We do three kinds of brush clearing work in Sonora and across Tuolumne County: brush clearing, defensible space clearing, and lot and land clearing. One local crew does all three, often on the same visit. Most jobs get one written price before we start, some projects are done at a flat day rate, and we work in Calaveras County too.
Got a notice and not sure what it asks for? Read the defensible space rules for Sonora and Tuolumne County.
Each service has its own page: what is included, how the job goes and what moves the price.
Also called brush removal or clearing overgrown brush
Overgrown brush, manzanita, blackberry, poison oak and small trees cut down, then chipped, hauled away or stacked for a permitted burn.
For lots that got away, insurance letters and steep slopes.
The 100-foot fire clearance CAL FIRE inspects
The 100 feet around your house cleared to the state standard, zone by zone, with before and after photos you can send to your insurer.
For inspection notices, insurance letters and sales.
Vacant lots, acreage, fence lines and fire breaks
Lots and acreage cut back before a weed abatement deadline, a sale or a build, plus fire breaks along drives, fences and outbuildings.
For vacant lots, acreage, weed notices and builds.
These are not separate services. Each fits inside one of the three, so it goes on the same written price.
A brush job often turns up more work. We take it on in the same visit, so you are not waiting on a second company.
We do not spray. We cut weeds and brush and haul them away, and no herbicide goes on your ground. For a big tree that needs a climber, we recommend a licensed tree service.
Call (209) 243-5574 or send the form. We call back the same day, usually within the hour.
Usually within a day or two. If you live out of the area, we walk it with you on the phone.
For everything on the visit, with hauling and dump fees in it. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Cut, chipped or hauled, raked up, and before and after photos sent to you. You pay when it is done.
Not sure which one fits? Call us and describe what you see.
Call (209) 243-5574If you have a notice, an insurance letter or a sale coming, start with defensible space clearing. If the brush itself is the problem, it is brush clearing. If it is a vacant lot or open acreage, it is lot and land clearing. Not sure? Tell us what you see and we sort it out at the walk-through.
Yes. Many properties need a bit of each: the 100 feet around the house, the brush on the slope below it and a fire break along the drive. One crew does all of it on the same visit, and it all goes on one written price.
Yes. The same crew does all three in Angels Camp, Murphys, Arnold, Copperopolis and the towns around them. The local rules differ: Angels Camp has its own weed code, for one. We clear to whichever rule applies at your address. Every town is listed on our Tuolumne and Calaveras service areas page.
Yes, if you want it gone. We haul it to the green waste site on Camage Avenue in Sonora with the fee in our price, chip it on site, or stack it for your own permitted burn outside fire season. Poison oak is always bagged and hauled.
Tell us where the property is and what needs clearing. We call you back the same day, usually within the hour, and set a time to walk it with you, in person or on the phone if you are out of the area.
