Turning an Overgrown Lot Back Into Usable Land

A neglected lot only gets worse on its own. Brush thickens, saplings grow into real trees, fallen limbs pile up, and before long you’ve got ground you can’t build on, plant on, or even walk through — and it drags down everything around it. Clearing it is how you take that land back.


Greenstar Tree has been clearing lots across Suffolk County since 1996, and we bring the same arborist knowledge and state-of-the-art equipment to a clearing job that we bring to careful tree work. We take out the unwanted trees and brush, haul off the debris, and leave the ground clean and ready for whatever’s next — and we clear selectively, so the trees and features you want kept stay right where they are. As a family-owned business, we treat your property like our own, work efficiently without cutting corners, and are available 24/7 when a job can’t wait.

What Clearing a Lot Does for You


Opening up an overgrown lot changes more than the view:

Makes the Land Buildable – Cleared, level ground is ready for construction, landscaping, or whatever you have planned.

Cuts the Safety Risk – Dense brush, deadwood, and fallen limbs are hazards. Clearing them makes the property safer.

Clears Out the Pests – Overgrown lots shelter ticks, rodents, and insects. Take away the cover and you take away the habitat.

Reclaims Wasted Space – A lot you can’t use is dead weight. Cleared, it’s land you can actually do something with.

Protects Nearby Structures – Removing overgrown trees and limbs near buildings and fences heads off falling-branch damage.

What Land Clearing Costs in Jamaica Plain

Land clearing costs depend on the size of the lot, how thick the growth is, the number and size of the trees, and how easily our equipment can get in. A small, lightly overgrown yard is quick; a large lot packed with mature trees and heavy brush is a bigger job.


That’s why we give free, no-obligation estimates after we’ve seen the lot, rather than a rough number over the phone. We’ll walk the property, assess the scope, and give you a clear quote covering the clearing, any stump grinding, hauling the debris off, and the site cleanup.

When Should You Clear Your Land or Lot?

Clearing usually makes sense when:

You’re getting ready to build or start a project

The lot’s overgrown with brush, weeds, or undergrowth

Fallen trees or storm debris are cluttering the ground

The land is drawing pests, rodents, or ticks

You’re taking back a neglected lot to landscape or sell

Crowded trees are blocking access, sightlines, or sun

Tree Removal

“I have used Ben and his team for two projects: 1. a major tree removal off Boylston St. and 2. significant pruning of Maple trees over my house and over my neighbors houses. I found Ben and his team to be very professional and I like knowing I am supporting a local JP area business. Ben is very open and honest and provides options when issues arise. Overall, I found Greenstar Tree and Ben to be very knowledgeable about their craft, friendly and open and value driven. I thought they did a great job!”

Erick K.

Pruning & Trimming

“Ben and Will went above and beyond what I expected! Living in south boston i thought it was gonna be impossible to prune the tree in the back of my property due to the closed in nature of my house. It was amazing to see what they could do and how they managed to accomplish so much within such a confined area. I would give Greenstar tree 10 stars if possible and will be recommending them to all my neighbors here in southie! Thanks again Ben!”

Jeffrey F.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Noah did amazing work at a fair price. I had multiple very tall trees in hard-to-access locations and on top of power lines that they trimmed back from my roof and siding. They were kind and professional and made sure to explain the work they would do and any advice on how to handle each of the trees in the future. I highly recommend and will be using Greenstar’s services moving forward.”

Nick M.

Tree Removal

“I had a great experience with Green Star Tree out of Jamaica Plain. Ben was able to schedule me almost immediately after our initial conversation for a tree that had fallen in my driveway onto two vehicles.
He was professional, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Ben went above and beyond, and Will was also fantastic—kind, helpful, and just as dedicated to getting the job done right.
They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be hiring them again for future work. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable tree work.

Deniqua L.

Pruning & Trimming

“I love working with Ben because he is super easy to deal with, wicked honest, and just an all around happy guy. He’s the most experienced tree guy I have ever met who is still working hard out there and I’ve been in the landscaping and tree industry for twenty six years myself !”

Andrew B.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Bertram did a wonderful job for us. The hard to reach branches of our oak were expertly pruned and our very large dead cherry was removed. All the wood was hauled away and they left our yard in grade a condition. Also, Ben took the time to explain why he pruned in the manner he did. His expertise was very helpful throughout.”

Makeit G.

Pruning & Trimming

“Greenstar tree did an excellent job pruning several trees in my yard including my beloved red bud. Ben and his crew are incredibly hard working. They took great care to protect my perennial garden and offered excellent advice on what should be pruned, removed, and maintained. We are very pleased.”

Kate C.

Cabling & Bracing

Five Stars! The Greenstar team offers high-quality, highly responsive, expert and professional services. We have towering hemlocks in our backyard and love how they make our yard feel like a secret garden. Ben was highly knowledgeable and took great care to balance the need to prune for vigorous health and preserve tree cover in the canopy. He also expertly tackled some other trees that have grown sideways over the years. Ben is a true pro! We felt our trees were in great hands and highly recommend Greenstar.
