Here’s what you can expect when the Gaycas Tree Services crew arrives to get started on your next land clearing project:
- Assessment and Planning: We can’t get to work until we understand what we’re working with. We’ll check out the terrain, tree density, soil quality of the area, what should be removed, what should stay and the easiest access points to the property.
- Setting Up Boundaries: Once we’ve got a handle on what needs to be done we’ll mark trees for removal and set up distinct boundaries to protect neighboring plots, vegetation that doesn’t require removal and things like underground utility lines.
- Tree and Vegetation Removal: We start with the biggest trees first and then work down from there. We systematically go over the property removing trees, brush and finally any dense undergrowth until it’s all cleared out.
- Removing or Grinding Stumps: Once the trees are taken care of, it’s time to get rid of the left-behind stumps. We’ll bring in stump grinding equipment or fully extract them depending on the needs of the plot we’re working on.
- Debris Clearing: We’ll wrap up getting rid of small bushes, root systems and any other left over debris from the larger removals earlier.
- Debris Hauling: Next, we’ll either jump into forestry mulching and grind up plant matter on site into mulch or load up larger logs and pieces of debris for removal from the area.
- Final Walkthrough: Once we’re finished with land clearing in Columbia, SC, we’ll take a final tour of the area to guarantee that everything has been taken care of in accordance with the customer’s needs.

How much does land clearing in Columbia cost?
There are a lot of variables that go into the cost of your land clearing work. The size of your plot, how heavily wooded it is, terrain type and the general scope of the job at hand all go into the final price tag. However, we offer free estimates to give you an idea of what to expect beforehand!

It all depends on the size of the plot and the work required to clean it up. Smaller residential plots can usually be cleared in as little as a single day.
