01Methods
Selective clearing keeps good trees and removes brush and weak ones. Forestry mulching grinds brush in place. Full clearing removes trees, stumps and roots and grades the ground. Our photos show a wooded lot opened into a yard and graded ground afterward.
02Plan first
Mark trees to keep, check property lines, and think about erosion on slopes. Ask about runoff toward neighbors.

03After clearing

Seed or mulch quickly to hold soil. See stump grinding for leftover stumps.
