What's included in our land clearing service

Whether it's years of unchecked brush, overgrown shrubs taking over your yard, or a full lot that needs clearing before a build or renovation — SOTE has the equipment and the crew to handle it. We serve residential and commercial properties across the Northshore, tackling everything from overgrown fence lines and foundation shrubs to full acreage clearing.

01

Overgrown shrub & hedge removal

Foundation shrubs, out-of-control hedges, and beds that have taken over — pulled out cleanly with the roots, hauled off, and left ready for whatever comes next.

02

Brush & invasive growth clearing

Thickets, briars, privet, and other invasive growth mulched or removed. We handle the tangled, thorny stuff so you can reclaim the property line.

03

Wooded lot & tree line clearing

Selective clearing along tree lines or full wooded-lot clearing for builds, driveways, and renovations. Sized for anything from a single row to full acreage.

04

Fence line & property border cleanup

Overgrown fence rows and back property lines cleared back to open ground so you can see, mow, and use the edges of your land again.

05

Full property cleanups

Residential, commercial, and estate properties that have gotten away from you — cleared, cleaned, and reset. No job is too far gone.

06

Debris hauling & site cleanup

Everything we cut, we haul. Brush, branches, stumps, and cleared vegetation loaded out and taken off-site so the property is clean and usable when we leave.

How SOTE can help you

Overgrown properties don't fix themselves. Every season the brush thickens, the shrubs push further into the yard, and what used to be a weekend job turns into something that needs equipment and a crew. Handling it now costs less and takes less time than waiting another year.

SOTE LLC clears overgrown residential and commercial properties across Covington, Mandeville, Hammond, Slidell, Abita Springs, Bush, and the rest of St. Tammany Parish. We bring in the equipment — including tracked skid steers and mini excavators — clear efficiently, and haul everything off, leaving your property clean and ready for whatever comes next.

FAQs

Common questions about land clearing

How overgrown is too overgrown?

There's no such thing as too far gone. We've cleared properties where the shrubs were taller than the house, fence lines that hadn't been touched in a decade, and lots so overgrown you couldn't walk through them. With tracked skid steers and mini excavators, we can get through and haul out almost anything.

If you're not sure whether the job is workable, send a couple of photos or have us walk the property. We'll tell you honestly what it takes.

Do you haul everything off, or do I have to deal with the debris?

We haul everything off. Brush, branches, cleared shrubs, stumps, and vegetation get loaded out and taken off-site as part of the job. The whole point is to leave your property clean and usable, not to leave you a pile to figure out.

Can you clear a lot before we build or renovate?

Yes. Pre-build and pre-renovation clearing is a big part of what we do. We work with homeowners, builders, and commercial owners to clear lots, tree lines, and building footprints so the site is ready for the next phase. Let us know what's coming next and we'll clear to fit.

How long does a land clearing job take?

It depends on the size and density of the growth, but most jobs fall in one of these ranges:

  • Overgrown shrubs and foundation beds: half a day to a full day
  • Fence lines and property borders: one to two days
  • Full residential lot cleanup: two to four days
  • Wooded lots and full acreage clearing: multiple days depending on scope

We give you a firm timeline when we quote the job, and we haul off as we go so the property is clean when we finish.
