TreeTec provides land and lot clearing in Annandale for residential building sites, lakeshore properties, and rural acreage. Our ISA Certified Arborist evaluates every site to determine which trees to keep and which to remove. We use skid steers, grapple loaders, and professional chainsaw crews to clear efficiently and clean up completely.
Annandale sits in Wright County surrounded by lakes, mature hardwoods, and a growing number of families looking to build. If you have a lot near Clearwater Lake, Pleasant Lake, or along one of the wooded corridors off Highway 55, chances are you need some level of clearing before you can break ground. TreeTec provides land and lot clearing throughout Annandale and the surrounding area, from single building lots to multi-acre parcels.
We are based in nearby Cokato, so Annandale is a short drive for our crews. Our ISA Certified Arborist is involved in planning every clearing project, which means you get professional judgment on tree health, species value, and which trees are worth saving before any cutting starts.
The mix of lakeshore development and rural residential building in Annandale creates a range of clearing needs:
TreeTec uses a combination of professional chainsaw work, skid steers, and grapple loaders to handle clearing projects of any size. For tighter lakeshore lots, our chainsaw crews do precise felling and limbing. For larger parcels, the skid steer and grapple loader make fast work of moving logs, brush piles, and debris.
Every project includes full cleanup. We do not leave slash piles or scattered debris. Logs are removed or processed, brush is chipped or hauled, and stumps are ground below grade. If you need stump grinding as a standalone service, we do that too.
Our clearing work ties directly into our tree removal expertise. The same crews and equipment that handle complex residential removals are the ones clearing your lot, so the quality of the cut work and the care around kept trees is the same.
Not every project calls for a clean slate. Many Annandale property owners want to keep their best trees — healthy red oaks, white pines, or a mature maple that will shade the future house. Our arborist walks the site with you, identifies which trees are healthy and structurally sound, and flags them for preservation. We then clear around those trees carefully, protecting root zones from equipment damage.
This is especially important on lakeshore lots where mature tree canopy helps with erosion control and property value. Removing everything and starting over is rarely the best approach near the water.

It depends on the scope of work and your lot's location. Properties in shoreland zones near Clearwater Lake or Pleasant Lake may require permits from Wright County. We recommend checking with the City of Annandale or Wright County Planning and Zoning before starting. We can work with your timeline once permits are in place.
Most single residential lots take one to three days depending on tree density and size. A heavily wooded half-acre lot with large oaks takes longer than a lot with mostly small boxelder and brush. We will give you a clear timeline after the site visit.
Yes, selective clearing is one of our most common requests. Our ISA Certified Arborist marks the trees to keep, and our crews clear around them. This works well for Annandale homeowners who want a building envelope and yard but want to preserve the wooded character of the rest of their property.
All material is removed from the site. Merchantable logs can be set aside if you want firewood. Everything else is chipped on site or hauled away. Stumps are ground below grade so the lot is smooth and ready for the next phase of your project.
