What Does Land Clearing Include?

Land clearing covers more than just cutting down trees. A full-service clear-out typically includes tree felling, stump grinding, brush removal, grading preparation, and debris chipping or hauling. For property owners in St. Louis, MO, the scope of work can vary widely depending on lot size, tree density, and how the land will be used next. County Tree Service handles all of it with the right equipment and an experienced crew that knows how to work efficiently on both tight residential lots and larger commercial parcels.

Residential vs. Commercial Land Clearing

Residential projects often involve preparing a yard for a new structure, pool, fence line, or landscaping overhaul. Lots in suburbs like Chesterfield, Fenton, and Valley Park may carry a mix of mature oaks, elms, and understory brush that needs full removal before construction can begin.

Commercial work tends to be larger in scale. Developers and contractors working across St. Louis County, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County may need multiple acres cleared on a tight timeline. County Tree Service has the equipment to handle large-scale jobs and can work with project managers to coordinate phased clearing when needed.



Both project types may require permits. Some municipalities in the St. Louis metro area, including those in St. Louis County, require a permit before significant tree removal. The team can advise you on what may apply to your specific parcel before work begins.

Our Process

Getting a site cleared follows a straightforward path.

  1. Schedule a free on-site estimate to review the scope of work.
  2. Confirm permit requirements for your municipality or county.
  3. Fell and remove all targeted trees safely using professional-grade equipment.
  4. Grind stumps flush with the ground or below grade as needed.
  5. Chip, haul, or process debris to leave the site ready for its next use.


Every step is handled by an insured, experienced crew. The team also handles tree removal as a standalone service if only select trees need to come down rather than a full-site clear.
