Land Clearing Around Collinsville
Collinsville is an older city, and plenty of its ground has simply been left alone. A side lot nobody mowed. A back strip that drops toward a creek. A fence row that turned into a wall of saplings and vines. Once it gets that far, a mower and a free weekend will not touch it.
That is the work we take on. The brush and small timber come down and the root balls come out. The debris leaves on our truck, or it is burned where that is allowed. Jon looks at the ground or your photos and prices it himself.
What you get back is ground you can see and use. You can walk the line, set a fence, mow it or hand it to a builder. If the bare ground needs shaping after, the same crew handles grading in Collinsville as well.
Collinsville is the Metro East end of our ground, so we plan the day to get the whole job done in one run. The land clearing and brush removal page explains how we work, and excavating in Collinsville lists everything else we do in town.

Land Clearing in Collinsville: What to Know
Land clearing in Collinsville, IL: knowing your ground
Most of Collinsville sits in southern Madison County, but two parts of the city reach south into St. Clair County. Your tax bill shows which side you are on. It is worth knowing before you plan a shed, a shop or a new house on the cleared ground.
Water in Collinsville runs west. Canteen Creek on the south side and Schoolhouse Branch to the northwest both drain toward the Mississippi valley at the western edge of the city. Lots that back onto either one can grow thick along the bank, and that strip is often the hardest part of the lot to reach.
Town lots, tight gates and where the brush goes
Many Collinsville jobs are town lots with a house on each side. On those, access matters more than acreage. Tell us the gate width, where a truck can sit, and whether we come in off a main road like Route 159 or a quiet side street.
Inside the city the debris is usually loaded and hauled away. Whether burning is allowed at all is a city question, so Jon checks before he prices it and tells you straight. Our dump truck hauling takes the brush and spoil off in the same visit.
What moves the price
No two lots grow back the same way, so there is no flat rate. The price comes from how thick the growth is, how big the timber is, how many root balls come out, how far the debris travels and how easy the ground is to reach.
You can keep it down by being clear about what you need. Flag the trees you want kept. Clear the strip you will actually use, not the whole parcel. Book the clearing and grading together so the machines only come out once.

Collinsville Land Clearing Questions
Not seeing yours? Call or text (217) 710-0606 and ask Jon, or read the common questions.
Which county is my Collinsville property in?
Most of the city is in Madison County. Two portions reach south into St. Clair County. Your property tax bill will tell you, and it matters if you plan to build.
Can you clear the overgrown bank behind my Collinsville house?
Usually, yes. Brush and small timber along a back strip can come out. Banks need something holding the soil, so we agree how far to go before anything is cut.
How much does land clearing cost in Collinsville?
It depends on how dense the growth is, the size of the timber, the number of root balls, access, and whether debris is hauled or burned. Jon gives a free quote after seeing the ground or clear photos.
Should I call JULIE before my Collinsville lot is cleared?
Yes. Pulling root balls disturbs the ground, so buried lines should be marked first. Jon will tell you when to place the request so the marks are fresh when the crew arrives.

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.
