Land Clearing in Los Angeles: local context

Los Angeles gets most of its rain from a handful of winter storms, sits in a seismically active region, and most homes are built on slabs or raised foundations rather than full basements.

Land clearing around Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles, ask contractors about defensible-space and fuel-reduction requirements in wildfire-prone areas, tree-protection ordinances in many cities and erosion-control rules on disturbed ground, who handles permits, and what happens to the debris.

Licensing and permit rules differ by state and city. Check with California 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?
