What the job includes

Overgrown lots knocked down and cleared — brush mowing, weed removal, and stripping ground back to workable dirt. An overgrown lot has to be cleared before anyone can see what they're actually dealing with. Half the time what's under the weeds changes the plan.

Most of this work happens in the Mini-Cassia towns around the yard - Burley, Rupert, Heyburn, Paul and Declo - and across the Magic Valley in Twin Falls, Kimberly, Filer, Buhl and Jerome. We also run scheduled route days east to American Falls, Pocatello and Idaho Falls for land clearing & brush mowing on acreage and new construction, so a job there gets a real date rather than a maybe.

How we do it

Land Clearing & Brush Mowing, step by step

Mowing versus clearing

Knocking down weeds with a brush cutter gets you a usable lot. Stripping the ground gets you a site you can build on. They're different jobs at different prices, and it's worth being clear which one you need.

What's under the weeds

Old fence wire, buried concrete, irrigation lines and abandoned pipe turn up regularly on ground that's sat. Clearing first is how you find them before they're a problem during excavation.

Fence lines and ditch banks

Fence lines and ditch banks grow in fast and are awkward to reach with anything but a skid steer. Cleared banks also make it a lot easier to see what your irrigation is actually doing.

Debris handling

Cleared material gets piled for burning where that's allowed and the season permits, buried where that's appropriate, or hauled off. We sort out which before we start rather than leaving a pile behind.

Clearing for a build

If clearing is step one of a bigger project, we strip and rough grade in the same trip so the site is ready for pad or foundation work instead of needing a second mobilization.

Seasonal timing

Clearing is easier and cleaner when the ground is dry and firm. Working saturated ground rutted up by equipment creates more repair work than the clearing was worth.

Before you call

What to know before a lot gets cleared

What stays. Trees, fence lines, an old corral you want kept. Walk it with us and flag it before anything gets knocked down.

What is in the brush. Old wire, concrete, a septic lid, a well casing. Overgrown lots hide things and we go slow until we know.

Where the debris goes. Mowed brush can be left to dry and be hauled, or hauled green. Metal and junk go to the dump trailer.

Weeds and noxious species. Some counties want certain weeds handled a particular way. We ask so you are not the one getting the letter.

What comes next. Clearing for a building pad, a pasture, a driveway or just to see the property again changes how far we take it.

Around the valley

Clearing overgrown ground across the region

Sagebrush, Russian olive and the weeds that take over a lot nobody has grazed in five years - that is most of the clearing work from Oakley and Declo out to Buhl. Around Twin Falls, Kimberly and Jerome it is often a lot that was farmed, then sat, and now has a house going on it. Out east in American Falls, Pocatello and Idaho Falls the ground is bigger and the brush is taller. The skid steer with a brush mower handles most of it; the excavator handles the trees, the stumps and whatever the brush was hiding.

Estimates

Free on-site estimates, in writing

Four things set the price on excavation work. We walk the property, look at all four, and hand you one written number before anything gets dug.

AccessCan the excavator and dump trailer get to the work without wrecking the yard? Tight lots and soft ground add time.
Soil and rockMagic Valley ground goes from sandy loam to basalt a foot down. Rock changes the machine, the pace and the price.
Haul-off and materialsDirt hauled away, gravel and road base hauled in, concrete to the recycler. Distance to the pit or the dump sets the cost.
Permits and locatesSeptic permits, inspections and utility locates are part of the job and part of the estimate, not an add-on at the end.

Questions

Land Clearing & Brush Mowing questions

How much does land clearing cost?

It depends on acreage, how heavy the growth is, and what happens to the debris. Brush mowing an overgrown lot and stripping a site to bare dirt are very different numbers.

Can you clear a lot before I build on it?

Yes, and it's worth doing both in one trip. We clear, strip and rough grade so the site is ready for pad or foundation work without a second mobilization.

What happens to the brush and debris?

Piled for burning where allowed, buried where appropriate, or hauled off. We agree on that before the work starts.

Can you remove small trees and stumps?

Yes — small trees, stumps and root balls. Large mature trees are a different job and sometimes need a tree service first.
