Comprehensive Land Clearing Solutions for Every Property

Our land clearing services are NOT a one size fits all approach. At Granite State Land Management we approach each job as its own unique project. We implement our in-house land clearing principles to develop the scope of work and provide clarity and peace of mind like no other land clearing company can. Our key principles of land clearing:

  1. Determine the landowners’ intent and end state for use after land clearing – IE land clearing for Construction Site Prep, Pasture Conversion, Commercial Developments, Residential Developments etc.
  2. Assess applicable Federal, State and Local laws, regulations and ordinances for land clearing – IE permitted land use, requirements for notification of intent to cut, alteration of terrain permitting, wetland impact permitting, timber tax requirements and more.
  3. Determine the property boundaries and the limits of disturbance for land clearing – We conduct deed research and reconstruct property boundaries utilizing CAD survey software and survey equipment to mark boundaries. Or we utilize our partner engineering firm to assist with conceptual designs and surveying to aid in determining the land clearing requirements.
  4. Propose a scope of work that encompasses the first three principles – Land is a valuable and finite asset. When is comes to land clearing there should be absolute clarity between the land owner and the land clearing company around the work performed and the various phases of land clearing.

Our Land Clearing Services

Residential Land Clearing

From building your dream home to opening up a backyard or reclaiming an overgrown lot, our residential land clearing helps New Hampshire homeowners get the most from their property. We clear trees, brush, and debris efficiently while protecting the parts of your landscape you want to keep.

Lot Clearing

House lot and building-site clearing that takes a wooded parcel to a buildable footprint. We clear the trees, stumps, and brush that stand between your survey and your slab — and preserve the select trees you want framing the finished home. Our mechanized equipment is sized for tight residential sites, so a quarter-acre building envelope on a tough back lot gets the same precision as open acreage.

Typical lot clearing projects: new home construction sites, garage and addition footprints, house lot expansions, and view and yard envelopes around existing homes. Every job is priced by the acre with the scope settled before we start.

Commercial Land Clearing

For developers, contractors, and businesses, our commercial land clearing prepares sites of any size for construction, subdivisions, and infrastructure. Granite State Land Management works to your plans and timeline, delivering cleared, graded, build-ready land across New Hampshire.

Vegetation & Stump Clearing

Overgrown vegetation and stubborn stumps can make land unusable. We handle full vegetation and stump clearing — removing invasive growth, underbrush, and root systems so your property is clean, safe, and ready for its next use.

Our mechanized approach works at every scale. The feller buncher cuts and bunches whole trees, the skidder hauls them out, and the whole-tree chipper processes everything on site. No piles to burn, no slash to haul. We move through brush and small-diameter material as efficiently as we handle mature timber.

If you have a lot to clear in New Hampshire — residential or commercial, half-acre or fifty — we can quote it. Call us at (603) 686-8137 now. We’re standing by to get started

Land Clearing Cost

The cost of land clearing is the top question we are asked, and our response is always “it depends”. At Granite State Land Management, we do not use a one size fits all approach to land clearing and depending on the land owners needs and the intended land use the cost may vary. Some of the key factors that determine the cost to clear land:

Tree Density and Maturity

The more trees and larger they are the longer the land clearing process takes, however, the sale of the timber from logging may help offset this cost if it’s a desirable species or in large enough quantity to justify a timber sale.

Stumps and Method of Disposal

The size and number of stumps play a crucial role in the land clearing process, with larger trees and certain species requiring more time for stump removal. The method of stump disposal is a key factor in determining the cost of land clearing, whether it involves hauling stumps offsite or grinding them on site for erosion control or silt fencing. Granite State Land Management offers various options for stump disposal, including on-site grinding where stumps are ground into material for erosion control, hauling stumps and slash offsite, or consolidating stumps in a designated area as specified by the landowner. Due to safety and liability issues Granite State Land Management does NOT bury stumps

Area

The size of the area in combination with the tree density, maturity and disposal method of stumps is the final factor in driving the total cost to clear land.
