Who does land clearing in New Mexico?
5 of the 125 New Mexico listings show land clearing: taking trees, brush and stumps off a lot before anything can be dug or built. Clearing is priced per acre and moves hardest on tree density and the debris plan (mulch on site, burn, or haul off), so settle the debris question first.
