How Much Do Land Clearing Contractors Charge in Kansas?

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 Kansas-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.

Kansas Rules That Affect Your Project

Rule	What it requires	Source
Call 811 before digging	K.S.A. 66-1804 requires an excavator, except in an emergency, to serve notice of intent of excavation at least two full working days but not more than 20 calendar days before the scheduled start date (through Kansas811); the notice is valid for 20 calendar days after the start date. Kansas811 says listed holidays are not counted when determining the legal start date.	Source
Construction stormwater permit	Owners or operators of any project that will disturb one or more acres must obtain coverage under the KDHE Stormwater Runoff From Construction Activities General Permit by submitting a Notice of Intent at least 60 days before starting construction; the general permit fee is $60 per year (as stated by Johnson County, Kansas).

Burning cleared brush	K.A.R. 28-19-645 prohibits open burning except as allowed by K.A.R. 28-19-647 and 28-19-648. Open burning of trees and brush from nonagricultural land clearing requires approval from KDHE (written request with location, amount of material, nearby roads and dwellings within 1,000 feet, and fire authority approval); approved burns may not start at night, in winds under 5 or over 15 mph, or within 1,000 feet of an occupied dwelling unless the occupant is notified. Under K.A.R. 28-19-645a, in Sedgwick, Johnson, Wyandotte and other listed counties open burning is restricted during April, and in Johnson, Wyandotte and Sedgwick counties land-clearing burns in April require local authority approval.

Local rules vary by city:

Wichita: In Wichita, every construction site must use erosion and sediment control best management practices, and sites of one acre or more must file their state KDHE Notice of Intent with the city’s Office of Central Inspection when applying for a building permit and keep a stormwater pollution prevention plan.

How to Choose a Contractor in Kansas

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.
