Ballard’s Acres & Excavating handles land clearing and tree removal across seven Northeast Ohio counties.

Services include full lot clearing, tree and stump removal, brush clearing, and land prep for new builds, pasture, and food plots.

Full Lot Clearing

A full lot clear is the work that gets land from its natural state to ready-to-build. That includes removing trees, brush, stumps, and any existing debris, then rough-grading the site so the next crew can work clean. We handle the disposal: hauling, burning where it’s legal, or chipping on site depending on what makes sense for the property.

Tree & Stump Removal

For individual trees, we handle removal from the cut down through the stump out. Stumps can be ground down (cheaper, faster, leaves the root system in place) or fully excavated (more expensive, removes the whole root ball, required for sites that are going to be built on). We’ll tell you which one your situation calls for.

Brush & Undergrowth Clearing

A lot of rural property has a layer of brush, scrub, and overgrowth that’s not technically forest but isn’t usable land either. We clear it back to whatever level the property owner wants, whether that’s full bare ground or just opening up sight lines and access.

Land Prep for Construction

Once a site is cleared, the next step is rough grading: stripping topsoil, leveling the building area, cutting in access for the build crew, and stockpiling topsoil for restoration after the build. We coordinate with builders and engineers so the site is ready when the foundation work starts.

Land Prep for Farming & Food Plots

Clearing land for agricultural use is a different job than clearing for construction. The goal isn’t bare dirt, it’s usable ground. We clear the woody material, leave the topsoil intact, and grade lightly so the land can be seeded for pasture, hay, or food plots without losing its soil base.

Common Land Clearing Questions

Most land clearing in our service area depends on tree density, terrain, and access. Heavily wooded ground with large mature trees costs more. Open brush and undergrowth costs less. We consistently offer good quality work for a fair price.

Fill out the form below and we’ll come look at the property and give you a real number.

For most clearing on your own property, no. Some jurisdictions have requirements around clearing near wetlands, streams, or environmentally sensitive areas, and timber harvest above certain volumes can trigger reporting requirements. We can walk you through what applies to your situation.

Yes, and we also handle full stump excavation when the site needs it. Stump grinding is cheaper and faster. Full excavation is required when the ground will be built on or when the root system needs to come out completely.

Depends on the property and what makes sense. Options include hauling it off site, burning on site where it’s legal, chipping it for mulch, or stockpiling it for the property owner to use. We talk through the options before we start.

Yes. Clearing for agricultural use is different than clearing for construction. We remove the woody material, leave the topsoil intact, and grade lightly so the land can be seeded.
