How much does demolition or land clearing cost?

Land clearing ranges $1,500–$15,000+ per acre based on brush density, terrain, and haul distance. Request an estimate with property details for a real quote.
How long does a typical project take?
Timeline depends on scope. Most residential pool demolitions take 1–3 days. Land clearing usually runs 1–5 days per acre. Grading pads typically take 1–4 days. We provide realistic timelines during the site review and include them in your estimate.
Do you handle permits?
We coordinate permit requirements for our project scope where applicable and flag jurisdictional steps during the estimate process. Final requirements depend on the city, county, structure type, and project details.
Are you licensed and insured?
License and insurance details are confirmed during project scoping and contracting. Once a CSLB number is published, it should be verified through the CSLB License Lookup before work is scheduled.
How do I get an estimate?
Send property photos, the address, and a description of what needs to be removed, cleared, or graded via our estimate form. Include access notes and any site constraints. We respond with a real estimate within one business day.
Do you do fire safety clearing?
Yes. We perform brush reduction, fuel reduction, and defensible space preparation aligned with CAL FIRE standards for Zones 0, 1, and 2. This includes clearing dead trees, reducing understory vegetation, and widening access routes for emergency vehicles.
