The Truth About Land Clearing Pricing
That "$3,000 per acre" quote? It's made up. They looked at your property for 5 minutes, picked a number, and hoped they didn't lose money.
"We got quoted $8,000, then they came back asking for $12,000 because 'the brush was thicker than expected.' How did they not know that before?"
"They showed me exactly why my 2-acre lot cost less than my neighbor's 1.5 acres. His had way bigger trees. Finally, pricing that makes sense."
It's a number that represents the actual work required to clear your land. Higher score = more work = higher (fair) price.
Light brush, small saplings. Quick job, lower price.
Mixed vegetation, 4-6" trees. Standard residential job.
Dense forest, 8-10"+ trees. Heavy equipment, more time.
Light brush? Low score, low price. Dense forest? Higher score, but you know exactly why.
When another contractor quotes you, ask: "What's the work volume?" If they can't answer, they're guessing.
Your score is calculated before work starts. Price is locked. Period.
You get a detailed breakdown. Every dollar accounted for. Full transparency.
And why the ones who don't are leaving money on the table (or taking it from you).
A contractor who guesses high loses the bid. A contractor who guesses low either loses money or cuts corners. Neither is good for you.
When a contractor comes back asking for more money because "it was harder than expected," that's code for "I didn't measure properly." With scoring, there are no surprises.
When a price is a guess, how do you know if you're getting a deal? With a score, you know the work volume. You can compare contractors on equal footing.
