Re: Cost to clear 10 acres. Likely (highly likely !! ) that the value of the trees as wood is less than the cost of clearing the land. A forester could be hired to cruise the timber for a board foot estimate and then get estimates of timber value.

Land Clearing Bid. OK guys, I am sure this has been asked many times before, but I don't have a lot of time to search for it on here and would really appreciate your input if you would. Normally, I do small jobs of land clearing (1-3 acres) with 6 inch diameter trees @ 30 ft high, in soft ground (no rocks).

Regrading or resloping the land is usually included in the price charged by site preparation contractors. But if you’ve only paid for land clearing, then you will have to add it to your total cost. The average price of regrading comes out to $0.47-$2.28 per sq. ft.

Do-it-yourself land clearing is possible but it's a lot of work and typically requires access to equipment or heavy machinery. A heavy-duty gas chain saw can cost $200-$500 or more. Renting a backhoe can cost $100-$350 or more a day, and buying a backhoe can cost $10,000-$100,000 or more. Landowner James Starbuck posts a 44-page booklet and video segments sharing his techniques for do-it-yourself land clearing by one man and a backhoe.

Re: Land Clearing Bid. This is only a job you can estimate. There are a ton of variables. How far is the dump site, how much do you have to pay per load, how fast can you take them down and load, how much are trucks in your area. Even for myself every clearing job is different. Some places I pay 20 bucks a load to get rid of brush some 10 bucks.
