What Lot Clearing Involves

A Comprehensive Site Preparation Service

Lot clearing is a full-scope vegetation removal service that goes beyond individual tree removal or brush clearing. When a lot is cleared by A1 Tree Service in Ashville, AL, you receive a property that is completely free of all trees, stumps, brush, vines, and woody debris, ready for whatever comes next in your project plan.

This is a significant undertaking that requires proper sequencing, the right combination of equipment, and careful management of debris volumes. Our crews work systematically across the lot, starting with the largest trees and working down through progressively smaller vegetation, chipping brush continuously as they work to prevent accumulation that slows the operation and creates safety hazards.

All stumps are ground to below-grade level as part of our standard lot clearing service, since buried stumps left in the ground become a serious problem for grading contractors, foundation work, and future landscaping if they are not properly addressed during the clearing phase. We coordinate our stump grinding to follow immediately behind the felling crew for maximum efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lot Clearing FAQ

How do I prepare my lot for clearing?
+
Before our crew arrives to begin clearing your Ashville, AL lot, there are a few steps that can help the process go smoothly. First, confirm with us that any required clearing permits have been obtained or are in process. Second, walk the lot and mark or flag any specific trees or areas you want preserved, if applicable. Third, ensure there is a clear access point for our equipment, ideally at least 10 to 14 feet wide for our larger machinery. Finally, contact your utility companies to mark any underground lines near the perimeter of the lot so we can work around them safely. We will walk through all of this during our pre-clearing site visit as well.
Does lot clearing include grading?
+
Lot clearing as performed by A1 Tree Service includes the complete removal of all vegetation, stumps, and woody debris to leave the lot at its existing grade level. It does not include finish grading, cut and fill earthwork, or soil preparation for construction. Grading is a separate scope of work typically performed by an excavation or site work contractor following our clearing. We can coordinate the sequencing of our clearing with your grading contractor so our work is complete and the lot is ready when their machinery is scheduled to arrive on site.
Can you clear lots with wetland buffers or setback requirements?
+
Yes, but this requires careful advance planning and compliance with applicable regulations. Many municipalities in Ashville, AL and surrounding areas have setback requirements that prohibit clearing within a certain distance of wetlands, streams, floodplains, and property lines. These setbacks vary significantly and can range from 25 to 200 feet or more depending on the jurisdiction and the type of resource being protected. A1 Tree Service is experienced at clearing lots with regulated setbacks, and we work precisely within the clearing boundaries established by permits and site plans. We recommend having your site plan reviewed and any regulated setbacks clearly marked before clearing begins.
