General Pricing Information

Pricing for land clearing in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin can vary based

on several factors. Here’s a breakdown of how pricing is typically determined:

1. Size of the Area – The larger the area to be cleared, the more resources and

time required, influencing the cost. Prices are usually calculated per acre or per

square foot.

2. Type of Vegetation – The density and type of vegetation to be cleared will affect

pricing. Clearing brush and small trees is usually less expensive than removing

large, mature trees.

3. Terrain and Accessibility – The ease of access to the land can influence the

cost. If the area is difficult to reach or has uneven terrain, additional equipment or

labor may be needed.

4. Location – Proximity to urban areas or specific geographic conditions in

Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin can impact costs. Remote or

challenging locations may increase costs due to transportation or logistical

needs.

5. Regulatory Permits – If permits or environmental assessments are required,

this can add additional costs. Certain regulations in specific regions can impact

how much land clearing is allowed or how it must be done.

6. Equipment and Labor – The type and quantity of equipment needed (e.g.,

bulldozers, mulchers, chainsaws) will factor into the price, as will the number of

workers required for the job.

7. Disposal of Debris – Costs associated with hauling away cleared materials like

logs, brush, and stumps can be a significant part of the overall cost, depending

on the disposal method.

8. Additional Services – If additional services like stump grinding, soil preparation,

or seeding are needed, this will increase the overall price.

General Price Ranges:

 Land clearing can range from $500 to $2,000 per acre, depending on the factors

mentioned above.

 If large trees are involved or there’s significant debris, the cost may be higher,

potentially up to $5,000 to $10,000 per acre in some cases.
