Arizona Land Clearing Contractors at a Glance
| City | Contractors | Also stump grinding |
|---|---|---|
| Phoenix | 3 | 1 |
Counts come from the listings on each city page. The Contractors column is the number of land clearing companies listed; each confirms land clearing on its own website. The other columns count companies whose sites also confirm that service, so one company can appear in more than one column.
How Much Do Land Clearing Contractors Charge in Arizona?
Angi reports an average land clearing project cost of $3,780 in 2026, and HomeGuide estimates $1,200 to $8,000 per acre. These measure different things: one is per project, the other per acre. Stump removal, debris haul-off and grading are often priced separately. No published source gives a reliable Arizona-specific average, so use these as national planning figures and get local quotes. See land clearing cost per acre for prices by vegetation, lot size and method.
Arizona Rules That Affect Your Project
| Rule | What it requires | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Call 811 before digging | The excavator must notify the one-call notification center at least two business days before beginning excavation (A.R.S. 40-360.22 as amended by SB 1137, Laws 2026, Ch. 147). Large projects need notice at least 15 business days or 21 calendar days before the proposed start. Facility operators must respond within two working days. | Source |
| Construction stormwater permit | ADEQ issues construction stormwater coverage under the AZPDES Construction General Permit (2025 CGP, AZG2025-001, effective August 29, 2025). Coverage is required for construction that disturbs 1 acre or more, or less than 1 acre if part of a larger common plan of development or sale that will disturb 1 acre or more, and that discharges to Arizona surface waters or an MS4. | Source |
| Burning cleared brush | Under A.A.C. R18-2-602, ‘construction burning’ of wood or vegetative material from land clearing and site preparation is allowed only with an open burning permit from the ADEQ Director or a delegated authority, issued for up to one year. This state rule applies only in counties without independent authority to permit fires; Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties run their own open burning rules. | Source |
Local rules vary by city:
- Phoenix: In Phoenix, Maricopa County requires a Rule 310 dust control permit before you disturb 0.10 acre (4,356 sq ft) or more, which covers most land clearing.
How to Choose a Contractor in Arizona
Walk the property with each bidder or send the same marked site plan. Ask what happens to stumps and roots, whether debris is hauled, burned or mulched, who checks tree, grading and stormwater permits, and what condition the site will be in when the crew leaves. Compare written quotes for the same scope, not headline prices.
For background, read the land clearing guide, land clearing cost per acre and land clearing permits.
