Land Clearing in Boston: local context

Boston has one of the oldest housing stocks in the country, cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles, and most single-family homes and triple-deckers have basements.

Land clearing around Boston is mostly lot preparation, fence-line and driveway clearing, and reclaiming overgrown acreage on the edges of the metro.

Methods range from forestry mulching and brush cutting to dozer clearing and stump grinding. Around Boston, ask contractors about tree-protection ordinances in many cities, erosion-control rules on disturbed ground and wetland and drainage rules, who handles permits, and what happens to the debris.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with Massachusetts licensing authorities and the local building or permitting office for what applies to your project.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What clearing method will you use, and why?
  • What happens to debris and stumps?
  • Who handles permits, tree ordinances and erosion control?
  • Is the price per acre, per day or fixed?
  • Can I see proof of insurance?
