get a free estimateEvery land-clearing project has a different goal. Some customers need several trees removed for a garage or driveway, while others need larger portions of wooded property cleared for a home, cabin, commercial building, or other construction project.
Before work begins, Nic's Works evaluates what needs to be removed, what should remain, equipment access, terrain, nearby structures, and the intended use of the site so the clearing plan fits the property and project.
Our land and lot clearing services can include tree removal, small-tree removal, brush and sapling clearing, selective clearing, stump grinding, chipping, debris cleanup, and hauling depending on the scope of the project.
We work with homeowners, cabin owners, builders, contractors, businesses, and property owners throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Wooded lots can contain mature trees, smaller trees, brush, saplings, stumps, invasive vegetation, and accumulated debris. Nic's Works provides lot clearing for property owners preparing land for construction or making wooded acreage more usable.
Depending on the project, we can clear an entire building footprint or selectively remove unwanted trees and vegetation while preserving desirable mature trees and the natural character of the property.
Lake lots often require additional planning because of mature trees, narrow driveways, slopes, shorelines, septic systems, landscaping, neighboring properties, and limited equipment access. Nic's Works regularly works on wooded lake homes and cabins throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Whether you are making room for a new cabin, adding a garage, expanding a yard, opening access, or selectively removing trees, we can evaluate the site and develop an appropriate clearing plan.
New construction and property improvements often require more than simply removing a few trees. Clearing may be needed for the building footprint, excavation, driveway access, material delivery, construction equipment, utilities, septic installation, parking areas and future landscaping.
Nic's Works removes individual trees and groups of trees for new homes, cabins, garages, pole buildings, driveways, building pads, utility access, yard expansions and other property improvements throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Having the proposed building footprint, driveway and other work areas marked before clearing begins helps identify which trees and vegetation need to be removed and which can remain. When large trees are close to existing structures or other obstacles, our difficult tree-removal experience allows us to plan a more controlled approach.

Not every project requires clearing everything. Selective land clearing can remove unwanted trees, brush, saplings, or overgrowth while retaining desirable trees for shade, privacy, appearance, and the wooded character of the property.
Dense brush, saplings, shrubs, and invasive vegetation can make portions of a property difficult to use. Clearing unwanted growth can improve access, expand usable yard space, prepare areas for landscaping or construction, and reclaim neglected portions of wooded property.
If invasive buckthorn is a major part of the problem, Nic's Works also provides buckthorn removal.
We look at the clearing area, trees and vegetation, terrain, existing structures, equipment access, and other site conditions.
We determine which areas should be cleared and which trees or property features should remain.
We determine how trees, brush, and vegetation should be removed and what equipment is appropriate for the property.
Our crew removes the agreed-upon trees, brush, and vegetation. Large or difficult trees may require a more controlled tree removal process.
If included in the project, stumps can be ground and tree debris chipped, staged, or hauled away according to the agreed scope of work.

Tree removal usually leaves stumps behind. Depending on the intended use of the cleared area, stump grinding may be needed before landscaping or other property improvements can continue. Nic's Works offers professional stump grinding that can be incorporated into many clearing projects.
Land clearing can generate tree trunks, branches, brush, wood chips, stumps, and other organic debris. Cleanup, chipping, hauling, and debris-handling options can be discussed as part of the estimate so you know what will remain on the property and what will be removed.
Land-clearing cost depends on the size of the area, number and size of trees, vegetation density, terrain, slopes, equipment access, proximity to structures, stump work, debris hauling, cleanup requirements, and overall difficulty. A lightly wooded area with good access requires very different work than a heavily wooded lake lot with mature trees and limited access.
