Or more.

Likely more


Depends on the size/quantity of the trees, my pull a number from my rearend guess is $6,000-10,000 for a construction entrance and clearing
That’ll depend if debris can be burned on site or hauled off.

SouthBama if possible you should try to keep a few big trees that won’t damage the house and can be worked around.
For the trees that come down if they’re anything good or useful try to incorporate them into the home build.

We’re having a fire place mantle made from a red oak that was cut down at our house

I absolutely loathe trees for everything but shade, and I’m not sure if the benefit outweighs the negatives lol. It’s all younger pines and I doubt I’d want to keep any. Don’t own the lot yet, just trying to throw rough numbers together to see what our options are if we purchase.


Sounds like it’s scrubby and junk trees, I would remove them all in that case.

Something I would recommend is a 40’ property entrance.
Obviously check with your city/county to be sure that’s acceptable.
