Land & Fenceline Clearing & Grubbing

​Reclaiming Your Property with Professional Site Clearing

Whether you are prepping a wooded lot for a new home or clearing decades of overgrowth from a farm boundary, D. Benson Trucking and Excavating has the heavy equipment to get the job done right. We serve Eastern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, providing thorough land clearing and "grubbing" services that go beyond the surface to ensure your land is truly clean and build-ready.

 

Our Clearing & Grubbing Services

Full-Scale Land Clearing

We transform dense brush and wooded areas into open, usable space. We don't just "knock trees down"; we manage the entire site to ensure proper drainage and soil stability for your future projects.

• Residential Lot Clearing: Removing trees and brush for new home construction.

• Commercial Site Prep: Large-scale clearing for parking lots and industrial pads.

• Pasture & Field Expansion: Reclaiming overgrown acreage for agricultural use.

Professional Grubbing (Root & Stump Removal)

Standard clearing often leaves the "problem" underground. Our grubbing process involves removing stumps, root balls, and buried organic debris. This is essential for any area that will eventually hold a foundation, driveway, or structural fill.

• Complete Stump Extraction: Digging out the root system to prevent future sinkholes.

• Root Raking: Sifting the topsoil to remove smaller roots and woody debris.

• Disposal & Burning: Responsible management of cleared material.

Fenceline & Boundary Cleaning

Overgrown fencelines are a headache for farmers and property owners. We use specialized equipment to clear brush, old wire, and invasive trees right up to your property markers, making it easy to install new fencing.

• Brush Mowing & Removal: Clearing thickets and buckthorn.

• Old Fence Removal: Pulling out rusted wire and rotted posts.

• Field Edge Straightening: Maximizing your tillable or usable acreage.

 

The Benson Advantage: Efficiency & Precision

• High-Production Equipment: We use heavy-duty excavators and bulldozers that can clear in hours what would take a homeowner weeks to do by hand.

• Environmental Responsibility: We work to minimize soil erosion during the clearing process and can provide "rough grading" immediately after clearing to manage water runoff.

• Invasive Species Management: We are familiar with local MN/WI invasive species like Buckthorn and can help ensure they are removed root-and-all to prevent rapid regrowth.

Turn Your Overgrowth Into Opportunity

Don't let brush and stumps stand in the way of your next project. From half-acre lots to multi-acre farm expansions, Benson is the partner you need to clear the way.
