How much does it cost to clear a driveway through woods?

Clearing a new driveway through wooded property typically costs $5 to $15 per linear foot, depending on the width needed and density of vegetation. A standard 12-foot wide, 200-foot long driveway through moderate timber would cost approximately $1,500 to $3,000 for clearing alone. Grading and gravel are additional.

Can you add gravel to a cleared driveway?

Yes, we offer complete driveway construction including clearing, grading, and gravel installation. We typically recommend a 6-inch base of crushed limestone for a durable all-weather surface. We can also install culverts for drainage crossings.

How wide should an access road be?

For a standard residential driveway, we recommend 12-14 feet wide. For properties needing equipment access, 16-20 feet is better. ATV trails can be as narrow as 6-8 feet. We'll help you determine the right width based on your intended use.

Can you clear an overgrown existing driveway?

Yes, restoring overgrown driveways is one of our most common requests. We clear all vegetation that has encroached on the driveway, remove overhanging branches, and can regrade and add gravel to restore the surface.

About Our Driveway & Access Road Clearing Service in Michigan City

Overgrown driveways and the need for new access roads are common challenges for rural property owners in the Mid-South. Trees, brush, and vines can quickly overtake gravel driveways, making them impassable. New property owners often need access roads built to reach building sites, hunting areas, or back acreage. Our forestry mulching equipment is the ideal solution — it clears a path through timber and brush in a single pass, leaving a stable mulch surface that resists erosion and mud. For permanent driveways, we can also provide grading and gravel installation. We handle everything from clearing narrow ATV paths to building full-width two-lane access roads.
