I recently hired ClearCut Land RVA to clear an area in my yard, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Phillip arrived on time, clearly outlined the project scope before work began, and kept me informed every step of the way. He was respectful, professional, and took the time to walk me through the plan, something I truly appreciated. The quality of the work spoke for itself, and his communication throughout the process made everything seamless. If you value professionalism and quality work, I would highly recommend ClearCut Land RVA without hesitation. You won't be disappointed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions.

How much does forestry mulching cost?
Pricing depends on acreage, brush density, and terrain. Most residential jobs run $1,200-$3,500 per acre. We price by the project -- not by the hour or day -- so you know exactly what to expect upfront.
How long will my project take?
Most residential properties are completed in 1-2 days. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer, but we provide a clear timeline with your quote.
Will your equipment damage my property?
Our machines use steel tracks that distribute weight evenly, minimizing ground disturbance. We take every precaution to protect your property and existing trees you want to keep.
What happens to all the brush?
Everything gets ground into fine mulch right where it stands. The mulch stays on-site, decomposes naturally, and returns nutrients to the soil. No burning, no hauling, no debris piles.
Do you remove large trees?
We handle brush, saplings, and trees up to about 8 inches in diameter. For larger trees, we partner with licensed tree services and can coordinate that work for you.
Will the brush grow back?
Some regrowth is natural, but mulching significantly slows it by grinding root systems. Many clients plant grass or clover after clearing. We also offer guidance on managing invasive species long-term.
Can you fix yard drainage problems?
Yes. We install French drains, catch basins, channel drains, and buried downspout lines, and we regrade yards to solve standing water, soggy spots, and erosion. Central Virginia clay soil drains poorly, so this is one of the most common calls we get. We handle exterior drainage and grading, not interior basement waterproofing or foundation repair.
Do you do excavation and grading?
Yes. We handle stump removal and grubbing, lot leveling, building and shed pads, driveway grading and gravel reclaiming, trenching, and build-ready site work using our CAT 306 excavator alongside the skid steer. Because we run both machines, clearing and grading can happen on the same property without bringing in a second contractor.
What areas do you serve for excavation and drainage?
The same service area as our clearing work: Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent, Louisa, and surrounding Central Virginia counties.
