Walk Your Lines With Us
Send your number and the rough acreage. We’ll come walk the property, mark the lines, and give you a written firm price.
What you get
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 Triad 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
Trunks, root balls, and stray brush get loaded by the skid steer onto the dump trailer and hauled off the lot. 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.

316 Tree Services
Two things most tree crews can't promise.
In a trade full of one-truck operators and "I'll call you back next week" estimates, we built 316 Tree Services on two principles that protect your property and your time.
The 316 Tree Services Promise
Fully insured. Same-day quotes. Every time.
Two things kill homeowner confidence: the fear of getting stuck with damage you didn't cause, and the wait for an estimate that never comes. We fixed both.
Fully Insured, Triad-Wide
Fully insured on every clear. Ask for our certificate before we start; we keep it ready.
Same-Day Quotes

What Our Neighbors 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!

Three steps. We walk the lines, we hand you a firm price, we mobilize one crew and leave the lot ready for whoever’s coming next.

02
We walk the lines together
On site within 24 hours. We agree on the line of clearing, ribbon-mark keep trees, photograph everything, and hand you a written firm price. Free, no obligation.
03
One trip, lot grading-ready
Same crew, one mobilization. Canopy mulched, trunks down, stumps ground, debris hauled, final grading pass. Final photos sent same day for your file or your GC.

Land Clearing FAQ
The questions we hear most often before a quote. If yours isn’t here, call us — we’ll answer in plain language.
How much does land clearing cost?
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+) scales with crew-day count and the number of haul-out trips. Written firm price after we walk the lines with you.
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.
Refer a friend and you both get $50. Plus discounts for seniors, military & first responders.
