Land Clearing & Scraping Services, MIDWEST TREE SERVICES

Land Clearing in Saint Joseph for Sheds, Driveways, and New Projects

We clear brush, small trees, and stumps to get your land ready for whatever you're building. Been doing it around Saint Joseph and Kansas City since 2010. We cut, grind, scrape it level if you need that, and haul off all the debris.

Need a section of your property cleared for a shed, garden, driveway, or addition? We take out the brush, saplings, stumps, and overgrowth so you've got usable space. We've cleared land all over Saint Joseph and Kansas City—from quarter-acre lots getting ready for outbuildings to backyard sections for fire pits and gardens. Last summer we cleared about half an acre in Platte City for someone putting in a pole barn. Property had been sitting wild for years—thick brush, volunteer trees, stumps everywhere. Took us two days to cut it all down, grind the stumps, and scrape it reasonably level. Left it clean and ready for the construction crew. Land clearing's not complicated, but it takes the right equipment and someone who knows how to use it without tearing up the rest of your property.

WHY HOMEOWNERS CHOOSE MIDWEST TREE SERVICES for Land Clearing & Scraping Services

We don't just cut down the visible stuff and leave. We pull out stumps, clear the undergrowth, and haul off everything that comes out of the ground. You get cleared land, not a field of stumps and brush piles. We've got the equipment to grind stumps on-site and load trucks with debris. When we're done, the land's ready to use.

Some jobs just need clearing. Others need the ground leveled for a concrete pad, gravel driveway, or building foundation. We've got a skid steer for scraping and grading. Not full excavation work, but we can knock down high spots and smooth it out enough for most residential projects. Tell us what you're building and we'll get it close.

Got trees or landscaping you want to leave alone? We mark them off and work around them. Common around Saint Joseph where people want brush cleared but have mature trees they're keeping. We're not going in and flattening everything—we clear what you want gone and leave the rest standing.

Most residential land clearing jobs take one to three days depending on size and how thick the growth is. Quarter-acre lot might take a day. Half-acre with heavy brush and stumps might take two or three. We schedule within a week of your call in most cases. Not waiting around for a month to get brush cleared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How much does land clearing cost in Saint Joseph?

Depends on the size and how thick the growth is. Small quarter-acre lot with light brush might run $800–$1,500. Half-acre with heavy brush and stumps usually costs $2,000–$4,000. Scraping and leveling adds to the cost. We give free estimates—call and we'll come look and give you a real number.

Can you clear land without damaging trees I want to keep?

Yeah, we do it all the time. Just show us what you want left alone and we'll work around it. We mark off keepers and clear everything else. Common around Saint Joseph where people have mature oaks or maples they're keeping but need the undergrowth and junk trees cleared out.

Do you haul off all the brush and debris?

Yeah, we load it all and take it to the dump or brush site. Logs, brush, stumps—everything goes. You won't have piles sitting on your property after we leave. Some people want logs left for firewood, and we can do that. Otherwise, it's all hauled off.

Can you level the ground after clearing it?

We can scrape it reasonably level with a skid steer. Not finish grading like an excavator would do, but we can knock down high spots and smooth out the surface for driveways, shed pads, or garden areas. If you need precise grading for a foundation, you'll want an excavation company. For most residential projects, our scraping works fine.

How long does land clearing take?

Small jobs like clearing for a shed might take half a day. Quarter-acre lot with brush and saplings usually takes one to two days. Half-acre or more with heavy growth and stumps can take three to five days. We'll tell you the timeframe when we quote it.

Do you do land clearing in winter or just warm months?

We clear year-round unless the ground's frozen solid or covered in deep snow. Winter's actually easier in some ways—less undergrowth to deal with and you can see the stumps better. Spring and summer work fine too, just muddier if it's been raining. Fall's usually the best time if you can schedule it.
