Land clearing

Probably the best thing to do is call around to companies that offer this type service in your area and get quotes from them.

You likely won't get anything accurate on here due to not knowing how thick your property is with stuff you want cleared or the layout of the land.

Do you want it just knocked down and piled up to burn yourself or have it all hauled off???? Naturally, the latter option will cost considerably more and require more equipment and man hours.

Get someone with a mulcher

That doesn’t clear anything. It just cuts it down and it all comes right back . It’s makes a mess . A dozer and excavator will get the trees, roots , and stumps out.

Unless you have a purpose for the land after clearing, I'd advise against just clearing it for clearing its sake.

About 40 years ago I looked at some land in Miss. that was being sold for $400 an acre in 40 acre tracts and it was heavily wooded with nice rolling hills. The caveat to the deal was it was land owned by a timber company and they were selling with their rights reserved to harvest the timber anytime after the sale for a period of 1 year---------so I passed.

Sure enough, I went back up there about 18 months later and they had taken the trees and the land looked like a bomb site. Hardly any trees worth keeping, erosion of hillsides was clearly evident, and debris scattered everywhere. I'm not sure if they ever came back and cleaned up things, but it sure was a mess when I saw it.

I understand your point, but some of the most useless, unnatural and unproductive land in the SE is overstocked, unmanaged closed canopy forestland.
