Comprehensive Lot & Land Clearing in Salinas Valley
Whether you have acquired a vacant lot for a new home, need to prepare acreage for agricultural use, or must clear overgrown vegetation to meet fire safety requirements, The Tree Man delivers complete lot clearance services throughout Salinas Valley and Monterey County. With over four decades of experience working on properties ranging from quarter-acre residential parcels to multi-acre commercial and agricultural sites, we have the equipment, the crew, and the know-how to transform even the most overgrown land into clean, buildable, or farmable ground.
Our lot clearance process begins with a comprehensive site assessment where we walk the property with you, identify which trees and vegetation need to go (and which can stay), and develop a clearing plan that matches your end goals. For residential development projects, we remove trees, grind stumps, clear brush, and leave the lot graded and ready for surveyors and builders. For agricultural conversions — a common need across the Salinas Valley's rich farmland corridor — we clear trees, roots, and brush down to bare soil, making the land ready for tilling, planting, or irrigation installation.
We understand that lot clearance in Monterey County often involves navigating local environmental regulations, particularly when oak trees, riparian corridors, or sensitive habitat areas are present. Our team has extensive experience working within these guidelines and can advise you on which permits may be required before work begins. We coordinate with county planning departments and environmental consultants as needed, ensuring that your project moves forward without costly delays or compliance issues.
Every lot clearance project by The Tree Man includes complete debris management. We chip brush on-site, haul away all wood and green waste, grind every stump, and leave the property in the condition you need for the next phase of your project. For clients preparing land for grading contractors, we clear to spec so there is no wasted time or rework when earth-moving equipment arrives. Our CA License #546796, comprehensive insurance coverage, and 40+ year track record give property owners, developers, and agricultural operators the confidence that the job will be done right, on time, and on budget.
