Lot & Site Clearing in Baton Rouge, LA
Construction-ready lots cleared, grubbed, and prepped on schedule
What Is Lot & Site Clearing?
Lot clearing prepares a raw parcel for construction by removing all vegetation, stumps, and surface debris. Unlike land clearing for agriculture, construction lot clearing typically includes grubbing (root removal) and rough grading to create a stable building pad.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between clearing and grubbing?
- Clearing removes everything above ground. Grubbing removes root systems and organic material below grade — required under building pads and driveways for soil stability.
- Do I need a grading permit?
- Most counties require a grading or land disturbance permit for lots over a certain size (often 1/4 acre). Your contractor should pull the permit before work begins.
- Can trees on the perimeter be preserved?
- Absolutely. Selective clearing is standard practice. Mark trees you want saved, and the crew will work around them.
- How does the price compare to forestry mulching?
- Lot clearing for construction typically costs more than mulching because it includes grubbing, grading, and erosion control. Get quotes for each phase separately.
