Land clearing in Tulsa and northeast Oklahoma

Land clearing takes trees out of the ground completely. The tree, the root ball and the stump are grubbed out, so nothing is left to sprout back. It is the right job for a house site, a shop pad, a driveway, and for thorn trees.

What it is

Grubbing means digging the tree out by the root instead of cutting it off at the ground. The stump and the root ball come out with it, and the ground is left clean enough to build on or work.

What it is good for

  • House sites and shop pads, where stumps and roots left in the ground cause trouble later.
  • Driveways and access roads through timber. We also build the road.
  • Thorn trees. Cut off at the ground they sprout back, so the whole tree comes out by the root.
  • Stumps and root balls left behind from earlier clearing.

What happens to the trees

Piling the grubbed trees up and burning them on the property is an option on every clearing job. On a recent job in Sperry, a pasture full of thorn trees and cedars was grubbed out, piled and burned, and the ground was left open.

Clearing or mulching?

If you want the trees gone and do not need the roots out, forestry mulching is usually the lighter touch: brush, cedars and small trees ground into mulch where they stand, with the ground left undisturbed.

If the roots have to come out, it is land clearing. We do both, and many jobs are some of each. We will tell you which is which when we look at it.

Questions

What people ask.

What is the difference between land clearing and forestry mulching?

Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees into mulch where they stand and leaves the roots in the ground. Land clearing grubs the whole tree out, root ball and stump included, so it does not come back.

Do you pull stumps?

Yes. Pulling stumps and root balls is part of land clearing.

What do you do with the trees once they are out?

Piling them up and burning them on the property is an option for all the trees we grub. We go over it with you when we look at the ground.

Why do thorn trees have to be grubbed?

Because they sprout back when they are only cut off at the ground. Taking the tree out by the root is what keeps it from coming back.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the ground: how thick it is, how big the area is and how easy it is to get to. Quotes are free. Call or text (918) 344-7001 with a few photos and where the property is, and we will look at it with you and give you a written price.
