Your wooded or overgrown property holds potential that requires systematic clearing to prepare for construction or landscape development. The sharp crack of falling branches and steady drone of brush cutters mark progress as our crews work through mixed forest typical of Castine's coastal terrain. Mariner Property Services handles brush removal, small tree cutting, and stump grinding efficiently while using environmentally mindful methods that protect surrounding growth and soil structure throughout Castine and surrounding Hancock County communities.


Our land clearing services address brush, small trees, and stumps using appropriate equipment for coastal Maine properties with mixed forest and rocky soil conditions. This essential preparation reduces fire hazards, improves property access, and creates clean slates for new construction or landscape projects. We focus on selective clearing that preserves valuable trees while removing obstacles to development.

Details That Matter Most

Selective clearing preserves soil stability and valuable mature trees while removing unwanted vegetation and obstacles.


Our crews use mulching heads, stump grinders, and chainsaw techniques suited to Castine's dense understory and rocky conditions. Proper planning addresses these important aspects of land clearing projects:

Why Locals Choose This Option

Coastal Maine forests require clearing methods that account for shallow root systems, seasonal wetness, and protected species considerations.

How do you decide which trees to keep?
We evaluate tree health, species value, and placement relative to your development plans. Mature oaks and pines often stay while removing invasive species and damaged trees that pose safety risks.

What happens to cleared brush and debris?
We chip brush on-site for mulch or arrange proper disposal depending on volume. Larger logs can be cut for firewood or removed, based on your preferences and local regulations.

Can you clear around wetland areas?
Yes, but wetland buffers require special permits and selective hand-cutting methods. We work with local conservation officials to ensure compliance with Maine DEP regulations in sensitive areas.

How deep do you grind stumps?
Standard stump grinding goes 6-8 inches below grade using tracked grinders with carbide teeth. Deeper grinding is available for areas requiring immediate construction or planting.

What about erosion control after clearing?
We install silt barriers and seed disturbed areas with erosion-control grass mixtures. Proper slope management and temporary ground cover prevent soil loss during Castine's wet seasons.

Mixed coastal forests and environmental regulations make land clearing a specialized task that requires local knowledge and proper equipment selection. Secure professional clearing services that protect both your investment and the surrounding ecosystem.
