Land Clearing in Hillsboro, IL
Brush, small timber and overgrown fence lines cleared by a crew whose yard is in Hillsboro.
The work
What land clearing covers
Brush and small timber
Fence lines that have not been touched in years. Timbered edges creeping into pasture. Lots that need to be buildable. The brush and small timber come down and the root balls come out. The debris is dealt with, not pushed into a corner of your ground.
Burned or hauled off
The material is burned on site where that is allowed and sensible. Otherwise it is loaded and hauled off. Jon agrees which one with you before the work starts. It changes the price, and it changes what your ground looks like at the end.
Grading often comes next
Most clearing jobs turn into grading jobs. Once the growth is off you can see the ground for the first time in years, and it rarely drains the way the owner assumed. The same crew and the same machines do both. See grading in Hillsboro.

Land clearing around Hillsboro
Pasture and fence lines
Around Hillsboro, Litchfield and Nokomis most clearing is pasture and fence lines. Brush and small timber are taken off so the ground can be mowed, fenced or grazed again.
Lots and building sites
Some clearing comes ahead of a build. A lot that has sat for years, or a back acre being opened up for a shop or a pole barn. The growth comes off and the ground is left ready for site prep. If an old shed or barn is in the way, see demolition in Hillsboro.
The yard is in Hillsboro

How it goes
How a clearing job goes
Tell us the job
Call, text or send the form. A photo of the ground and the way in tells us more than a description does. Say how wide the gate is, where the truck can sit and what is in the way.
Jon prices it himself
Jon quotes every job. 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 needs, with an operator who has run it before.
It gets left clean
The job is not done while there is a pile sat in your yard.
FAQs
Land clearing 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.
Is the quote free?
Yes. Every quote is free and Jon does them himself.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. Being based in Hillsboro rather than an hour away is what makes small jobs worth doing.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the season and what is already booked. Call and ask. You will get a straight answer.
