Invasive plants in King George County
Autumn olive, tree of heaven, Bradford pear, multiflora rose and kudzu take over fields, lot edges and the woods along roads and streams. Forestry mulching clears them quickly and leaves a layer of mulch that protects the soil.
Spotted lanternfly: King George County isn't on the state's list of counties where reporting is no longer required, so if you see one, report it with the state's Invasive Species Reporting Tool, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Tree of heaven is its favorite host, and Virginia lists it as a noxious weed, according to Virginia Cooperative Extension. Our Spotted Lanternfly page shows how to spot and control it.
We clear almost all invasives without chemicals. Tree of heaven is the one exception, and our Invasive Species Removal page explains why and what to do about it.
Permits and Chesapeake Bay rules in King George County
The whole county is a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area, according to King George County.
2,500 square feet or more: disturbing 2,500 square feet or more inside a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area requires an approved erosion and sediment control plan and a land disturbance permit, according to the county's Erosion & Stormwater Management page. Plan on this rule and confirm it for your parcel with the county.

During the estimate, we'll let you know what the law says for your property. The property owner is responsible for getting any permit or plan that's needed, and we install the silt fence and other controls it calls for.

Questions King George landowners ask
Can I clear my waterfront for a view? It depends on the buffer rules. The 100-foot buffer next to the water has its own rules, so talk to the county first. We'll plan the work around what's allowed.
Can you clear a lot for a new home? Yes. For a building site, we usually combine methods: traditional clearing where the house and driveway will go, and forestry mulching around it.
Do I have to burn the brush? No. Forestry mulching leaves no brush piles, so there's nothing to burn or haul. That also means no waiting on Virginia's 4 PM Burning Law, which limits outdoor burning from February 15 to April 30, according to the Virginia Department of Forestry.
How long does a job take? It always comes back to the site conditions: how dense the forest is, the size of the trees, the slope and ground, access and the weather. A common rule of thumb in the industry is about an acre a day. Production mulching, where the goal is clearing the land as quickly as possible, is the fastest. A park-like setting, where we keep selected trees and leave a cleaner, more detailed finish, takes additional time. We'll walk your property and give you an estimated timeline along with your written price.
What does it cost? Every property is different, so we price each job after walking it. The price depends on how thick the brush is, the size of the trees, slope, access and total acreage. You'll get a written price before any work starts.

Rated 5.0 stars from 53 Google reviews.
King George County is rural land between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers, with farms, wooded acreage and waterfront properties. Kevin, the owner, brings 20 years of experience in land development to every job. We clear lots for new homes, reclaim overgrown fields, open up river views where the rules allow and clear invasive plants without tearing up the ground.
Kevin walks every property and gives the estimate himself. Wherever it's possible, we prefer forestry mulching, because it's the most environmentally friendly option, and we'll recommend the right method for your land.
