Make Land Usable Again From Scratch

Land clearing services for construction, development, and property preparation in Union, Kentucky

If you own land in Union that is overgrown with trees, brush, or invasive plants, the first step toward building, grading, or even maintaining it is removing everything that blocks access and visibility. Thick vegetation hides the actual ground contour, prevents equipment from moving safely, and can harbor pests or dead wood that creates fire risk. Land clearing removes trees, brush, stumps, and invasive species down to bare soil so you can see what you are working with and prepare the site for the next phase of work.

K H Custom handles clearing for residential lots, construction sites, and undeveloped parcels in Union. The work includes cutting down trees, removing brush and vines, grinding or extracting stumps, and hauling away debris. If invasive species such as honeysuckle or multiflora rose have taken over, those are pulled or cut back to prevent regrowth. The cleared site is left level or graded to match project requirements, and organic material can be chipped or removed depending on your plans for the land.

What the clearing process involves and leaves behind

K H Custom starts by walking the property in Union to identify what needs removal, what can stay, and where access routes or staging areas should be set up. Trees are felled directionally to avoid damaging nearby structures or retained vegetation. Brush and vines are cut at the base, and stumps are either ground below grade or pulled depending on what the site will be used for afterward.

Once clearing is complete, you will see the full layout of the land, including slopes, drainage patterns, and soil type. The ground is free of obstructions, and heavy equipment can move across it without hitting hidden roots or trunks. If the site is being prepared for construction, the cleared area provides a clean surface for grading, utility installation, or foundation work.

Debris is either chipped into mulch, hauled offsite, or staged for burning where permitted. Invasive plants are removed entirely to prevent reestablishment. The service does not include grading, seeding, or utility work unless arranged separately, but it does prepare the land to accept those tasks without additional clearing delays.

What to know before clearing begins

Property owners in Union often ask about permit requirements, what happens to debris, and how long clearing takes on different lot sizes. The following questions address the most common concerns before work begins.

What size properties can be cleared?
K H Custom clears residential lots, multi-acre parcels, and construction sites in Union. The timeline and equipment vary by size, but the process remains the same regardless of acreage.
How is debris handled after clearing?
You can choose to have debris chipped into mulch, hauled away, or piled for removal. If burning is allowed under local regulations, staging for burn piles is also an option.
What happens to invasive plants?
Invasive species such as honeysuckle, kudzu, or multiflora rose are cut, pulled, or treated to prevent regrowth. Removal includes root systems when necessary to stop reestablishment.
Why does clearing cost vary by site?
Cost depends on the density of vegetation, the number of trees, accessibility for equipment, and how debris will be handled. A site visit allows K H Custom to assess these factors and provide an accurate estimate.
When should land be cleared before construction?
Clearing should happen before grading, utility installation, or foundation work begins. Scheduling it early in the project timeline prevents delays and allows contractors to assess site conditions accurately.
