Lot Clearing & Camp Lot Clearing in Maine

Camp lots in Maine are often on lake or pond frontage, on steep terrain, or in areas with decades of neglect. They frequently have invasive plants (bittersweet, alders), are accessed by rough roads, and may have shoreland zoning requirements. We're familiar with all of these conditions and factor them into every camp lot quote.

It depends on your municipality, the size of the clearing, and the proximity to water. Shoreland zoning rules apply within 75–250 feet of water bodies. Local ordinances in some towns require permits for clearing above a certain acreage. We'll flag any likely permit requirements during your site review — always confirm with your town's code enforcement officer before clearing begins.

The forestry mulcher processes stumps as part of the clearing — they're ground flush to grade along with the trees. You won't need separate stump grinding after we're done.

We clear within the boundaries you specify. If your lot has setback requirements, buffer zones, or shoreland restrictions, we'll respect those. We walk the boundaries with you before starting.

A typical residential or camp building lot (0.5–2 acres) runs $2,000–$6,000 depending on tree density and size. Raw woodland lots are on the higher end; lots with lighter growth are lower. We provide free, site-specific quotes.

Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we do in Maine. Old camp lots with 20–30 years of growth are exactly what our equipment is built for. We'll walk it with you, let you know what we're dealing with, and give you an honest quote before we start.
