What kind of clearing do you need?
Most jobs fall into one of these. Plenty are a mix, like mulching the brush and then pulling stumps where a slab will go.
Forestry mulching
One machine grinds brush and small trees into mulch where they stand. No burn piles, no haul-off.

| Undergrowth under big oaks you want to keep | Selective brush clearing |
| Several acres gone back to woods | Acreage clearing, often mulching plus a dozer |
| Trees and limbs down after a storm | Storm debris cleanup |
| Cleared but rough, rooty or low | Root raking, fill and rough grading |
Why land here grows back so fast
South Louisiana has a long growing season, heavy rain and warm nights for most of the year. A lot that's left alone for a few summers fills in with tallow trees, privet, blackberry and vines, and low spots can stay wet for weeks after a storm.
That's why so many clearing requests around Baton Rouge are second or third clearings: land that was open once and needs taking back. It's also why timing matters. Dry stretches in late summer and fall are when heavy machines move most easily on clay and low ground.
Parishes and towns
Requests go to companies that cover East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Ascension, West Baton Rouge and Iberville parishes, plus nearby towns. Outside these? Send it anyway with your ZIP.
Common questions
How much does land clearing cost around Baton Rouge?
It depends on acreage, how thick the growth is, the size of the trees, how wet the ground is and what you want left behind. Our cost guide explains each factor; a walk-through gets you a real number.
Should I mulch or bulldoze?
Mulching leaves a layer of chips and keeps the topsoil in place; bulldozing pushes everything into piles and leaves bare dirt ready for building. See mulching vs. bulldozer clearing.
Do I need a permit to clear my land?
That depends on your parish, your city, your lot and what's on it. Check with your parish or city before work starts, and ask each company what it usually sees.
Is it free to send a request?
