Clearing is dirt work, not just chainsaw work
Anyone can drop trees. The real work is what happens after: pulling stumps, grubbing out the root mass, sorting and disposing of the debris, and leaving ground you can actually build on, farm, or mow. Stumps ground flush and buried debris turn into sinkholes and soft spots years later — we take it out properly.
Hooper's Excavation and Demolition clears building lots, fence rows, pasture edges, and full parcels across Central Indiana with our own excavators and dozer — which means big material moves fast.
What we clear
- Building lot clearing — trees, stumps, and brush off your footprint and driveway path, with usable timber set aside if you want it.
- Fence row and field edge clearing — reclaiming tillable acres and letting fences run straight again.
- Selective clearing — taking what has to go and protecting what stays.
- Stump removal and grubbing — the whole root ball, not a flush cut and a prayer.
- Debris handling — hauled off, burned where permitted, or processed on site, your call.
Clearing that sets up the next step
Most clearing jobs are step one of something bigger — a house, a barn, a pond, a driveway. Because we do the excavation too, we clear with the finished project in mind: saving topsoil, protecting drainage paths, and staging the site so the next phase starts clean.
