Land clearing in Sapulpa usually means acreage that has sat for years: pasture gone to cedar, an old homestead lost in the brush, or a route for a long drive that has never been cut. Justin clears it himself and gives you a firm price after he has seen it.
Pasture and old homesteads taken back from cedar, briars and saplings.
The way opened from the county road back to a homesite, ready for a gravel drive.
Old fence rows cleaned out so new fence can be run on the line.
An overgrown lot cleaned off so it can be mowed, sold or built on.
Sapulpa is the seat of Creek County, on old Route 66 southwest of Tulsa, and a corner of the city crosses into Tulsa County. Rock Creek and Polecat Creek come together just southeast of downtown. Sahoma Lake and Pretty Water Lake sit on the edge of town.
Inside the city the lots are older and smaller. Past the city limits it turns into acreage quickly, and much of that acreage has not been worked in a long time. That is where most of the clearing is.
Creek County is old oil country, and Sapulpa grew up on it. Land that has been left alone for decades often has more in it than trees. Old fence, pipe, cable, a concrete pad, the footings of a house that is long gone.
None of that shows until the brush starts coming off, and all of it slows a machine down. That is why Justin wants to see the place before he gives you a figure. If there turns out to be an old slab, a shed or a fallen-in barn in the middle of it, that can come out on the same job. See demolition in Sapulpa.
Low ground along the creeks grows thick and stays soft after rain. A machine on soft ground makes ruts and gets very little done, so bottom ground is best cleared when it is dry. The start date depends on the weather as much as on the calendar.
If the property sits in a mapped floodplain, ask the city or the county floodplain office before you fill or regrade it.
Much of the clearing around Sapulpa is for a house set well back from the road. Three things get opened up together: the homesite, the route for the drive, and the path the water and power lines will take to reach the house.
Decide roughly where each one goes before the machine arrives, so nothing extra gets cleared. Flag the trees you are keeping, be sure where your property corners are, and show him any well, septic tank or buried line on the place. Utility locates through OKIE811 come before any digging, as Oklahoma law requires.
Once the ground is open, the same operator can build the gravel drive, cut the pad and dig the trenches for water and electric.
You choose what becomes of the brush. On acreage, most people have it pushed into piles. It can also be loaded and hauled away, which is the usual answer on a lot in town.
If you plan to burn the piles, find out what is allowed first. State open burning rules ask for at least 500 feet between a land clearing fire and any occupied home off your own property. Creek County can call a burn ban when it is dry, and inside Sapulpa city limits the fire department is the place to ask.
There is no per-acre figure on this page, because acres are not what decides the price. What decides it is how thick the growth is, how big the timber is, what is buried in it, how a machine gets in, and whether the brush stays or leaves.
Justin comes out, goes over it with you and gives you one fixed figure before any work begins. Small jobs are welcome. Half a day with the machine is an ordinary booking.
For the other work he does here, see the Sapulpa page. The main land clearing page covers Tulsa, and there is a page for land clearing in Sand Springs. Elsewhere in Creek County he works in Kiefer, Kellyville and Mounds, and just east in Glenpool. All of the towns are on the service areas page.
Yes. Sapulpa and the Creek County ground around it are part of the area Justin works. He comes out and looks at the property himself, and there is no charge for the estimate.
Yes. That is most of the clearing here. Old fence, pipe and concrete often turn up under the brush, so he looks at the place first and prices what is really there.
Yes. The route is cleared, then the gravel drive is cut, based, crowned and compacted. It is one operator, and both parts can go on one quote.
It depends on how thick the growth is, the size of the timber, the access and whether the brush is piled or hauled. Justin gives you one fixed figure after he has seen the property.
Most jobs end up being two or three of these at once, and they get quoted together.
