How much does land clearing cost?

It depends on the size of the area, how dense the vegetation is, the terrain and access, and what you want the land to look like when we're done. Because every property is different, we price each project individually with a free quote.

What should I include in my quote request?

Tell us where the property is, roughly how large the area is, what's on it (trees, brush, stumps, or concrete), and what you plan to do with the land. Your timeline helps too. The more we know, the more accurate your quote will be.

Our Services

What services does MaxForce offer?

We offer land clearing and site preparation, forestry mulching and mastication, fire mitigation and fuel reduction, stump grinding and tree removal, and concrete demolition, removal, and on-site crushing.

What is forestry mulching?

Forestry mulching uses specialized equipment to grind trees, brush, and vegetation into mulch right where they stand. There's no burning or hauling, and the mulch layer left behind helps protect the soil.

Should I choose forestry mulching or traditional land clearing?

Choose forestry mulching if you want overgrown land opened up and usable while keeping the soil intact. Choose land clearing and site preparation if you're building: it removes trees, stumps, and debris, then grades and levels the ground for a stable foundation. We'll recommend the right approach when we quote your project.

Can you clear only part of my property or keep certain trees?

Yes. We offer selective clearing and selective tree removal, so we can take out the brush and trees you don't want while preserving the ones you do.

Do you remove stumps completely?

Yes. We grind stumps below ground level for a smooth finish and remove the root system to prevent regrowth and clear the way for whatever comes next.

Do you haul away debris?

It depends on the service. Forestry mulching leaves the material on site as mulch. Land clearing includes debris removal so your site is clean and organized. With concrete demolition, we either haul the broken concrete away or crush it on site into gravel base you can reuse.

What kinds of concrete do you remove?

We remove driveways, sidewalks, concrete slabs, and foundations, using excavators, jackhammers, and skid steers to break up and clear concrete safely.

Do you handle storm damage and hazardous trees?

Yes. We clean up storm-damaged and fallen trees and remove dead, diseased, or hazardous trees that put structures or people at risk. Call us at (208)-500-1690 to get on the schedule.

Fire Mitigation

What is fire mitigation?

Fire mitigation reduces the vegetation, brush, and deadwood that fuel wildfires. We clear brush and overgrowth, thin and prune trees, remove deadwood, and create defensible space around structures.

What is defensible space?

Defensible space is a buffer around your home or buildings where fuel has been cleared or reduced, which helps slow a wildfire's spread and gives your property a better chance. We create it with strategic clearing and fuel reduction.

Do you offer fire mitigation assessments?

Yes. We'll look at your property, identify the fire hazards, and recommend a fuel reduction plan for residential, commercial, or undeveloped land. Call us at (208)-500-1690 to schedule one.

Working With Us

What equipment do you use?

We run heavy equipment built for the job, including excavators, skid steers, and forestry mulching and mastication machines, plus jackhammers for concrete work.

Do I need a permit for land clearing?

It depends on your county and the scope of the work. We plan site preparation to comply with local land development regulations and will talk through what applies to your project when we quote it.
