Expert Residential Land Clearing in Clive, IA

Residential land clearing in Clive means removing trees, brush, stumps, and overgrown vegetation from your lot. Land Management Resources handles the full scope of work, from cutting and grinding to debris removal and rough grading. Clive sits in a growing western Des Moines suburb where residential lots often feature rolling terrain, mature tree lines, and dense understory growth. That mix of conditions requires the right equipment and a clear plan before any work begins. Whether you are preparing a lot for a new build, clearing a backyard for a deck or addition, or reclaiming overgrown acreage, we assess the site first. We identify what stays, what goes, and how to protect the surrounding grade. Clive's landscaping ordinance also requires that plantings do not interfere with site drainage, so proper clearing and grading matter from the start. Call Land Management Resources to schedule a site visit and get your Clive property cleared the right way.

Yes, we handle heavily wooded and overgrown backyards throughout Clive, including lots with dense brush and mature trees. Our equipment is sized to work on residential properties without damaging the surrounding yard.

We grade cleared areas to protect existing drainage patterns on your Clive lot. Proper grading after clearing helps prevent water from pooling near your home or running toward neighboring properties.

You do not need to be on site during clearing, but a walkthrough before work begins helps us mark what stays and what goes. This step is especially helpful on Clive lots with mixed vegetation or close property lines.

Yes, stump grinding is part of our residential land clearing service in Clive. Removing stumps at the same time prevents regrowth and gives you a fully usable, level surface after clearing is complete.

Clint is the best! Actually takes pride in doing a great job! Highly recommend him and his team! Cleaned up our HOA ponds and removed a tree and made it really look nice! Thanks!

Steve Adkison Google review · October 2025

Clint, at land management resources, did a great job for us. His machine really cleans stuff up, right down to the dirt. I definitely recommend him. He got to our job quickly and his rates are reasonable. The brush was so thick before he started you couldn't walk through it.

Douglas Pedersen Google review · May 2025

Clint was OUTSTANDING to work with. He came out to our site and gave me honest feedback on what would work and what to avoid. His work was top notch. He delivered on all of his promises and gave us an awesome finished product. Our timber looks amazing and is easier to access. We have seen more wildlife since his work and now will be able to maintain it for years to come. Highly recommend Clint not only for the work he does but how professional and honest he is. Great job Clint - appreciate all you did!

Brian Osborn Google review · July 2023

We hired LMR to clear some ditches and fence lines. Clint did an excellent job, was very timely and responsive, and is a genuinely nice guy. I will definitely hire him again.

George Scholten Google review · April 2026

We had a great experience with this company from start to finish they removed several shrubs along the side of the house and the work was done quickly, cleanly and professionally. The crew was courteous, communicating clearly and left the area looking neat. Such a relief to work with a company that does exactly what they promise. We’re very happy with the results and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing this type of work done.
