Land Clearing in Providence: local context

Providence has older New England housing, cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles, coastal storm exposure, and most homes with basements.

Land clearing around Providence 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 Providence, 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 Rhode Island 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?
