Land Clearing

Land Clearing in Raleigh and Across North Carolina

What is Land Clearing?

Land clearing is the process of removing trees, brush, stumps, rocks, and debris to prepare a site for construction, development, or improved land use. It’s the essential first step in transforming overgrown or unusable property into clean, build-ready space.

At 5 County Construction, we provide professional land clearing services across Raleigh, Zebulon, and the surrounding areas. We use a range of specialized equipment to clear everything from wooded lots and dense underbrush to debris-filled acreage — efficiently and with minimal disruption to the land.

Land clearing is ideal for:

Residential lot preparation
New construction projects
Expanding pasture or agricultural use
Clearing access roads and driveways
Storm damage and debris cleanup
Right-of-way maintenance
Property cleanup and resale preparation

By removing unwanted vegetation and leveling out the site, land clearing helps prevent fire hazards, improves visibility, supports future development, and enhances the value and usability of your land.

Where it works best

Our land clearing services are designed to work on:

Overgrown residential and commercial lots
Agricultural properties and fields
Wooded acreage with dense vegetation
Areas with fallen trees or storm debris
Steep terrain and hard-to-reach locations

We assess your property’s specific conditions and apply the best approach — whether that’s traditional clearing methods or low-impact solutions like forestry mulching when appropriate.

Land Clearing for Residential and Commercial Properties

From small backyard lots to multi-acre developments, land clearing plays a critical role in setting the stage for what comes next. We tailor our approach to match the scale and scope of your project — whether you're preparing for home construction, expanding usable land, or clearing a site for utilities and infrastructure.

For homeowners, that often means clearing trees and brush to prepare for foundations, septic systems, driveways, or landscaping.

For commercial sites, it’s about speed, scale, and precision — clearing larger areas while coordinating with other contractors, engineers, and site plans to keep your build on schedule.
