Professional Brush Clearing & Lot Recovery in Indianapolis
Let’s be honest: Nature moves fast in Indiana. That small patch of weeds from last year can quickly turn into a wall of invasive honeysuckle and brambles that steals your sunlight and your square footage.
Whether you’ve just inherited a "mystery yard" from a previous owner or that back acre has simply gotten away from you, Schott Services is here to help you take it back. We don’t just "mow over" the problem; we specialize in the heavy-duty reclamation of empty lots, wooded edges, and overgrown fence lines across Indianapolis, Carmel, and Fishers. Our service are includes Greenwood to the south, Avon to the west, Lawrence to the east and Zionsville to the north.

Why work with us?
Most big land-clearing outfits won't show up for a residential backyard, and most lawn care companies don't have the "teeth" for heavy brush. We fill that gap. Using specialized, compact equipment, we can slip into tight spaces to chew through tall weeds and saplings without tearing up your healthy, established trees.
From "The Jungle" to a Finished Lawn:
-
Selective Clearing: We carve out new trails and maintain wooded paths so you can actually walk your property.
-
The "Big Stuff": We remove the obstacles—boulders, old farm equipment, rotten decks, and forgotten stick piles.
-
The Finishing Touch: We don't just leave you with bare dirt. With our power raking and grading tools, we prep the soil so your new yard is ready for seed, play, and pets.
Reasons For Land Clearing
Prepping the Canvas: What Land Clearing Really Means for Your Property
â
Think of land clearing as hitting the "reset button" on your real estate. Whether you’re prepping for a new pole barn or finally reclaiming a corner of an Indianapolis estate, it’s about more than just cutting grass—it’s about creating a clean, workable foundation.
Here is how we handle the "heavy lifting" to get your site project-ready:
â
1. Precision Site Preparation
Before you can build a fence, shed, or barn, you need a level playing field. We specialize in small-scale site prep for residential backyards and local businesses. While the "big guys" might not want to mobilize their massive rigs for a single backyard, we excel in these tight spaces, removing the rocks and trash debris that stand in the way of your foundation.
â
2. Strategic Vegetation Removal
We don't believe in "clear-cutting" everything in sight. Our process is surgical. We use specialized equipment to weave between your prize oaks and maples, removing only the invasive shrubs and "junk trees" that choke out your yard. Whether it's uprooting thickets or mulching brush, we preserve the aesthetic value of your property while removing the mess.
â
3. Clearing the "Forgotten" Obstacles
Over years of neglect, lots often become graveyards for old farm equipment, concrete chunks, and collapsed fencing. We don't just move this stuff—we haul it away. From old barn demolition to removing discarded construction materials, we leave you with a clean slate, free of hazards and hidden "surprises" in the dirt.
â
4. Reshaping Your Land: Grading & Drainage
A flat lot isn't always a good lot. Proper land clearing includes corrective grading. Using our mini-skid steer equipped with a power rake and tiller, we reshape your soil to ensure water flows away from your structures. This prevents erosion and creates the perfect stable foundation for your next landscaping or construction phase.
"John just finished up clearing my back and side yards, pouring a ~650 sq. ft. gravel parking pad, and seeding the entire new lawn. He took an unmanageable jungle and turned it into what I know will be a beautiful new yard in just a day and a half of work! John works faster than fast and nails every detail. The best part is his price is more than reasonable. I'm so glad I found John and look forward to the next project."

"My fiancée and I had let our backyard growth get out of control to the point that we needed professional help. Schott Sevices did an EXCELLENT job clearing it all out. The backyard has never looked better and John was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be return customers."
