WHAT SPENCER'S CLEARS

How Much Does Land Clearing Cost per Acre in Northern Kentucky?

BRUSH HOGGING, STUMP REMOVAL, AND OVERGROWTH CLEARING

Land clearing is usually step one before something else gets built. A property owner wants to put up a shed but the back acre is grown over. A builder needs a buildable pad on a wooded lot. A farmer wants the back field cut down so cattle have grass. Spencer’s runs the Bobcat T66 with a rotary cutter attachment for brush hogging and a grapple attachment for tree and stump removal, which means one machine handles overgrowth, saplings, briar patches, fallen limbs, and stump grinding without a separate forestry contractor.

Most clearing jobs in Grant, Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties involve some combination of bush hogging a field, removing scrub trees, grinding old stumps below grade, and rough grading the cleared area. Spencer’s coordinates the workflow so the same crew that clears the lot can follow up with excavation, drainage, or concrete pad work on the same site without a schedule gap.

  • Tree, sapling, and stump removal
  • Overgrowth and briar patch clearing
  • Stump grinding below grade

LAND CLEARING QUESTIONS

Bush hogging cuts grass, weeds, saplings up to 2 inches in diameter, and light brush. The Bobcat T66 with a rotary cutter handles bush hogging at a working pace of about an acre per hour depending on density. Land clearing is the bigger job: removing trees, grinding stumps, hauling debris, and rough grading the cleared area to a usable surface. Spencer’s does both, often on the same property.
A typical day of bush hogging covers 4 to 6 acres on open fields with light brush. Heavy overgrowth with mature saplings cuts that to 1 to 2 acres a day. Full clearing with tree and stump removal runs slower, usually a 1/4 to 1/2 acre a day depending on tree density. Spencer’s gives a realistic timeline at the estimate visit.
Mature trees over 12 inches in diameter typically need a tree service to drop the tree safely before Spencer’s grinds the stump and hauls the debris. Spencer’s coordinates with regional tree services on jobs that need both. Smaller trees (under 8 inches) and saplings are handled in-house with the grapple attachment and chainsaw work.
Rough grading is included on most clearing jobs. The Bobcat T66 levels the cleared area to a usable surface, fills in depressions left by stump grinding, and gets the lot ready for whatever comes next (driveway pour, building pad, septic field, seed and turf). Fine grading and final compaction is a separate workflow that Spencer’s runs as part of full excavation projects.
Brush and small saplings get chipped on site if access allows, or hauled to a regional yard waste facility with the Kenworth dump truck. Stumps are hauled out with the debris. Mature tree trunks (if any) are typically left on site for the property owner to use or be removed by a separate firewood service. Spencer’s confirms debris disposal preferences at the estimate visit.
Land clearing pricing depends on acreage, density of vegetation, tree count, stump grinding requirements, and debris disposal. Bush hogging open fields runs at a quotable per-acre rate. Full clearing with tree and stump removal is priced per project after the on-site estimate. Free estimates returned within 24 hours.
