How It Works
Lot Clearing Process in Hockessin
-
Site Walk & Plan
We walk the property with you, understand what stays and what goes, discuss access for equipment, and review any permit requirements. Properties near Brandywine Creek or wetland buffers may have restrictions on clearing near water.
-
Utility Locates
We ensure 811 marks are in place before any clearing begins. For construction sites, we coordinate with your excavator on the sequence so clearing doesn't interfere with active grading or utility work.
-
Systematic Clearing
We work from the perimeter in or from a designated area of the site outward, felling trees in the most efficient sequence. Debris is managed as we go — chipped on-site, piled for later haul-out, or immediately loaded, depending on site logistics.
-
Stump Removal & Grade
Every stump is ground to the required depth — typically 12–18 inches for landscaping, deeper for construction. We rake the surface and leave the site at a clean grade ready for your next contractor.

Local Tip for Hockessin Homeowners
Hockessin's mature hardwood trees have significant commercial timber value — particularly straight-grain white oak and cherry. If you're clearing a Hockessin wooded lot, consider whether the timber value warrants engaging a sawyer before clearing begins. We can provide log sections rather than chipping large-diameter straight-grain timber on request.

What Hockessin Customers Say
"Highly recommend. The owner stopped by to offer service the day after a tree fell onto my house and wires. He and his crew were super fast and efficient, sent videos and photos every step since I wasn't home. Price was extremely reasonable and the cleanup was impressive."
