Tree Service Erie PA crewMany Erie County homes back onto woods, and the woods keep moving in. Clearing can open up a back lot for lawn, a garden, a garage or a better view.
Here's how the process usually works.
1. Walk it and decide what stays
The most important step. Healthy, well-placed trees can add shade and value, so we flag the keepers before anything is cut.
- Mark property lines
- Flag keep-trees
- Note wet areas, slopes and utilities
2. Cut and chip
Small trees and brush are cut and run through the chipper. Larger trees are felled or rigged like any removal.
3. Deal with the stumps
Where you'll mow or build, stumps get ground. Deeper in a wooded area, they can often be left to rot.
4. Check the rules
Clearing near streams, ponds or wetlands can be regulated. Check with your township before larger projects.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to the wood?
Small material goes through the chipper. Bigger pieces are your call: firewood or haul-off.
How long does clearing take?
It depends on the size and density. Small backyard jobs can take a day; larger lots take longer.
Will the ground be torn up?
Some disturbance is normal. Working when the ground is dry or frozen helps.
Can you leave the chips?
Yes. Wood chips can be spread on paths or piled for later use.
