How much does it cost to clear an acre of land?

Honest answer: a per-acre rate quoted sight-unseen is usually wrong, because the price is driven by what is on the acre: Brush and light vegetation: the affordable end - our masticator processes it in place quickly Mixed brush with small trees: mid-range - mastication plus selective cutting Mature trees: priced per tree on top of the clearing - a wooded acre is a different project entirely Slope and access: steep or equipment-inaccessible ground adds hand-crew time Disposal: chips can often stay on site as erosion control; hauling everything away costs more For defensible space work, partial clearing (understory and ladder fuels, keeping the healthy canopy) often achieves the fire-safety goal at a fraction of full-clear cost. We walk the parcel and give a firm written estimate - free, with dump and haul included where material leaves the site.

Mixed brush with small trees: mid-range – mastication plus selective cutting
Mature trees: priced per tree on top of the clearing – a wooded acre is a different project entirely
Slope and access: steep or equipment-inaccessible ground adds hand-crew time
Disposal: chips can often stay on site as erosion control; hauling everything away costs more
