About Us | Acreage Clearing Co.

Maine-Owned & Operated

Based in Maine, serving the whole state

I started Acreage Clearing Co. because I saw the same thing everywhere I looked in this state — overgrown land that property owners wanted to use but couldn't. Old camp lots swallowed by bittersweet. Pastures that hadn't seen a cow in thirty years. Fence lines that hadn't been visible for decades. ATV trails that used to run clear through the back forty, now blocked by alders and scrub.

The tools to fix this existed. The demand was there. What was missing was someone who would show up, do it right, and charge a fair price.

I've spent years working outdoors in Maine and understand this land — the terrain, the invasives, the seasons, and what it means to own property here. This business is built on that knowledge and a commitment to getting the job done without cutting corners.

I run a Bobcat skid steer with a professional forestry mulching head. One machine, operated by me. No subcontractors, no crews I can't vouch for. When you hire Acreage Clearing Co., you get me — and the job gets done right.

"Most of my customers have been trying to solve this problem for years. They've tried hand-cutting, they've gotten quotes from tree services, and they've been told it's too expensive or too complicated. I show up, I clear it in a day, and they can't believe what their land looks like." — Owner, Acreage Clearing Co.

Why This Method

Why Forestry Mulching — and Not a Tree Service

Tree services are great at removing specific trees. They're expensive and slow at clearing land. A crew with chainsaws, a chipper, and dump trucks might spend three days clearing an acre — and leave you a bill for $10,000–$15,000.

A forestry mulcher does the same acre in half a day for a fraction of the cost. Everything — trees, stumps, brush, invasives — is processed in one pass and left as mulch on your property. No hauling. No burning. No waiting for a crew of five to coordinate schedules.

It's not the right tool for every job. If you need a specific tree removed close to your house, call a tree service. If you need land cleared, call us.

Why Maine

This Business Was Built for Maine

Maine isn't Ohio. The invasives are different, the terrain is different, and the land ownership patterns are different. Here's what makes Maine a unique market for this service — and why generic land clearing companies miss the mark.

The Invasive Species Problem

Maine has 33 regulated invasive plants. Oriental bittersweet, Japanese barberry, glossy buckthorn, and multiflora rose are spreading across the state. Japanese barberry alone creates habitat for up to 120 infected Lyme ticks per acre. This isn't an aesthetic issue — it's a public health and land management issue. Forestry mulching is one of the most effective mechanical control methods available.

The Old Farm & Camp Property Stock

Roughly 90% of Maine's land is forested — more than any other eastern state. Tens of thousands of old farms, abandoned pastures, and inherited camp lots are actively reverting to brush. These properties often haven't been touched in 20–30 years. One day of mulching work can transform them.

ATV & Snowmobile Culture

Maine has one of the most active ATV and snowmobile trail networks in the country. Private landowners are constantly opening new trails, maintaining existing ones, and creating access on hunting land. Trail cutting is a year-round revenue driver that other states don't have to the same degree.
