a realistic timeline up front and work efficiently to stay on schedule.
Do I need a permit for lot clearing on Long Island?
Permit requirements vary by town and the scope of the clearing. In many Long Island municipalities, permits are required for significant tree removal or land disturbance. We help our clients navigate these local rules and can point you in the right direction if permits are necessary before we begin.
Can you clear land that includes stumps and roots?
Yes. Our lot clearing service includes stump grinding and removal, ensuring your land is not only cleared on the surface but also ready for whatever comes next—whether it’s laying down sod, pouring concrete, or building a structure. We have specialized equipment to remove even stubborn roots efficiently.
What happens to the trees and debris you clear?
All debris is either chipped, hauled away, or stacked neatly if you'd like to reuse it for firewood or landscaping. We tailor this part of the service to your preferences. Our goal is to leave your lot completely clean, so there’s no leftover mess to deal with after we’re gone.
Is lot clearing safe for my property and nearby structures?
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority during every lot clearing project. Our crew takes extra precautions to avoid damaging fences, driveways, utility lines, or neighboring trees you want to keep. With an owner on-site for every job, you’ll have peace of mind knowing everything is done right.
