Professional residential lot clearing in Cortez. Trees, brush, and debris removed completely. One clean, flat-price job so your backyard project can finally begin.
It usually starts as a plan for something else. You want a detached garage, a bigger patio, a play area for the kids, maybe just a yard you can actually walk across. Then you look at the back of the property and remember why it never happened — the scrub trees, the tangle of brush, the volunteer growth that's been quietly taking over for a decade.
That overgrown corner is the thing standing between you and the project. And for most homeowners, clearing it feels like a bigger undertaking than the project itself. It isn't — not when it's handled as one clean job by a crew that does it routinely.
Alvey Tree Service clears small residential lots across Cortez so the ground is open, level, and ready for whatever you're actually trying to build.
Residential-scale work for homeowners — not developer acreage jobs.
The core service. We clear the trees, brush, and growth from the area you've marked out, down to open and workable ground. Whether it's making room for a structure, a garden, or just usable space, the area you point to is the area we hand back to you cleared.
Sometimes there's no single project yet — just a part of the yard that's become unusable. Years of unchecked brush, saplings, and scrub. We cut it back to the ground and clear it out.
Residential lots come with obstacles — fences, sheds, property lines. We take down the trees that are in the way and protect everything around them.
Inherited a property that got away from someone? We handle the full cleanup — clearing the growth, hauling out debris, and leaving you ground you can finally see the shape of.
Logs, brush, stumps, chippings — all removed as part of the job.
Coordinated with your build timeline and contractors.
Simple, transparent, and designed to be hassle-free.
You show us what you want gone and what you want protected. We mark the line clearly. You receive a flat price for the exact scope described.
The same crew that walked the property returns. Sectional removal, protection of fences and structures, clearing as we go, and complete debris haul-away.
You inspect the result against the agreed scope. Most small residential lots in Cortez are completed in a single day.
Clearing price comes down to a few honest variables:
A light backyard clear-out is one of the more affordable projects in tree work. A dense, tight-access overgrown lot is priced accordingly. You always receive a flat price after the site walk — never an hourly rate that changes.
Opening an overgrown corner • Prepping for a structure or addition • Cleaning a neglected property • Clearing before another trade arrives.
Single specimen tree removal (we'll quote as standard tree removal) • Full-acreage development clearing.
"We'd been talking about a backyard workshop for three years and the overgrown back fence line was the reason it never moved. Alvey cleared it in a day, hauled everything off, and suddenly the project felt real. Should've called sooner."
"Bought a house where the back portion of the lot was basically a jungle. They walked it with me, were clear about what counted as clearing versus removal, and the price didn't move from the walk to the invoice."
"Mostly smooth. There was a small mix-up about one tree near the property line... The crew owned it, adjusted the rest of the plan on the spot, and didn't charge me for the back-and-forth."
"Lot clearing" gets used loosely... You need a true clearing job when the goal is open, buildable ground... You only need a cleanup when the bones of the space are fine...
The practical move: before you call anyone, decide whether you need the space usable for something specific or just looking better.
