Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does land clearing cost in Portland, OR?

Land clearing costs in Portland typically range from $1,500 for a small residential lot to $15,000+ for large acreage, depending on tree density, slope, access, and disposal method. Forestry mulching (no haul-away) is usually the most cost-effective option. We provide free, no-obligation written quotes after a site visit.

Permits are often required, especially for properties within City of Portland limits, near wetlands, or on steep slopes. Properties in certain tree-protection zones require a Type II or Type III tree removal permit. We guide you through the permitting process at no extra charge.

A standard residential lot (under 1 acre) typically takes 1–3 days. Larger parcels of 5–20 acres may take 1–2 weeks depending on vegetation density. We provide a detailed timeline in every written quote.

We offer three options: (1) Forestry mulching — trees and brush are ground into natural mulch on site, no hauling needed; (2) Haul-away to certified Oregon facilities; (3) Timber salvage for larger marketable logs.
