What Our Lot Clearing Service Includes
We focus on clearing trees, brush, and vegetation from residential and building lots the kind of work that prepares your property for construction, landscaping, or better access. Here is exactly what we handle:
What we clear
- Trees of all sizes, from a few problem trees to a fully wooded lot
- Thick brush, underbrush, and overgrown vegetation
- Stumps (ground below surface level)
- Fallen and storm-damaged trees and debris
- Fence lines, property boundaries, and tight access areas
- Selective clearing where you want some trees kept and others removed
What falls outside our scope
We are a tree and lot clearing company, not an excavation or grading contractor. We do not handle large-scale earthmoving, land grading, or major site-grading for commercial developments. If your project needs heavy excavation or grading after the trees and brush are cleared, we are happy to point you toward a trusted partner.
Lot Clearing for Every Kind of Project
Different projects call for different clearing approaches. Here are the most common reasons Knoxville property owners call us:
New Home Construction Lots
Clearing a wooded lot so you can build. We remove trees, brush, and stumps and leave a clean, build-ready site for your foundation crew.
Fence Line Clearing
Clearing overgrown trees and brush along property lines so you can install a fence or reclaim your boundary.
Storm Cleanup and Lot Recovery
Clearing fallen trees, broken limbs, and storm debris to make a damaged lot usable again.
Driveways and Access Roads
Cutting a clear path for a new driveway, access road, or equipment entry onto your property.
View and Selective Clearing
Opening up a view by removing specific trees and vegetation while keeping the trees you want.
Reclaiming Overgrown Property
Turning a neglected, overgrown lot back into clean, usable land whether for landscaping, recreation, or resale.
Lot Clearing Cost in Knoxville, TN
The cost of lot clearing services depends on several factors related to the size and condition of the property. Because every lot is different, pricing is usually determined after evaluating the land and the amount of work required.
Lot size
The total square footage of your lot directly affects the time, labor, and equipment needed. A quarter-acre lot clears in a fraction of the time a full acre takes.
Number and size of trees
A lot with a few small trees is a quick job, while one packed with mature hardwoods requires more crew, equipment, and careful removal, raising the overall cost.
Brush density
Light scrub and scattered growth clear quickly, but thick, tangled underbrush takes far more time and specialized equipment to cut through and remove completely from your property.
Terrain and access
Flat, open lots with easy equipment access are the most affordable to clear. Steep slopes, uneven ground, or tight access points add time and increase the price.
Stump removal
Grinding stumps below ground level adds to the scope of the job. If you plan to build or landscape, removing the stumps is worth including in your estimate.
Debris handling
Hauling away every branch, log, and pile of brush is included in our price from the start. Some companies charge extra for cleanup and disposal. We never do.
Get a Custom Estimate
Because every lot is different, the only way to get an accurate price is an on-site walkthrough. We provide free estimates — no commitment, no pressure, just an honest price based on what your lot actually needs. Call (423) 519-7484 to schedule yours.
How Our Lot Clearing Process Works
We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.
Step 1
On-Site Walkthrough and Estimate
We visit your property, assess the trees, brush, terrain, and access, and discuss your goals. Then we give you a clear written estimate.
Step 2
Clearing Plan
We map out the safest, most efficient way to clear your lot which trees come down first, where equipment goes, and how we protect anything you want to keep.
Step 3
Tree and Brush Removal
Our crew removes the trees, clears the brush and underbrush, and works through the lot systematically, protecting surrounding property the whole way.
Step 4
Stump Grinding and Debris Removal
We grind stumps below ground level and haul away all debris branches, brush, logs, everything.
Step 5
Final Cleanup and Walkthrough
We rake the site, do a final walkthrough with you, and make sure your lot is clean, level, and ready for whatever comes next.

Our Clients Love Us!
Here's What They Say
Chris White and his crew removed a large tree, sitting closely between two houses, for us today. I was so impressed with the whole process. They brought the tree down slowly so our yard was basically untouched. The guys cleaned up everything down to the last twig. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris White to everyone who needs tree service. You won’t find anyone better to do the job!
Chris and his crew took care of tree work for me and did an excellent job. They were able to take down large trees in a difficult location and finish the job safely. I highly recommend them for your next tree job.
We had a large tree go down overnight due to high winds. Fortunately it did not hit the house, but still caused damage and blocked the driveway. One call to White’s this morning, Chris came out to give us an estimate which was competitive. The crew was out within 30 minutes. They did an excellent job, even had a stump grinder called in to assist. The tree was taken down, all the debris cleaned up and hauled away. Excellent service, polite, they take pride in their work, would highly recommend.
We are so happy we found this tree company. Sent message over the weekend after losing massive, well over 100 year old Oak tree in our yard. They quickly responded, out the next day for estimate then early show the following day. Professional from start to finish. I pointed out a couple more trees and will absolutely be contacting this tree company for all tree related issues. Hard finding such a reliable professional company like this!!
We have had Chris take down trees that looked like they were going fall and he and his crew did a great job . Another time we needed him when a storm knocked down a huge tree across the road and he came out quickly to get that mess cleaned up. He has always been very reasonably priced!
This guy’s tree work is top-notch-my yard’s never looked better. And the firewood? Burns like a dream, stacks perfect, and delivers a grin with every log. Sure, he won’t haul freebies, but why would you want handouts when you get quality like this?
These guys are great! I had a huge tree fall from my shoreline across to the other side of the cove which blocked all boats from exiting the cove. Chris came in with a plan and made it happen quickly and removed the tree out of the water. It was amazing, quick and efficient and a ton cheaper than the alternative of a barge and crane coming in.
If you need trees cut look no farther! These gentlemen are extremely professional very polite and courteous. Their price and service are unmatched in this area especially if you need trees cut in and around a golf course. As with all trees that are of any size some damage to ones yard might occur. It's the nature of the job. Well Whites tree services assured me they would fix any problem that occurred. Which they did with great care to the point I can't tell they were back there!!! But, the trees are gone. Perfect job and great company!! Thanks again such a blessing
