Why Hire a Professional Lot Clearing Company?

Clearing land on your own can be time-consuming, physically demanding, and risky, especially when heavy trees or large areas are involved. Professional lot clearing ensures:

  • Work is completed safely using commercial-grade equipment
  • Trees are removed without damaging surrounding structures
  • Stumps and roots are addressed properly
  • Debris is managed responsibly
  • Projects stay on schedule

DreamWorks Tree Services brings ISA-certified arborists, professional-grade bucket trucks, cranes, and chippers, and $5 million in liability insurance to every site. We are BBB A+ accredited, rated 97% on HomeStars, and have been clearing land across the GTA for more than 15 years.

An experienced crew clears the whole lot in one pass, on a schedule you can plan around. That means your builder, excavator, and landscaper start on time instead of waiting on a half-finished site.

What Is Included in Our Lot Clearing Services?

Every property is different. Our crews follow a methodical process to ensure thorough and efficient results:

  • Site surveying – Identifying hazards, access points, and project boundaries
  • Safe tree felling – Controlled removal using professional techniques
  • Full stump removal – Preventing regrowth and surface hazards
  • Brush clearing and removal – Clearing undergrowth and debris
  • Wood chipping and disposal – Recycling material whenever possible
  • Land regrading (if/as needed) – Preparing a stable surface for construction
  • Tree preservation (as desired) – Protecting selected trees when feasible

Furthermore, contracting an experienced tree removal service will ensure that the lot will be cleared in a comprehensive and time-efficient manner, thereby allowing other service providers like the builder or the landscaper to begin their work much sooner than if they had to wait until the property owner can find the time to fully clear the lot themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Land Clearing Services

Our land clearing services include a range of tasks designed to prepare your land for construction or landscaping. This typically involves cutting down trees, removing vegetation, grinding stumps, hauling debris, and even leveling the surface using heavy equipment like excavators and bulldozers. We aim to ensure your land is cleared quickly and safely, with minimal complications.

In most cases, a permit may be required to remove certain trees or perform land clearing, depending on the location and size of the project. Our clearing specialists are well-versed in local regulations and can help guide you through the necessary steps to obtain the appropriate permits. We recommend checking with local authorities before starting any land-clearing work.

After ground clearing, we focus on environmentally friendly disposal practices. We can haul away the debris for proper disposal or, if you prefer, mulch the wood and leave it for use in landscaping. If stumps are present, we offer stump-grinding services, turning the stumps into mulch that can be left on-site or taken away. Our goal is to minimize waste and recycle as much material as possible.

The duration of the lot clearing process depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the work involved. Smaller lots can often be cleared in a day, while larger projects may take several days. Our experienced team uses heavy equipment like skid steers, bulldozers, and excavators to speed up the process without compromising safety or quality.

DreamWorks Tree Services stands out because of our highly skilled team and extensive experience in handling both residential and commercial lot clearing services. We use the right combination of heavy equipment and precision techniques to remove trees, vegetation, and obstacles. Our environmentally friendly practices ensure that your lot is cleared efficiently, and we strive to meet all deadlines while staying within your budget.

Yes. Lot clearing is one of our most requested services across Durham Region and York Region, including Aurora, Uxbridge, Pickering, Ajax, and Whitby, alongside Toronto and the wider GTA. We are based in Uxbridge, which puts our crews and equipment close to sites across both regions. See our Aurora tree care and Uxbridge tree care pages, or request a free on-site quote.

Lot clearing is quoted per site rather than per hour, because no two lots carry the same work. The variables that move a quote are the size of the area being cleared, the number of trees and their trunk diameter, how much equipment access the site allows, the number of stumps and whether they need grinding or full removal, how much material is hauled off versus chipped on site, and whether the municipality requires a permit for any of the trees involved. Our ISA-certified arborists walk the property and price all of it up front. The assessment is free and carries no Obligation.

We provide clear land services throughout Toronto, Vaughan, Uxbridge, and the surrounding Greater Toronto Area, for both residential lots and larger commercial and development sites. Contact us to discuss your project.
