Land & Lot Clearing Reviews

West Roots was amazing. They took the time to explain what they were going to do to clean up our trees and make our yard more safe. They were very professional and did a great job. Trees look perfect and the cleaned everything up. Yard looked like they were never here.

— Mark M.

West Roots goes above and beyond in their service. Chase and Corey are great people and knowledgable about trees. This company is fairly new and it is evident that they are out to show our community how great they are. My wife and I couldn’t have been more impressed with their service – and clean up afterward was phenomenal.

— Ryan W.
Couldn’t be happier with the job this crew did! They first came out for an emergency situation and were quick to respond, which made a stressful moment so much easier. We ended up having them come back to do additional maintenance work, and they were just as great the second time around. The team was friendly, respectful of the property, and left the yard spotless.
— Megan B.

Cory and Chase removed two monster trees from our backyard in just a day and a half. They cut wood for me for the fire pit and hauled out a trailer from the backyard trapped by the fence They did a great job and it was impressive how they had to land huge branches and tree trunks to keep from damaging other trees and bushes. I highly recommend this company!

— Brian E.

The guys at West Roots did an amazing job on a large oak I needed down in my back yard. There wasn’t a stick or leaf left after they completed the job. Will definitely use them in the future for any work I need done. Really impressed.

— Chad R.

They did a great job. Communication was timely and clear. Project was completed and they cleaned up the site very nicely.

Common Questions About Land & Lot Clearing

It depends on the property and the goal. A full residential lot clearing typically includes felling and removing trees, grinding stumps, clearing brush and undergrowth, and hauling away debris. We’ll walk through exactly what’s included (and what isn’t) during the estimate so there are no surprises.

Yes. Not every clearing job involves the entire lot. If you want to open up a specific area, clear a fence line, or remove overgrowth from one section of your yard, we can scope the job accordingly.

Yes. Debris removal is part of most clearing jobs. If you have a preference about what to keep — firewood, or raw chips for example — just let us know and we’ll work around that.

Absolutely. Many clearing projects include multiple services. We’ll include everything in a single estimate so you know the full scope and cost upfront.

It depends on the size of the property and the density of what needs to be removed. Most residential lot clearing jobs are completed in a couple  days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate visit.

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the property and have discussed the scope of work, our crew can get started without you on-site. We’ll keep you updated throughout the job.
