I had reached out to Connor based on someone else's recommendation and he came out to the house within 48 hours for a consultation. He did a terrific job walking me through a couple different ways to approach the drainage issues of our driveway and left us with an absolutely stunning new driveway. He also helped us out with our backyard patio which came out better than we had hoped. He later came back and cleaned up from the equipment tracks, seeded and put straw down for new grass. Can not recommend Connor enough. Just call him you wont be disappointed.
What This Service Is
This service clears trees, stumps, and dense understory standing between a property and usable land — whether that's opening up a yard, prepping a lot before a build, or reclaiming ground that's grown over. It's done with an excavator operated by Connor directly, working carefully around what's meant to stay so the surrounding landscape isn't torn up in the process. This is one of the five core services Andrews Earthworks offers, and it's distinct from drainage or grading work — if what you actually need is water managed rather than land opened up, the drainage page is the better starting point. Either way, the same owner handles the job start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does land clearing cost in Williston, VT?
It depends on how much ground needs clearing, what's on it (brush vs. established trees vs. stumps), and how accessible the site is for equipment. No fixed price is published here because it varies too much to guess honestly. Text or call with a description of the area and you'll typically hear back the same day with a number.
Do you remove full-size trees, or just brush and understory?
This page doesn't have a documented, sourced answer to that distinction on file — ask directly when you call, since the service name covers both timber and understory work but the exact scope per job should be confirmed with Connor.
How is this different from site prep or grading?
Timber and understory removal is about clearing what's growing on the land; site prep and grading is about shaping the ground itself once it's clear. Many projects need both, in that order — clear first, then grade.
Will you protect trees or landscaping I want to keep?
There's no documented statement specific to tree- or landscaping-preservation practices for this service on file. Flag exactly what you want kept when you call, and confirm it's part of the plan before work starts.
How quickly can you get to a clearing job?
This isn't documented for this specific service, so no timeline is stated here. Current availability is worth asking about directly when you call.
