How does that compare to other land clearing bids in Utah?

Cleared-acre costs in Utah's mountain corridors commonly run $2,000-$6,500 per acre. Our brackets sit below that range, and we publish them instead of hiding the number behind a quote form. You can compare our published brackets against any bid you get.

What changes the price?

Four things: density of the material, terrain, access, and distance from base. We figure all four when we walk the property and quote you flat.

Why per acre instead of hourly?

Hourly invites slow work. Per-acre flat pricing puts the productivity risk on us, not you. You know your number before we start the machine. We also offer hourly rates ($300/hr, 3-hour minimum) and day rates ($2,300/8hr day) for piecemeal projects.

Is there a minimum job size?

We offer an hourly structure at $300/hr with a 3-hour minimum, plus mobilization charges at any distance from base. This lets us take on projects of any size.

How does stump grinding pricing work?

$7.50 per inch of diameter at ground level, with a $175 minimum. Sprawling surface roots run $12/ft of diameter. Mobilization charges apply over 20 miles from base. Batch jobs get a break.

Do you charge for the estimate?

No. Free, on-site, no obligation. If we're not the right fit we'll tell you who is.

Can you mulch in the winter?

Yes. On valley-floor and bench properties, frozen ground is actually the best footing of the year — the machine travels clean and disturbs less soil and turf. Higher canyon and foothill ground depends on snow, so those jobs usually run late summer through fall.

How our brackets stack up against the Utah market

Getting an acre cleared in Utah’s mountain corridors commonly runs $2,000 to $6,500 once you add up cutting, hauling, and cleanup. Our published brackets sit below that range, because forestry mulching does the whole job in one pass — no haul-off, no burn piles, no separate cleanup crew.

Almost nobody else in this market publishes a number. We do, because you shouldn’t have to sit through a sales visit to find out what the work costs. Full details are on our pricing page, or read up on how land clearing works in Utah.
