From time to time, homeowners and commercial property managers find it necessary to clear a plot of land or alter it to suit their needs. Maybe you need a grove of trees and brush removed so you can install more attractive landscaping, or perhaps you need the land regraded to accommodate a new construction project. In either case, it’s important to work with a group of lot-clearing pros who can achieve the kind of results you deserve. That’s exactly what you get when you rely on Trimmed Up Trees — professional site work from a team of lot-clearing experts.
Lot clearing, regrading, and other kinds of site work may seem low-risk and mundane, but they’re actually complicated projects that can have long-lasting impacts on your property. When it is not carried out properly and in accordance with established industry practices, homeowners and property managers often find themselves having to hire another crew to address the mistakes low-quality service providers often make. In some cases, unqualified site work teams even create safety issues.
But you don’t have to worry about these kinds of things when you rely on the lot-clearing and site work experts at Trimmed Up Trees.

We’ve been serving the Atwood, Illinois community since 2013; let us help transform your property and make it suitable for your needs.
Property owners often have different goals with regard to their lot-clearing needs, so we always develop a tailored plan of attack for every project. However, some of the most common lot-clearing services we offer include those detailed below.
We clear footprints for homes, detached garages, or other property additions while carefully preserving any trees you’d like to retain. This approach ensures your property will be ready for your new construction project without sacrificing the long-term value and health of key trees on the property.
We remove undesirable trees; invasive species like honeysuckle, autumn olive, and buckthorn; and dense thickets that limit access and visibility. This process will help open up your property, while improving its value, appearance, and your ability to use it the way you’d like.
We can remove poor-quality, slow-growing, or structurally inferior trees from your property to reduce competition and improve overall structure of the stand. This allows your high-value and legacy trees to thrive while enhancing the overall visual appeal of your landscape.
We provide full-service removal and processing of all organic material generated during lot-clearing operations. This will leave the site clean, accessible, and ready for the next phase of construction, while alleviating the need to hire additional contractors or incur further expenses.
When you need a lot cleared or any kind of site work carried out, it’s important to rely on a team of true professionals. That’s the only way to be sure you’ll be treated fairly and that the work will meet your expectations.

Still have questions about our lot-clearing services or site work in general? We’ve rounded up a few of the most common questions our customers have and answered them below.
Lot clearing generally costs about $1,500 to $4,500 per acre, depending on the site conditions and your goals. However, the prices can range up into the $6,000 or more range for heavily wooded lots.
The absolute cheapest way to clear land is by doing it yourself with nothing but hand tools. However, that’s not really practical for properties of any size. You can try to rent heavy equipment if you’re qualified to operate it, but that’ll rarely yield the same kind of results that professional site work teams will achieve.
The best piece of equipment for land clearing depends on a variety of factors. Excavators are often useful for clearing land that has a lot of medium-sized trees, while bulldozers are effective for land with smaller trees. Forest mulchers, on the other hand, are ideal for situations in which you want to leave the vegetative material on site.
Depending on the site conditions, overall project goals, and type of vegetation present, it usually takes between one and five days to clear an acre of land with an excavator.
Theoretically, property owners can try to clear land by themselves, but it rarely works out as well as they envisioned. Land clearing typically requires the use of heavy machinery, which few property owners are qualified to operate. This means you’ll have to use hand tools, which will require a considerable amount of labor and time.
When operated by a skilled technician, a forestry mulcher can clear one acre in about one to two days. However, the site conditions and accessibility factors will play a role in determining how quickly the project is completed.
Yes, in many cases you can use a bulldozer to clear land. However, bulldozers aren’t always effective for removing large trees or stumps. This is why site-clearance professionals often use multiple types of heavy equipment.
