Forestry Mulching vs Total Debris Removal in Lexington, KY
Most land clearing contractors in Lexington offer standard forestry mulching, which grinds brush into wood chips and leaves them on your land. At CROWN Clearing & Removal, we load and haul all material away so your ground is clean, level, and ready to use.
Forestry mulching
Standard Forestry Mulching (Chips Left On-Site)
A mulching attachment grinds standing brush, briars, and small trees directly where they stand, leaving a layer of heavy wood chips across your property. Nothing is loaded, nothing is hauled off, and no dumpster fees are incurred.
Best Used For: Large undeveloped acreage, rough trail clearing, or land where ground usability, mowing, or construction is not an immediate priority.
How we do it

Land Clearing Services in Lexington, KYThe questions we get asked
Mostly about what happens to the material, and what it costs.
Not sure which job yours is?
Send a photo from the street or the property line. We'll tell you which tier it lands in and what it would take.
(859) 213-6077Do you mulch it in place or haul it away?
We haul it away. That is the main difference between us and a forestry mulching outfit: mulching grinds the brush and leaves the chips on your ground, which is a field of wood chips you still have to live with. We run our own trucks and dumpsters, so the material leaves the property and you get ground you can actually use.
What does land clearing include?
Brush, weeds, vines and thorny undergrowth; small trees under roughly 20 feet; grinding the stumps those trees leave; and clearing along fence lines, driveways and property lines. The cleared material is loaded and hauled off, the site is left clean, and we walk it with you before we go.
How much does land clearing cost?
A small residential lot with light brush and undergrowth runs $400 to $1,200. A medium or overgrown lot with dense brush and small trees runs $1,200 to $3,500 and up. Full site preparation is quoted on the plan. What moves the number is property size, vegetation density, how accessible the ground is, and whether the material is hauled away. We work to a job minimum and we only charge for work completed.
Do you grind stumps?
Yes. Stump grinding is part of the tree removal work rather than a separate trade you have to book. We take trees under roughly 20 feet and grind the stumps they leave. Anything taller is a job for a tree service, and we will say so rather than take it on.
How long does a typical land clearing job take?
It depends on the size of the ground, how dense the growth is and how easily we can get equipment to it, which is why we give you the time along with the price rather than guessing at it here. Ask when you get your quote and you will get a real window, not a range that suits us.
Do you remove the debris?
Yes. Haul-off is the point of hiring us rather than a mulching service. How much material there is and where it has to go is one of the four things that moves the price, so it is priced into the quote rather than added afterwards.
Do I need to be there while you work?
No. Plenty of the land clearing we do is for people who live out of state, are selling a property, or have inherited one. We can quote from photos, agree the plan with you, and send you the walkthrough photos at the end.
Which areas do you serve for land clearing?
Lexington, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Richmond, Frankfort, Winchester, Versailles and Paris, along with the surrounding Fayette, Scott, Jessamine, Madison, Franklin, Clark, Woodford and Bourbon county areas. The ZIP codes we cover are listed above. If you are just outside, send your ZIP and we will tell you straight.
