Frequently Asked Questions

Can Custom Grounds clear a multi-acre rural lot, not just a single yard tree?
Yes, large-scale lot clearing is one of the services their equipment and crew are built for. Multi-acre clearing involves felling and chipping or hauling trees, removing stumps, and often grading the land to a usable state, all of which they handle as an integrated project.
What's the difference between stump grinding and stump grubbing?
Grinding uses a machine to shred the stump down several inches below grade, which is sufficient for most residential situations where you want to plant grass over the spot. Grubbing removes the entire stump and root ball with excavation equipment, which is necessary when you're pouring concrete or building a structure over that area.
Do I need to notify anyone before clearing trees on rural property in Montgomery County?
For most private rural land, no permit is required for tree removal, but it's worth confirming if any of the trees are near a county road right-of-way or a wetland area. If you're clearing land that's enrolled in a conservation program, check with the program administrator before starting work.
How long does it typically take to clear a building site in Raymond, IL?
A typical residential building lot can often be cleared in one to two days depending on tree density, stump count, and how far debris needs to be hauled. Larger rural parcels take longer, and the timeline also depends on soil conditions and how much grading work follows the clearing.
Can excavation work be done at the same time as tree removal to save time?
On a well-planned project, yes. Coordinating tree removal and excavation in sequence, or simultaneously on different sections of a large property, avoids the delays that come from waiting for separate contractors. That coordination is one of the real practical advantages of working with a company that handles both trades.
What happens to all the trees and brush after a lot is cleared?
Wood can be chipped on-site and left as mulch, hauled away, or in some cases burned depending on local burn ordinances and the time of year. Large logs may be cut for firewood if the landowner wants them. Discuss your preference during the estimate so the crew knows what equipment and disposal plan to bring.
