Clear the Work Area Before Excavation Begins
ASRE provides lot clearing for residential and commercial work in Allentown and the Lehigh Valley. The work focuses on debris, old pavement, old structures, overgrowth and obstructions that prevent construction access. The crew confirms the specific clearing work at the site visit and discusses excavation or grading needed afterward.
Identify the areas you want cleared, the construction footprint and the access route. Point out any existing features you want to keep. Old concrete might need breaking and hauling, while an old structure needs a clear demolition plan. ASRE handles clearing alongside excavation and grading, but the estimate should distinguish these tasks. Explain what you intend to build so the work area is cleared for a specific next step.
Lot Clearing With Defined Removal Limits
The crew will confirm the work at the site visit, including which obstructions and materials are covered.
- Clearing loose debris from the agreed construction work area
- Removing leftover building material that blocks planned site work
- Breaking and hauling old pavement included in the clearing work
- Removing old structures after confirming the demolition requirements
- Clearing overgrowth and obstructions within the agreed footprint
- Opening defined access routes for equipment and deliveries
- Rough grading after clearing when included in the estimate
How it works
How to Define a Lot Clearing Job
- 01
Outline the area to be cleared
Show ASRE the intended building, driveway or site-work footprint. Mark the clearing area and the features you want to keep on the rest of the lot.
- 02
Identify the obstructions
Point out debris, old pavement, leftover structures and overgrowth preventing access or excavation. The crew will confirm the clearing work at the site visit, including how each obstruction will be removal.
- 03
Mark the features staying in place
Discuss nearby pavement, structures and other features you want kept. Include property access and known utility information so the clearing limits fit the site and the proposed work.
- 04
Clear and remove agreed materials
ASRE performs the confirmed clearing and related removal work. Old pavement and structures should be identified separately because they involve different tasks from collecting loose debris or opening an obstructed route.
- 05
Plan the ground work that follows
A cleared area still needs the right elevations and base for its intended use. Discuss rough grading, excavation or full site preparation before treating an open work area as ready for construction.
For Property Owners, Builders and Business Sites
Lot clearing fits homeowners opening an area for a driveway or addition, builders preparing a defined footprint and commercial owners redeveloping an existing site. It also fits properties where debris or old pavement blocks equipment access. ASRE serves Allentown and the surrounding Lehigh Valley, including Bethlehem, Easton, Emmaus, Macungie and Whitehall. The site visit confirms which clearing tasks match the project. Describe the material in the way and the use planned for the ground. Confirm which vegetation will be removed and how your site's conditions affect the land clearing work included.
Project example
Clearing Connected to Demolition and Site Work
ASRE's campground recreation-area project included demolition, site preparation and grading before the commercial concrete and hardscape construction. The work shows how removing existing features connects to the ground work needed for a new layout. ASRE also performed selective demolition in its retaining wall and lower-level entry rebuild. Those are examples of removal tied to a specific construction plan. For your lot, the clearing work is confirmed at the site visit and kept separate from any additional excavation or installation.

Site Preparation
Prepare the ground for a building, pool, concrete surface or hardscape project. Discuss removal, excavation, drainage shaping and base placement around the intended next construction phase.
Learn moreGrading
Reshape ground around buildings, entryways and proposed surfaces. Review runoff paths, fixed elevations and the related wall or drainage work needed for your property.
Learn moreTrenching
Dig routes for water, sewer, drainage, plumbing and footing work. Define the installation requirements, utility coordination, backfill and surface restoration before opening the ground.
Learn moreDemolition
Remove failing walls, masonry, slabs or other existing construction within defined limits. Plan what stays and which excavation, footers or replacement work follows removal.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Need something else? Give us a call.
What do you mean by land clearing?
For ASRE, the work centers on clearing debris, old pavement, old structures, overgrowth and obstructions so the lot is ready for the next work phase. The crew confirms the specific tasks during a site visit. Explain what you want removed and what you plan to build so ASRE can estimate the clearing work for your property.
Does clearing include grading the lot?
Rough grading belongs in the estimate when it is part of the job you request. Clearing removes obstructions; grading changes the ground elevations. A lot with nothing in the way still might need excavation, drainage shaping or a stone base before construction begins. ASRE offers those related services, so describe the finished project during the clearing estimate.
Can you remove old pavement before new site work?
ASRE breaks, removes and hauls concrete and handles old pavement as part of lot clearing and demolition projects. Identify the area to come out and the pavement that stays. If you want a new driveway, slab or walkway afterward, discuss that work separately. The clearing estimate should state whether it includes removal alone or preparation for the replacement.
What if there is an old structure on the lot?
Show the structure to ASRE during the site visit and explain the proposed rebuild. Old structures require a clear demolition plan, including removal limits, access and applicable project requirements. Structures need a separate demolition plan. ASRE handles demolition and related excavation, with the work confirmed for your structure and property.
Can you clear only the access route?
Discuss the route you need for equipment, deliveries or the next construction phase. ASRE's clearing work includes opening access when that is part of the agreed work. Identify the entrance, obstructions and surfaces that need to remain. A narrow access job has different limits from clearing an entire building footprint or removing all existing pavement on a lot.
