TreeTec handles land and lot clearing in Buffalo for new subdivisions, commercial pads, and individual building lots. As the Wright County seat continues to expand along I-94, we work with builders and homeowners to clear sites efficiently. Our ISA Certified Arborist oversees every project.
Buffalo is the fastest-growing city in Wright County, and that growth means land is being cleared for new homes, commercial buildings, and infrastructure at a steady pace. As the county seat and a major stop along the I-94 corridor between the Twin Cities and St. Cloud, Buffalo has seen subdivision after subdivision push outward into what was recently farmland and wooded acreage. TreeTec provides land and lot clearing services throughout Buffalo and the surrounding area.
Our crews work out of Cokato, just west of Buffalo, so we know the area well. Our ISA Certified Arborist is involved in project planning from the start, ensuring the clearing work is done right — especially when trees worth saving are on the property.
Buffalo's development patterns create several distinct types of clearing work:
We bring the right equipment for the job. Residential lots in town get careful chainsaw work with a skid steer for material handling. Larger parcels get the full treatment — skid steer, grapple loader, and a chainsaw crew working together to bring trees down, process material, and clear the site in a fraction of the time hand crews alone would take.
Stump grinding is included as part of our clearing work. Every stump gets ground below grade so the surface is ready for grading, landscaping, or construction. If you have an existing property with stumps from previous removals, we offer stump grinding as a standalone service as well.
Our tree removal crews are the same people doing the clearing work, which means the felling and rigging quality is professional-grade even on a clearing project.
Buffalo sits in a transition zone where oak woodlands, river bottom hardwoods along the South Fork of the Crow River, and planted shelterbelts all show up on buildable parcels. Not all of those trees should come down. A healthy bur oak that has been growing for 80 years adds immediate value to a new home site — shade, character, and curb appeal that no amount of landscaping can replicate quickly.
Our arborist identifies the keepers on your site: species, health, structural integrity, and position relative to the planned construction. We flag and protect those trees during clearing so they survive the construction process undamaged.

Cost depends on lot size, tree density, tree size, and access. A lightly wooded quarter-acre lot is a different job than a heavily timbered two-acre parcel. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate price based on the actual conditions, not a guess over the phone.
Yes. We work with builders and general contractors throughout the Buffalo area regularly. We can schedule clearing to align with your excavation timeline so there is no gap between clearing and the next phase of construction.
We handle everything. Logs are removed, brush is chipped or hauled, and stumps are ground. When we leave, the lot is clean and ready. You do not need to arrange separate hauling or disposal.
Properties in shoreland overlay zones near Buffalo Lake may have additional setback and vegetation requirements through Wright County. Our arborist is familiar with these situations and can help you understand what is allowed before we start work.
