Clear Trees to Open Up Your Property

Non-hazardous tree removal services for land clearing and property improvement projects in the Hot Springs, Arkansas area.

If you own wooded acreage or a residential lot in Hot Springs or a surrounding area with trees that block access, crowd structures, or limit how you use the land, removing those trees opens up space for driveways, outbuildings, pasture, or visibility. Tree removal as part of a clearing project focuses on healthy or non-threatening trees that simply stand in the way of your plans. Once the trees are down and cut into manageable sections, you can move forward with fencing, grading, or planting.


Roughneck Land Services LLC removes non-hazardous trees on wooded lots and rural properties throughout the Hot Springs area, using chainsaws and skid equipment to fell, section, and stack timber or clear it entirely from the site. This service does not include trees that are leaning over homes, touching power lines, or damaged by storms. It is designed for land improvement and access projects where trees are healthy but unwanted, and it works well when combined with stump grinding and debris haul-off to leave your property ready for the next phase of work.

How Trees Are Removed During Land Clearing

Trees are assessed for height, lean, and proximity to structures or property lines before any cuts are made. In Hot Springs, where pine, oak, and cedar dominate rural lots, each tree is felled in a planned direction to avoid damaging fences, neighboring trees, or the ground you want to preserve. The trunk is then sectioned into lengths and either stacked on site or hauled away, depending on your preference and whether you plan to use the wood.


After the trees are down, you will see open ground with stumps and scattered limbs where the canopy used to be. The change in sunlight and access is immediate, and the cleared area can be mowed, graded, or prepped for construction. Removing trees as part of a larger clearing project improves visibility from the road, creates space for equipment, and reduces future maintenance tied to falling branches and leaf buildup.


Brush, limbs, and smaller debris are often chipped or piled separately from logs, and stumps are left in place unless grinding is added to the scope. This service does not include hazardous removals or trees that require roping, rigging, or crane work. If you are clearing land for a fence line, driveway, or building pad, tree removal can be scheduled as part of a coordinated site preparation plan.

Property owners in Hot Springs who are clearing land for the first time often want to know what happens to the wood, how long the work takes, and whether stumps are included. These answers provide clarity before the work begins.

Why would I need tree removal if the trees are healthy?
You need tree removal when healthy trees block building sites, driveways, fence lines, or views, or when they prevent sunlight from reaching grass and garden areas. Clearing trees also improves access for equipment and reduces long-term maintenance.

Are stumps removed during tree removal?
Stumps are left in place unless stump grinding is added as a separate service. Grinding can be scheduled during the same visit or completed later depending on your schedule and budget.
