Before any foundation goes in, before any utilities are run, the land has to be cleared. DLI handles land clearing from single overgrown lots to 150-acre development sites — which happens to be the largest single clearing project we’ve completed.
We bring in our own bulldozers, excavators with thumbs and grapples, and skid steers with mulching attachments. Trees come down, stumps come out, brush gets chipped or hauled. The site gets rough-graded and ready for the next phase of work — whether that’s our crews continuing on, or someone else’s.
Land clearing on Long Island isn’t just about cutting trees. There are wetlands buffers to respect, neighbors to consider, and — increasingly — local ordinances about tree replacement. We’ve worked with North Hills, Manhasset, and Plainview municipalities for decades and know what each one expects.
For developers, we coordinate clearing with the rest of the site work — clearing, then bulk earthmoving, then drainage, then utilities — so you’re not paying multiple contractors to mobilize the same site three times.
Every job, every scale, follows the same disciplined sequence. No surprises.
We come to you. Walk the property, understand the conditions, identify the constraints — access, utilities, drainage, neighbors.
A detailed estimate based on what we actually see — not a guess from a phone call. Every line item explained.
Equipment and crew show up when scheduled. Owned fleet means no rental-availability delays.
Site finished to spec, debris removed, ready for the next phase — whether that's our crews or someone else's.
From single-lot work to acres of bulk earthmoving — we've done it. Tell us what you're working on.
