What you are actually buying
What the work covers
Overgrown ground, taken back
Fence lines that have not been touched in years, timbered edges creeping into pasture, lots that need to be buildable. Brush and small timber down, root balls out, and the debris dealt with rather than pushed into a corner.
What happens to the material
Burned on site where that is allowed and sensible, or loaded and hauled off. Which one it is gets agreed before the work starts, because it changes the price and it changes what your ground looks like at the end.
Clearing is usually step one
Most clearing jobs turn into grading jobs. Once the growth is off, the ground underneath is visible for the first time in years and it rarely drains the way the owner assumed. Same crew, same machines, no second contractor.
Land clearing in Edwardsville, Collinsville & Hillsboro
Lots and building sites
Around Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Troy and Collinsville most clearing comes ahead of a build: a lot that has sat for years, a back acre being opened up for a shop or a pole barn, or a timbered edge that has crept toward the house. The growth comes off and the ground is left ready for site prep or grading.
Pasture and fence lines
Out toward Highland, and back home around Hillsboro, Litchfield and Nokomis, it is more often pasture and fence lines: brush and small timber taken off so the ground can be mowed, fenced or grazed again. See land clearing in Hillsboro.
Before Jon comes out
Know roughly where your property lines are, flag any trees you want kept, and point out septic tanks, wells or buried lines. Illinois law requires a call to JULIE before digging so utilities get marked. A photo of the ground and a note on access gets you a straighter answer.

Land Clearing Questions
Not seeing yours? Call or text (217) 710-0606 and ask Jon, or read the common questions.
What happens to the brush and timber?
It is burned on site where that is allowed and sensible, or loaded and hauled off. Which one is agreed before the work starts.
What should I do before Jon comes out?
Know roughly where your property lines are. Flag any trees you want kept. Point out septic tanks, wells or buried lines. Illinois law requires a call to JULIE before digging so utilities get marked.
Do you take the roots out as well?
Yes. Brush and small timber come down and the root balls come out.
How far will you travel?
Further than most people expect. Montgomery County is home, and we are in Springfield, Decatur, Effingham, Vandalia, Greenville, Carlinville and out into the Metro East as a matter of course. If your job sits past that, ring and ask — Jon would rather hear about it and tell you himself than have you rule it out.
Do you quote for free?
Yes. Every quote is free and Jon does them himself.
Most jobs need more than one of these
Towns we are in most weeks
Four steps, no surprises
Tell us the job
Call, text or send the form. A photograph of the ground and the way in tells us more than a description does — width of the gate, where the truck can sit, what is in the way.
Jon prices it himself
Jon quotes every job on this site. You are not talking to a call centre and you are not getting a number from someone who has not looked at the ground.
The machines turn up
Excavator, dozer, skid steer or the truck — whatever the job actually needs, with an operator who has run it before.
It gets left clean
Spoil hauled off or graded back, whichever was agreed. The job is not done while there is a pile sat in your yard.
