Land Clearing & Forestry Mulching in Western Kentucky

Full land clearing — trees dropped and removed or burned, stumps grubbed, ground left build-ready — starts at $2,700 and is priced per project in Western Kentucky depending on timber density and what happens to the debris. Forestry mulching, where brush and small trees are mulched in place, is priced per project from $2,700. Every clearing job is quoted after a site walk.

Mulching grinds brush and small trees where they stand and leaves the ground covered in mulch — fast, no burn piles, no haul-off, great for overgrown acreage, trails, and fence lines. Land clearing removes everything including stumps and roots, leaving ground you can build on. Both are priced per project from $2,700, quoted after a site walk.

Roughly 1–1.5 acres of medium brush per machine day in our area — light growth runs faster, heavy growth with larger stems slower. A machine day is $2,400 with a $2,700 project minimum, and multi-day jobs are scheduled as booked blocks.

For most private land clearing in Western Kentucky, no state permit is required, though stream crossings, wetlands, and larger disturbed areas can trigger erosion-control requirements. We flag anything that applies during the site walk — before you commit to anything.
