Fixed project pricing, anchored to your acreage and scope. $1,995 minimum job. The number on your proposal is the number you pay — no surprise add-ons, no hourly creep, no padding. We'll quote your specific property after a free on-site assessment.
Most homeowner and property-reclamation work fits our Land Clearing tier — softwood, hardwood, mixed, brush, or invasives, all handled the same way. Properties with wetland resource areas, vernal pools, or buffer zones requiring conservation commission approval step up to our Wetland-Adjacent tier. Subdivision phasing, HOA common areas, infrastructure, and public-works projects are scoped under our Development & Municipal tier. We'll help you choose the right one during your free assessment.
Brush, saplings, and standing trees mulched in place — softwood, hardwood, or mixed.
Properties with wetland resource areas, vernal pools, or buffer zones.
Outside fees, billed directly: Wetland scientists, environmental consultants, and town/state filing fees are billed directly by those parties — not by Patriot Brushworks. We’ll flag any expected indirect fees during your assessment so the total project cost is clear before you commit.
Subdivision phasing, HOA common areas, infrastructure, and public works.
Every property is different. Here's what affects your final quote — so there are no surprises in your assessment.
Light brush moves fast. Dense overgrowth with mature invasives takes more passes and more machine wear. The thicker it is, the higher the project cost.
Flat, dry land is the easy case. Rocky terrain, wet ground, slopes over 20°, or stone walls and ledges all slow the work and increase wear on equipment.
Most jobs handle trees up to 8". Larger trees up to 12" require more time and the right machine. Anything bigger, we'll discuss separately.
Wide, flat driveways are easy. Narrow access through a yard, gates that need temporary removal, or remote acreage that requires longer mobilization adds to the total.
Wide-open clearing is fastest. Working carefully around trees you want to preserve (oaks, hemlocks, maples) takes more time but keeps your property's character intact.
If your property has wetland resource areas or town-mandated buffer zones (very common in eastern Mass), we'll coordinate with the local conservation commission and adjust scope to comply.
A well-equipped crew handles a substantial amount of ground in a single day. Our Land Clearing tier starts at $3,000/acre, and wetland-adjacent projects start at $7,500/project. Most projects fall between $1,995 and $10,000 total — final pricing depends on density, terrain, tree types, regulatory complexity, and access.
No hourly add-ons. No debris hauling fees. No surprise charges. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Hourly pricing benefits the contractor when work goes slowly. Fixed project pricing benefits you — we anchor every quote to your acreage and scope, then commit to that number in writing. You know your number before we start, and weather, breakdowns, and surprises are our problem, not yours. The pricing factors below are what move the number up or down for your specific property — none of them get added on after the proposal is signed.
Yes. Our minimum job is $1,995 — it kicks in on smaller-scope projects where the per-acre anchor math comes in below this floor, which is typical for very small lots or partial-acre property edges. Mobilizing tracked equipment to a site has a real cost that doesn’t shrink with the acreage. For very small jobs that don’t justify mobilizing tracked equipment at all, forestry mulching usually isn’t the right tool. We’ll tell you honestly during the assessment if a hand crew or different approach makes more sense.
Project pricing scales predictably with acreage — five acres is roughly five times the cost of one, before factoring in the project-specific items listed above. For multi-day projects we sometimes offer volume pricing on the additional acreage, since once we're mobilized the marginal cost of more ground drops. We'll quote your specific scope during the assessment.
Sometimes — and when that happens, those professionals bill you directly, not through us. Wetland scientists (typically $1,500–$3,500), environmental consultants if your town requires one, and town or state filing fees are paid by the property owner directly to the party providing the service or processing the filing. We coordinate with all of them on your behalf, but we don’t mark up their work or bundle it into our invoice. You’ll see exactly what to expect during your assessment, before any work begins.
Permits (where required by your town), surveying, stump grinding for individual stumps, and removal of trees over 12" diameter are quoted separately. On wetland-adjacent projects, wetland scientists, environmental consultants, and town/state filing fees are billed directly by those parties — not through us. We’ll flag any of these during your assessment so there are no surprises.
A flat $250 fee added to every project that covers equipment transport, trailer time, and on-site setup. Tracked forestry mulchers can't drive themselves down the road — they ride on a heavy-duty trailer pulled by our truck, and the fee covers that round trip plus the loading and unloading time on both ends. It's listed transparently on every proposal so you see it before you commit.
Yes. We work with developers, municipalities, conservation districts, and contractors. Pricing for commercial projects depends on scope, scheduling requirements, and documentation needs — reach out and we'll put together a custom proposal.
