About This Service
Lot & Land Clearing in Port Severn
Preparing land for construction, agriculture, or fire mitigation requires more than just cutting trees. It requires a coordinated plan that accounts for erosion control, debris management, root system removal, and environmental compliance. Axe & Wedge Tree Works brings the equipment, expertise, and local knowledge to get the job done right.
We handle full-spectrum clearing operations: felling and processing trees, grinding stumps to below-grade, clearing brush and undergrowth, and grubbing out root systems where necessary. Our fleet includes high-capacity wood chippers, stump grinders, and forestry mulching equipment, allowing us to process large volumes of material quickly and efficiently.
For residential lot clearing, we work closely with homeowners and contractors to define precise clearing boundaries, protecting mature trees you want to keep while efficiently removing everything else. We understand local municipal bylaws regarding tree removal permits and will advise you on compliance requirements before work begins.
We also offer fire mitigation clearing services, creating defensible space around structures by removing dead wood, ladder fuels, and overly dense vegetation. Whether your project is half an acre or fifty, we have the crew and equipment to deliver a clean, cleared site on schedule.

Common Questions About Lot & Land Clearing in Port Severn
Do I need a permit to clear trees on my property in Simcoe County?
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Barrie, Collingwood, and other urban centres have tree removal bylaws that may require permits for trees above a certain diameter. We are familiar with local regulations and will advise you on compliance requirements before any work begins.
How long does lot clearing take?
A typical residential lot (half to one acre) can be cleared in one to two days with our full crew and equipment. Larger parcels or sites with significant brush and stumps may take longer. We provide a realistic timeline in your written quote.
What happens to the trees and debris after clearing?
All trees are felled and processed on site. Brush and branches are chipped and can be spread as mulch, piled for your use, or hauled away. Logs can be bucked for firewood or removed. Stumps are ground below grade. We leave the site clean and ready for your next step.
How much does lot clearing cost per acre?
Costs vary significantly based on tree density, species, terrain, and whether stump grinding is included. A lightly wooded acre may cost $3,000–$5,000, while heavily treed or difficult-access sites can run higher. We provide free on-site estimates with a detailed breakdown so there are no surprises.
Is stump grinding included in lot clearing?
Stump grinding is available as part of our lot clearing service and is included in most full-clearing quotes. If you only need trees felled and chipped without stump removal, we can adjust the scope accordingly. We will clarify what is included in your written quote.
Can you clear land in winter?
Yes. Winter is actually an excellent time for lot clearing in Ontario. Frozen ground reduces soil compaction and rutting from heavy equipment, and the absence of foliage makes it easier to assess tree structure. We operate year-round and can schedule clearing projects in any season.
