How Much Do Land Clearing Contractors Charge in Mississippi?
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 Mississippi-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.

Local rules vary by city:
- Jackson: In Jackson, clearing live natural trees eligible for landscape credit from a site covered by the landscaping and tree standards is prohibited until a clearing permit is issued, which requires an approved landscape plan showing trees 12 inches in caliper or larger.
How to Choose a Contractor in Mississippi
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.
