Clearing Land in Lancaster County
Lancaster County land comes in every form, from open farm parcels near Mount Joy and Elizabethtown to wooded lots and overgrown properties around Columbia and Wrightsville. Each one clears differently. A building site needs trees, brush, and stumps removed cleanly so grading can start on schedule. A field edge that’s been creeping in for years needs the woody growth cut back and hauled off. An old lot that’s gone wild needs everything from mature trees to tangled undergrowth taken down in the right order.
We plan each job around what you’re actually doing with the land, so you’re not paying to clear more than you need or leaving behind what has to come out anyway.
What Our Land Clearing Service Includes
Our crews handle standing trees of any size, brush and undergrowth, fence-line overgrowth, and stumps. For the large or hazardous trees on a lot, our two cranes and certified operators let us take them down safely even in tight spots. Smaller growth, brush, and saplings are cut and cleared, and stumps are ground or removed depending on what the site needs next.
Clearing Invasive Growth
A lot of the worst overgrowth on Lancaster County properties is invasive: multiflora rose, autumn olive, and bush honeysuckle take over field edges and old lots fast and fight back if they’re only cut once. We clear them properly and can advise on keeping them from returning, in line with Penn State’s guidance on multiflora rose control and managing common invasive shrubs.
