When you need large areas of land opened up quickly and professionally, Grubb Tree & Excavation delivers dependable lot and land clearing services tailored to your goals. Whether you’re preparing a property for construction, improving pasture and access, or reclaiming overgrown acreage, our team clears the way with efficient, controlled work that gets your land ready for use.
Lot and land clearing is the removal of trees, brush, shrubs, stumps, and debris from a designated area to make the land usable for a specific purpose. Unlike forestry mulching or grading alone, land clearing often involves:
Removing larger trees and vegetation
Cutting and hauling brush and undergrowth
Cleaning up debris for safe, open space
Creating clear access routes and edges
This service sets the foundation for multiple future uses — from residential building to agricultural or recreational space.
Clearing land might sound simple, but experienced crews make all the difference.
Professional land clearing:
✔ Improves safety and reduces hidden hazards
✔ Eliminates disease, dead, or unstable trees
✔ Opens space for construction, pasture, or landscaping
✔ Reduces wildfire fuel and undergrowth buildup
✔ Improves access and visibility on your property
Homeowners and landowners trust us because we do more than clear brush — we clear with purpose and safety in mind.
While services like forestry mulching focus on turning vegetation into mulch and grading focuses on smoothing the earth, lot and land clearing means clearing space for real use. Our approach includes:
Tree, sapling, brush, and scrub cleared to create significant usable space.
We haul off brush, grind stumps, and leave a tidy, functional lot.
We protect desirable trees, fences, landscaping, and utilities while removing what you don’t want.
From compact excavators to brush cutters, we bring the right gear for your scale of work.
We tailor our clearing work based on how you want to use your property:
Create space for building pads, yards, driveways, and access.
Open fields for livestock, equipment, and grazing.
Build safe paths for vehicles and future site work.
Clear wooded lots for trails, campsites, or play areas.
Whether it’s a single lot or multiple acres, we help you get the space you want — without guesswork.
Every land clearing job begins with a thoughtful evaluation of your property and objectives. From there, we plan the work to:
Clear unwanted vegetation and obstacles
Protect soil where appropriate
Avoid unnecessary disturbance of desirable landscape
Minimize environmental impact
Maintain access and safe jobsite conditions
We match our equipment and crew size to the job — nothing more, nothing less — so you get results on schedule and within scope.
Full lot and land clearing in the Charlottesville and Central Virginia area typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000+ per acre, depending on site conditions and clearing goals.
A few things that affect price include:
How dense the vegetation is
How many standing trees must be removed
Terrain and ease of equipment access
Whether stumps are ground or removed
Debris hauling versus on-site mulching
Because every property and project is unique, we prefer to review photos or schedule a site evaluation to give you a clearer estimate based on your land’s specific conditions.

"We just had a large 4 day clearing project completed and were very pleased with the whole process. Communication was superb which we’ve found to be rare in this industry. Luke was very flexible when the scope of our job changed, he worked within our budget, and the whole crew was always on time, had a great work ethic, and we’re conscientious about a clean, thorough job. I would absolutely recommend and use Grubb Tree again." - K.R.
