TreeTec provides land and lot clearing in Waverly and surrounding Wright County. Based just down the road in Cokato, we handle everything from rural acreage clearing to residential lot prep near Lake Waverly. ISA Certified Arborist on staff.
Waverly is a small Wright County town with a rural feel, sitting between Howard Lake and Cokato along Highway 12. Lake Waverly anchors the south side of town, and the surrounding landscape is a mix of farmland, scattered woodlots, and lakeshore properties. It's the kind of area where land clearing needs tend to be practical — building a new home on a family parcel, cleaning up an overgrown lakeshore lot, or opening up acreage that's grown in over the years.
TreeTec is based in Cokato, which makes Waverly about as local as it gets for us. We're not driving an hour to get to your property. When you call, we can usually get out for a site visit within days, not weeks.
The work we do around Waverly reflects the area's character — mostly rural and residential, with a growing number of people building new homes on acreage or improving existing properties.
Our clearing crews bring skid steers, grapple loaders, and professional chainsaws — the right tools for the scale of work Waverly properties typically need. We can navigate tight access on rural driveways and lakeshore lots without tearing up more of your property than necessary.
Every cleared tree gets processed on-site or hauled away. Stump grinding is included in our clearing work — we take stumps below grade so you're left with a clean surface ready for construction, landscaping, or whatever comes next.
Lakeshore properties need a different approach than open acreage. Wright County has shoreland zoning rules, and beyond regulations, there are practical reasons to keep certain trees in place. Mature oaks and pines stabilize the bank, filter runoff, and provide the shade and character that make a lakeside property worth having.
Our ISA Certified Arborist assesses each tree on lakeshore clearing projects. We identify which trees are healthy and well-placed, which ones are declining or poorly positioned, and which ones pose a risk to structures. The result is a cleared property that still feels like a wooded lakeside lot — not a bare patch of dirt.
For individual trees that need to come down on your property, we also handle tree removal as a standalone service.

Shoreland properties within Wright County's shoreland overlay district have specific rules about tree removal and vegetation clearing. If your property is within 1,000 feet of Lake Waverly, you'll likely need to check with Wright County Planning and Zoning before clearing. We can help you navigate this during our initial site assessment.
We're in Cokato — about 5 miles west on Highway 12. Waverly is one of our closest service areas, which means quick response times and lower mobilization costs compared to contractors coming from the metro.
Absolutely. Selective clearing is a big part of what we do. We'll walk the property with you, mark the clearing boundaries, and flag any trees you want preserved. Our arborist can also advise on which trees are worth keeping based on species, health, and structural condition.
We clear year-round. Winter is actually ideal for larger parcels because frozen ground supports heavy equipment without rutting, and there's less impact on surrounding vegetation. For lakeshore projects, winter clearing also minimizes erosion risk. That said, we can schedule your project for whatever timing works best with your build plan.
