Land clearing in Northeast Ohio costs $2,000 to $2,990 an acre for ordinary woods and brush on level ground, $624 an acre to brush hog an open field, and a flat $295 to $750 for jobs up to a quarter acre. Enter your address, outline the area you want cleared, and this calculator prices it from those same rates, adjusted for the cover and the lie of the land. You see the range before entering a phone number; verifying one unlocks the itemised breakdown and saves your quote.
Enter your address and we'll look up your property details automatically.
We'll auto-detect your property acreage from county parcel records when available.
This land clearing cost calculator prices from the same table our crew quotes from. Enter the property address, outline the area you want cleared on the satellite view, and tell it what is growing there and how the ground lies. The range appears straight away, before you are asked for a phone number.
The outline matters more than anything else you enter. A quarter acre drawn at the back of a ten-acre parcel is priced as a quarter acre, not as the parcel. If you do not draw a shape, the calculator falls back to the lot size, which is almost always more ground than the job.
No project minimum. Small jobs are flat-priced, larger work is priced by the acre, and you get the number before anything starts.
Two things do not move it: the hour of the day the crew works, and what happens to the cleared material. Nothing is billed by the hour, and nothing is hauled or burned unless you ask for it, so there is no disposal line waiting at the end.
Each row below is the calculator itself, run on the inputs shown. They are the numbers you would see entering the same thing.
| The job | What you would enter | Calculated price |
|---|---|---|
| A driveway edge or fence line | About 450 sq ft, any cover | $295 |
| The corner behind the garage | A quarter acre, ordinary brush, flat | $750 |
| Half an acre of woods edge | Half an acre, ordinary brush, flat | $1,000 – $1,495 |
| One acre of overgrown woods | One acre, ordinary brush, flat | $2,000 – $2,990 |
| Three acres of thick understory on a slope | Three acres, dense brush, rolling ground | $8,580 – $12,827 |
| Two acres of field gone to weeds | Two acres, brush hogging | $1,248 |

Clearing under standing woods is its own kind of job — see underbrush clearing for what comes out and what stays, and the full price list for every rung in one place.
It depends on what is growing and how much of it. BrushBoss prices small jobs flat — $295 for a driveway edge or fence line, $495 for a longer strip, $750 for up to a quarter acre — and woods and acreage at $2,000 to $2,990 an acre for ordinary brush on level ground, more where the growth is dense or the ground is steep. Open fields that only need mowing are brush hogged at $624 an acre. There is no project minimum.
One acre of ordinary brush on flat ground calculates at $2,000 – $2,990. Dense brush or a slope moves it up; an open field that only needs mowing is $624. Enter the address and draw the acre for the number on your own ground.
Half an acre of ordinary brush on flat ground calculates at $1,000 – $1,495. Anything up to a quarter acre is a flat $750.
Because the work to get a machine and a crew to the property is the same whether the job is an hour or a day. The flat prices cover that honestly instead of hiding it in a minimum charge, and the per-acre rate never drops below the quarter-acre price as a job gets bigger, so the number only ever goes up with the ground.
It is the range our own price table gives for the area and conditions you entered. The final number is fixed in writing before anything starts, after we have confirmed the area, the cover and the access — from photos or a satellite view for most homes, and a walk-through for work near the house, a pond or a boundary. The price we put in writing is the price you pay.
No. You see the price range before you are asked for anything. Verifying a phone number unlocks the itemised breakdown and saves the quote so we can pick it up from there.
Usually, once the whole bill is counted. A dozer quote often leaves out hauling, burning, stump removal, topsoil and erosion repair, and each is a cost. Mulching leaves the cleared material on the ground as cover, keeps the topsoil where it is, and keeps the trees you want — so the calculator number is the whole number.
You own the land. You just cannot use it.
That is one layer of brush, and it comes off in a morning.
We'll tell you what it costs. From $295, no project minimum.
Ground you can walk without watching your step — because we take the cover out.
Without losing a tree worth keeping.
