Who clears treed lots in Redmond?

Tree Ninjas does, working out of Duvall, along with a few other tree crews and excavation contractors. Who cuts treed lots in Redmond, and how does one choose? Ask what happens after the trees come down, and where jobs go wrong. To find a land clearing Redmond landowner can trust, searching is required. Our land clearing page lists brush and vegetation removal, tree and stump clearing, site preparation, debris hauling and eco-friendly disposal, and erosion control and grading assistance.

How a job runs

• Inspect the property. We walk the site first and look at the vegetation, terrain, obstacles, and access.

• Make a plan. Next, we build a plan around your goals and timeline.

• Clear the land. We remove brush, trees, stumps, and debris, and we protect structures and healthy vegetation while we work.

• Clean up and prep. Last, we tidy the site and leave the land ready for whatever comes next.

How we protect your property

• We use low-impact equipment to protect surrounding trees and existing landscaping.

• We only clear what we need to.

• That matters if you want to keep a few good trees around the house.

The city has its own say, too. Redmond requires a tree removal permit for any significant tree, meaning one at least 6 inches across at 4.5 feet above the ground. Each significant tree removed requires one replacement tree. So check the rules before you cut, and we'll help you work out which permits apply. If you're building, Redmond also expects at least 35 percent of significant trees to be kept on a new development, which is another reason to plan the clearing before the design is final.

What happens to the trees and brush after clearing?

They get hauled away, recycled where possible, or set aside if you want to keep the wood. We handle complete debris removal and cleanup, which includes hauling away logs, branches and grindings so the property is clean when we leave. Here's the usual path:

However, burning isn't the answer in most of this area. King County says burning to clear land for development is prohibited, and state rules ban burning yard debris in urban areas at all times. Wood that leaves the site often becomes mulch or other recycled products, which keeps it out of the landfill. The county's fire safety page explains that restrictions apply even when no burn ban is in effect. So hauling and recycling are the practical routes.

Which company near me chips and removes cleared material?

One that tells you where everything goes before the job starts. Which company near me chips and removes cleared material? Tree Ninjas handles debris hauling and disposal as part of land clearing, so you aren't left with piles, and we recycle debris wherever possible. Looking for brush clearing and chipping Redmond owners can compare? Ask these questions of any crew:

• Will brush be chipped, hauled or both?

• What happens to the chips, and can some stay on site?

• Who removes the logs, and can I keep some?

• Is hauling included in the price, or listed as its own line?

• How clean is clean? Ask what the site looks like when they leave.

A good crew answers all five without hesitating, and puts the answers in writing.

Still, chips can be useful. Spread on a path or around plantings, they make mulch, but a heavy pile left in the wrong spot can smother the ground. So decide ahead of time what you want, and tell us.

Who handles brush and stump removal in Redmond?

We do, and we handle both in a single visit. Who removes brush and stump in Redmond? Tree Ninjas, with brush and vegetation removal plus stump grinding or removal as part the clearing. Stump and debris removal after the clearing Redmond lots need is much easier when the same crew plans both, because the equipment and the cleanup fit together.

Grinding takes stumps below ground level, which prevents regrowth and leaves the yard even. This is usually enough for lawns, gardens and landscaping. The slopes and soggy ground don't change the basic approach, either. Our equipment and operators handle steep slopes, wet ground and densely wooded areas, and we assess the site before work begins. If you plan to pour a foundation or run utilities through the spot, tell us early, since full removal might be the better choice.

How long does land clearing take?

Most standard residential lots can be cleared in one to two days. Jobs require a careful evaluation of the job site including the square footage, density of the vegetation and the terrain's difficulty. We'll give you an accurate time estimate with your free on-site estimate.

However, permits can add onto the time it takes to clear land. Redmond states that most tree removal permits take about a week from submittal to approval while exception requests take two to three weeks. Starting the permit process early, especially if large trees or one near a critical area need to be removed will ensure the crew can arrive as soon as you're ready. Bare soil can wash away in our rainy winters so ask about erosion control prior to beginning the job.

How much does land clearing cost?

Will depend on the size of the lot, the density of the trees and brush, slope and access, and what happens to the materials afterwards. Stumps, hauling and disposal add to the job cost, while chipping and recycling can vary it. Permit fees and replacement trees can add to the cost as well, due to the fact that Redmond requires a replacement for any significant trees that get cut down.

We won't tell you a number over the phone. We will come out and look at the property, and tell you exactly what it will cost, with no hidden fees, so you know what to expect when the time comes. Call and tell us about the lot, we can schedule the visit. Tell us what you want to do with it as well, as a lot you want to build on will be a different price than if you want it opened up for a lawn.

Frequently asked questions

1. What happens to the trees, brush and debris after clearing?

We haul away the logs, branches and grindings, and we recycle debris wherever possible. Cleanup is part of the job, so the property is clean when we leave. If you'd like to keep firewood, tell us beforehand. We don't burn on site, because burning to clear land is prohibited in our area.

2. Is chipping on site cheaper than hauling material away?

Often it can be, because fewer truckloads leave the property, but it depends on how much brush there is and where the chips can go. Chips need a spot, and too many in one place cause problems. Ask for both options priced separately, so we can show you the difference.

3. Do the stumps need to come out, or can they be ground?

Usually they can be ground. Grinding takes the stump below ground level, prevents regrowth and leaves the surface ready for landscaping. If you'll build on the spot or run utilities through it, full removal may be better, so tell us your plans. We include stump work in the clearing when you ask for it.

4. Can usable timber or firewood be kept back for the owner?

Yes. Let us know you'd like to keep firewood, and we'll work with you on it. If the trees have real timber value, our logging service is built for that, and we can tell you at the estimate which route fits. Decide before the work starts, so nothing gets hauled off by accident.

5. How is the ground left — ready to build on, or needing more work?

We leave the site clean, graded and ready for what comes next. That means debris gone and the ground tidied for building, planting or landscaping. Final grading to a builder's plan or a survey is sometimes separate work, so tell us your next step and we'll say what's included.
