Lot clearing takes a building lot or a parcel down to workable ground. We clear the trees and brush where a home, a shop, a barn or a driveway will go. The stumps come out with the excavator, roots and all. It is one part of our land clearing work around Parker, Kansas.
We clear lots for people building on rural ground, and for builders and businesses that need a site opened up. After the clearing, site preparation levels the ground and cuts in the access. Lot clearing also fits a parcel you plan to sell. Call or text (620) 252-9314 to set up a look at your lot.
Tell us what the land needs and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
Every lot clearing job starts with a look at the lot. We check the trees and the ground before we price the work. Then the quote comes to you in writing.
On the job, the excavator takes out the trees and lifts each stump from the ground. Brush and small trees get piled on site or mulched in place. Volunteer cedars and saplings come out with the rest.
We take lot clearing jobs across Linn County and the counties around it, within about 60 miles of Parker. That reaches from Fort Scott and Iola up to the south side of the Kansas City metro. See the full list of towns we serve around Parker.
Stump grinding belongs to another trade. On a lot we clear, the excavator lifts the whole stump out, root ball included. Site prep then levels the holes along with the rest of the cleared ground.
Building codes care about what sits under a house. Under a slab floor, the International Residential Code calls for vegetation and topsoil to come out inside the foundation walls. Miami County has adopted that code for the parts of the county outside city limits. Your county or city building office can tell you which code covers your lot.
Pulling a stump moves earth below the surface, so Kansas law counts it as excavation. The law calls for notice through Kansas 811 at least two full working days before digging starts. Utilities only have to mark their own lines. Tell us where any private line runs, such as power to a shop or a well.
In Linn County, building permits and flood zone questions go to the Planning and Zoning office. A lot near a creek is worth a call to that office first. Other counties and cities have their own offices, and we can point you to the right one.
Bigger clearings can bring one more rule. Under the federal Clean Water Act, construction that disturbs one acre or more generally needs a stormwater permit. In Kansas, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment runs that permit program. A smaller lot inside a larger development can need one too.
