“I highly recommend Buffalo Tree Soldiers! I had two small dead trees in my backyard, one of which had snapped at the base and was leaning against a healthy tree and my neighbor’s fence. It was a situation I didn’t feel comfortable handling myself, so I reached out to Buffalo Tree Soldiers. Roy responded quickly and came out the very same morning to assess the job. After inspecting the trees, he offered to take care of everything that same day. I was extremely happy to have the issue resolved so quickly and professionally. The service was excellent from start to finish. Roy was knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. The pricing was fair and affordable, and the work was completed safely and promptly. If you’re looking for fast, reliable, and professional tree service, Buffalo Tree Soldiers is the company to call. It’s refreshing to find a local company that delivers exactly what they promise.”

How we work
How We Approach Land Clearing in Western New York
Every clearing project is different. A backyard overgrown with buckthorn and sumac is a different scope than a wooded half-acre being prepped for a slab. We assess every job and build a plan that meets your timeline and budget.
Planning Your Land Clearing Project
The Buffalo metro area has seen steady residential development and property redevelopment in recent years, from Tonawanda and Cheektowaga to outer Amherst and West Seneca. Many of the lots being cleared today haven't been actively maintained in decades — they're overgrown with invasive species like buckthorn, multiflora rose, and scrub sumac that are deeply established across Western New York. We understand these local conditions and bring the right equipment and approach to clear efficiently without unnecessary disruption to adjacent properties or the surrounding landscape.
Good clearing starts with a clear scope. Before we start cutting, we walk the property with you to identify what stays, what goes, and any access constraints. If you have a survey, permit drawings, or site plan — bring them. They help us align the clearing boundary accurately and avoid anything that needs to stay.
Selective Clearing vs. Full Clearing
Not every property needs a complete clear-cut. Many homeowners in Amherst, Cheektowaga, and West Seneca want to open up space while keeping mature trees that provide shade and character. We do selective clearing — removing invasives, brush, smaller trees, and problem trees while leaving the specimens worth keeping.
- Full clearing: all trees, stumps, and brush removed to grade
- Selective clearing: targeted removal, valuable trees preserved
- Brush-only clearing: remove scrub and invasives, keep trees
- Stump grinding included or quoted separately
Permits and Regulations in the Buffalo Area
Some Buffalo-area municipalities require permits for lot clearing — especially for projects that remove a significant number of trees or disturb drainage. Amherst, Cheektowaga, and Tonawanda each have their own rules. We'll advise you on what's typically required in your area and what documentation you may need. Permit compliance is your responsibility, but we'll help you understand the process.
