Lot & Land Clearing in Buffalo & Western New York

Overgrown lots, tangled fence lines and self-seeded saplings turn a buildable piece of ground into a project nobody can start. Before a foundation is poured, a driveway is widened or a fence goes in, the brush and standing trees have to come out cleanly.

Skyline Tree Care clears residential and small commercial lots across Buffalo and Western New York, cutting, chipping and hauling brush, scrub and timber so your contractor walks onto a site that is ready to work. The same rigging discipline we use on removals keeps neighboring fences, trees you want to keep and overhead lines out of harm’s way.

What We Clear

  • Brush & Undergrowth: Buckthorn, honeysuckle, sumac and dense scrub cut down and chipped on site.
  • Standing Trees & Saplings: Volunteer trees and unwanted timber felled where there is room, or dismantled in sections where space is tight.
  • Fence Lines & Property Edges: Overgrown boundaries opened up for surveys, new fencing or better sightlines.
  • Storm Debris & Dead Timber: Downed limbs and dead-standing trees removed before they become a pest or safety problem.

Selective Clearing or a Full Clear-Out

Not every lot needs to be cleared bare. We walk the site with you first and mark the trees worth keeping, such as healthy shade trees, privacy screens or specimens that add value to the property, then clear around them. If the project calls for an open site, we take everything down so the ground is ready for grading.

Our Lot Clearing Process

  1. Site Walk & Written Quote

    We confirm property lines, mark trees to keep, check equipment access and give you a firm price.

  2. Utility & Hazard Check

    Overhead lines, buried services and nearby structures are identified before any cutting starts.

  3. Cutting & Dismantling

    Brush is cut, and trees are felled where there is room or rigged down in sections where there is not.

  4. Chipping & Haul-Away

    Brush is chipped, logs are hauled off or left cut to length if you want the firewood, and the ground is raked clean.

  5. Stump Options

    Stumps can be ground below grade or fully extracted, depending on what is being built next.
