Land & Lot Clearing

Why Land Clearing Matters

Whether you are building a new home, expanding your property, or restoring overgrown land, proper clearing is the first step. Land and lot clearing removes trees, brush, stumps, and debris to create a clean slate for your project. This process makes the land safer, more accessible, and ready for whatever comes next.

In Watsonville and the surrounding areas, overgrown vegetation can hide hazards like dead trees, unstable slopes, and pest infestations. Clearing this away not only improves the look of your property but also reduces fire risk and makes future maintenance easier.

At BranchWise Watsonville Tree Services, we provide complete land clearing services for residential and commercial projects. Our team has the equipment and expertise to handle lots of any size, from small backyard projects to multi-acre sites.

What We Clear

Our land clearing services cover everything you need to prepare your property:

• Trees and stumps: We remove all trees, including their root systems, so they do not grow back
• Brush and undergrowth: We clear dense shrubs, weeds, and tangled vegetation
• Fallen limbs and debris: We haul away dead wood, branches, and storm damage
• Vines and invasive plants: We remove aggressive species that choke out native plants
• Rock and root obstacles: We grade and level the land to make it ready for construction
• Fire hazards: We reduce fuel loads to meet fire safety regulations

No matter what is on your land, we can clear it efficiently and safely. We use heavy-duty equipment like excavators, mulchers, and chippers to get the job done right.

Common Reasons for Land Clearing

People clear land for many reasons, and we have experience with all of them:

New Construction

Before you build a home, garage, or addition, the land needs to be cleared and leveled. We work with builders and homeowners to prepare sites for foundation work.

Landscaping Projects

If you are planning a new lawn, garden, or outdoor living space, clearing overgrown areas gives you a fresh start. We can also help with grading and drainage.

Property Restoration

Neglected lots can become overgrown and unsafe over time. We restore properties by removing years of buildup and making them usable again.

Fire Prevention

Clearing brush and dead trees around your home creates defensible space and reduces wildfire risk. This is especially important in areas prone to dry conditions.

Commercial Development

We handle large-scale land clearing for businesses, developers, and property managers. From parking lots to new office buildings, we prepare sites for any commercial use.

Our Land Clearing Process

Here is how we approach every land clearing project:

Step 1: Site Evaluation

We visit your property to assess the scope of work. We identify what needs to be removed, check for utilities, and discuss your goals for the land.

Step 2: Clearing Plan

We create a detailed plan that outlines the timeline, equipment, and methods we will use. We also handle any necessary permits.

Step 3: Vegetation Removal

We clear all trees, brush, and debris using specialized equipment. Large trees are removed safely, and stumps are ground down to prevent regrowth.

Step 4: Grading and Leveling

Once the land is clear, we grade it to create a level surface. This prepares the site for construction or landscaping.

Step 5: Debris Removal

We haul away all wood, branches, and other materials. You can also choose to keep wood chips or mulch for other uses.
