Lot and Land Clearing in Poughkeepsie and Dutchess County

Before a house goes up, a driveway is cut in or a pool is dug, the lot has to be cleared. That means brush, saplings and often large trees. Done carelessly, it also damages the trees you wanted to keep and the neighbor’s fence.

Arbor Heights Tree & Landscaping clears lots across Dutchess County, from Pleasant Valley and Lagrangeville to Fishkill and Hyde Park. We take down trees with rigging and a crane where needed, chip the brush and haul away what has to go. Estimates are free, and we are licensed and insured.

What We Clear

  • Brush and Undergrowth: Scrub, vines and invasive growth cut and chipped.
  • Standing Trees: Trees taken down where there is room and dismantled in sections where there is not.
  • Driveway and Pool Footprints: The area for a new driveway, pool or outbuilding opened up to the size you need.
  • Storm Debris and Dead Timber: Downed limbs and dead standing trees cleared away.

Selective or Full Clearing

Not every lot should be cleared bare. We walk it with you and mark the trees worth keeping, then work around them. If the project needs an open site, everything inside the work area comes out.

Check the rules first. Clearing near wetlands, streams or steep slopes can be regulated, and so can work on larger parcels in some towns. Requirements differ between municipalities. We help you work out who to ask before cutting begins, and the owner confirms what applies.

How a Clearing Job Goes

  1. Site Walk

    We walk the boundaries, flag trees to keep and check access for equipment.

  2. Written Estimate

    You get a free, itemized estimate with transparent pricing.

  3. Cutting and Dismantling

    Brush is cut and trees are felled or rigged down, with a crane for the large ones.

  4. Chip, Haul and Clean

    Brush is chipped, logs are hauled or cut to length for you, and the ground is cleaned up.
