We clear the lot. We leave it ready for what’s next.
Chainsaws for the canopy, chipper for the brush, skid steer loads the trunks onto the dump trailer, stumps ground in-place to the depth the next contractor needs, debris hauled, final grading pass. Every High Point lot clear covers the six items below.
-
Property Lines + Tree Survey in Writing
We walk the property with you, agree on the line of clearing, mark the keep trees with ribbon, photograph everything. The line we agreed to is the line we cut to, period. No “oops, we took the wrong oak.”
-
Chainsaw the Canopy, Chipper for the Brush
Climbers and ground crew section the canopy down with chainsaws. Limb material runs through the chipper into the dump truck. No burn pile, no smoke, no neighbor calling the city — the brush leaves with us in chip form.
-
Trunk Drop + Cleanup in One Pass
Once the canopy is down and chipped, the standing trunks come down. Logs cut to length and either left for you (firewood) or loaded by the skid steer onto the dump trailer for haul. Your call before we start.
-
Stumps Ground In-Place, To the Depth You Need
4 inches for lawn-ready, 8 to 12 inches for sod or fence-post lines, 12 to 18 inches for replanting depth, or ground flush for a builder pad. One trip, no return visit, no separate stump invoice.
-
Debris Removal + Final Grading Pass
What doesn’t mulch in place — the trunks, the root balls, the stray brush from cleanup — gets loaded and hauled. We do a final pass with the skid-steer to rake the surface, smooth the ruts, and leave the lot grading-ready for the next trade.
-
Stake-Ready Handoff to the Next Contractor
Builder, fence company, landscaper, surveyor — we coordinate with whoever’s coming next so the lot lands in the right state. Final photos sent same day to you and (if you authorize) directly to your GC.
Cleared, chipped, and hauled off.

What Triad Homeowners Say
Real reviews from real Triad homeowners. We’re proud to earn each one.
Walter and his son did a great job cutting my 2 large trees down all the way to the stump. His price was very reasonable and his customer service was great. I will use him again and I will recommend him to friends and colleagues.
I was extremely pleased with the service I received. They cut down several trees and cleared a large section of bushes in my backyard. They were pleasant and efficient and the cost was very reasonable.
Very friendly and courteous. Service was very reasonable. They arrived promptly and did an excellent job and clean up. Highly recommended!
Two things most tree crews can’t promise.
Two of the biggest reasons a tree job goes sideways: an uninsured crew, or a quote that never shows up. We built 316 Tree Services around solving both.

How big is the lot? What’s coming next?
A backyard pool clear is a one-day skid-steer job. A builder’s 3-acre subdivision cut is a week of multi-trailer haul-outs. Here’s how we size a clear so you know what you’re paying for before we ever walk the lines in High Point.
Small Lot
Under 1/4 acre · Skid steer + chainsaws · 1-day job
In-fill teardown sites, big residential backyards being cleared for a pool or addition, small commercial pads. One day, skid steer + chainsaw + chipper, stumps ground in-place. Most common in the in-fill teardown blocks off Eastchester and the older neighborhoods near Main.

- Skid steer + chainsaws
- Stumps in-place
- Same-day finish

Standard Lot
1/4 to 1 acre · Skid steer + chipper · 2-3 day job
The bread-and-butter clear. Subdivision lots being cleared for new construction, hobby-farm sections being opened up, light commercial pads. Chainsaw crew on the canopy, chipper running in parallel, skid steer cycling trunks to the dump trailer, stumps ground in-place, 2 to 3 days from first cut to graded-ready.
- 1/4 to 1 acre

Large Clear
1 acre+ · Multi-trailer haul-out · Multi-day clear

Multi-day jobs with daily progress photos to you. Coordination with your civil engineer or GC so the grading hits the plans.

Three Steps to a Cleaner Yard
Here’s how a typical High Point lot clear goes from your first call to a graded, debris-free lot ready for what’s next.
Call or Send Your Number
Call us or send your number. We come out, walk the property lines with you, and agree on exactly what’s being cleared. Ribbon-marked keep trees, photographed lines.
Get a Free Estimate
We come out the same day when we can. The quote is free, the price is firm, and there’s no pressure to book on the spot.
We Get the Job Done
Our crew shows up on schedule. We mulch the canopies, drop the trunks, grind the stumps in-place to the depth the next contractor needs, haul the debris, and do a final grading pass. The lot is handed off ready for fence, foundation, pasture, or replant.
This is our home yard
High Point is the home shop
The shop is in High Point. The skid steer and the chipper live on the trailer here, the dump truck is hooked up by morning, and the chainsaws are sharpened in the same garage every Sunday night. For a High Point lot clear, there’s no drive time baked into the equipment-relocation line, and no fuel surcharge for the trailer pull. A Jamestown Road builder who calls Monday morning gets ribbon-walked Tuesday and clearing started Wednesday. High Point gets the home-shop schedule.
Land clearing in High Point is two different jobs depending on which side of town you’re on. Out toward Skeet Club and Jamestown Road, the newer subdivisions and the spec-build cuts on the city edge are the typical Standard Lot work — 1/2 to 1 acre, chainsaw-and-chipper days, builder-pad-flush stumps. Closer in, the Eastchester in-fill teardowns and the older neighborhoods off Main run more toward Small Lot work — a backyard being opened up for a pool, a side-yard being cleared for an addition. Out on the rural edge toward College Drive and the Trinity line, occasional Large Clear jobs come through — pasture conversion, agricultural opening, multi-acre rural homestead lots. The same crew, the same trailer, the same Sunday-sharpened chainsaws on every one.
Land Clearing — Common Questions
Don’t see your question? Call us at (336) 259-8460.
How much does land clearing cost in High Point?
Price tracks the acreage inside the marked lines and the canopy density. Small Lot (under 1/4 acre) is the quickest job. Standard Lot (1/4 to 1 acre) is the most common. Large Clear (1 acre+) is the biggest, scaling with crew-day count and the number of haul-out trips. Written firm price after we walk the lines with you — request a free estimate.
Will I get a burn pile?
No. The chipper runs the brush into the dump truck and we haul it off the lot. No burn permit, no smoke, no neighbor calling the city. The brush leaves with us in chip form.
What about the stumps?
Ground in-place on the same trip, no separate visit, no separate invoice. Tell us what’s coming next (lawn / sod / fence / replant / builder pad) and we’ll match the depth to it.
Do you need a survey or plot plan?
A current survey is best. If you don’t have one, we walk the property with you and the deed map, mark the lines with ribbon and stakes, and photograph everything before the first cut. We do not clear past a marked line, ever — even if you tell us to mid-job.
Can you save specific trees?
Yes, and we’d rather you tell us which ones. Walk the lot with us, mark the keep trees with the orange ribbon we bring, and we work around them. The chainsaw crew follows the ribbon.
How long does a clear take?
Small Lot: 1 day. Standard Lot: 2 to 3 days. Large Clear: 4+ days, sometimes 1 to 2 weeks for the bigger builder developments. Daily progress photos go to you and (if you authorize) to your GC.
Do you coordinate with my builder or fence company?
Yes. Tell us who’s coming next and what state they need the lot in (graded to plan, stake-ready, sod-ready, fence-line-cleared). We hand off directly. Final photos to your GC same day.
What about permits?
In most High Point and Guilford County jurisdictions, land clearing on a single-family parcel doesn’t need a separate permit, but new construction does. We’re not the permit-puller — that’s the builder’s lane — but we can tell you the typical Guilford County process and which agency to start with.
Do you work around utilities, septic, or wells?
Yes. We mark Duke Energy lines (call 811 before we start), septic field lines, and well heads with flags before any equipment runs. Above-ground utility setbacks (35 feet from live wires) are absolute.
Do you also clear lots outside High Point?
Yes, the whole Triad. Land clearing routes run from Archdale and Trinity south of us, west to Winston-Salem, north to Kernersville, and east to Greensboro, and out to Clemmons and Lexington on the longer hauls. Big jobs we’d rather schedule than rush — call and we’ll tell you the honest start date.
