I got a request to quote on clearing a 2 acre lot. Theres are fair bit of scruband some timber. I've never priced a job like this before. Does anyone have a system that works for them. Any advice is appreciated...
I had a 1/3 acre cleared for my new garage. The guy cut about 30 good-sized trees and took the trunks away for firewood. He left me the tops and stumps. For this he charged $1,500 and this was in the summer of 2002.

I asked for the tops so that I could pick at em for firewood.
I should of also added that the guy was running a special at the time: any building lot, one(1) acre or smaller cleared for a flat fee of $1,500.
I couldn't write the check fast enough.
Man,Around here they want it done for logs
I gotta say Ditto to that. I get it all the time, "If you come clear my 5 acre lot, "I'll GIVE you all the logs". WOW,.......... I would hate to think, I was working my butt off,..... for logs . I ain't NEVER been able to spend one. On top of that, most of the time they only have large sticks nothing worth milling. I don't do land clearing, I have a sawmill, but everybody seems to think I will clear there land for the logs. Now if they have good logs, I will go cut the good sawlogs and haul them away but thats it, no debris removal. I have a few tree service friends that keep me in logs pretty good, but I gotta watch for yard trees and tramp metal.Man,Around here they want it done for logs
