Tree and Brush Removal
Trees and brush are often the biggest part of clearing land, especially in forested areas. Meeks Land Management has the training and equipment necessary to accomplish this work safely and quickly. Tall trees and dense brush are no match for our expertise.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is a key component of land clearing. After cutting down trees, countless stumps are left behind. You can either make do with them or let us grind them to the ground level so you don't have to worry about tripping over them.
Grading and Leveling
Grading and leveling are part of the land-clearing process. Clearing land and leaving an empty, flat space is bad for the environment because it can lead to flooding and will reduce the land's usability. This is even more problematic if you intend to use the space for farming. Grading and leveling allow proper drainage so you aren't left with puddles of stagnant water attracting mosquitoes and other problems to your property.
Forestry Mulching
If you're looking for an environmentally friendly land-clearing method, consider forestry mulching. We mulch down the trees and vegetation and leave them on your lot. It's a natural erosion control method that will add nutrients back to the soil, and it can even help prevent wildfires.
Driveway Culverts
A key component of proper land management is having driveway culverts to divert water and prevent flooding. Meeks Land Management will install culverts in driveways so you can keep your land free of floods and stagnant water.

Benefits of Land Clearing
Land clearing typically has negative connotations, but it can do a lot of great things for the environment that you may not realize. If you’re hesitant to hire our land clearing services due to environmental concerns, we understand and appreciate it. But, these benefits may make you realize it’s not all that bad:
Reduces Fire Risks
Wildfires are a destructive force of nature, and though they're part of the circle of life, they can get out of hand, especially if they're not caused naturally. Clearing land can prevent fires from starting or spreading, saving the lives of humans and countless animal and plant species.
Control Invasive Species
Not every plant and critter is worth keeping around. Many species introduced to North America aren't native and can choke out our native species due to their rapid reproduction and lack of natural controls.
Reduced Flooding
Flooding can destroy lives, structures, and plant and animal species. Reducing floods will save the local ecosystem from falling out of balance.
Pest and Disease Control
If pests and diseases are ravaging a thick vegetative area, they can eventually spread into your prized backyard garden or the crops we depend on to live. Removing them in bulk can save our lives and food supply.
Aside from environmental benefits, land clearing provides flat spaces to start building on so you can create the landscape of your dreams. Whether you’re revamping your lawn or building a shopping center, a clear space makes the perfect blank canvas.
