Land clearing takes an overgrown lot or tract back to open, usable ground. We do that work in New Iberia and across Acadiana, on town lots and on acreage out in the parish. Brush, vines, briars and small trees come out. What is left is ground you can mow, build on, or put up for sale.
Growth barely stops in this part of Louisiana. Warm weather runs most of the year, and the rain keeps coming. A lot that got cleaned up two seasons back can be thick brush again. Chinese tallow and Chinese privet, both listed as invasive by the LSU AgCenter, take over old fields fast.

We look at the job before any equipment comes out. You tell us what has to go and what you want standing, and we mark it that way. A mini excavator handles brush, root balls and small trees. A compact track loader pushes material into piles and gets into tight spots near a fence or a house.
Underbrushing is the version where the big trees stay. We pull the brush, vines and small growth out from under the big trees and leave the canopy alone. Cut material goes into dump trailers or roll-off containers and leaves the property. Stumps are a separate job, and we dig those out with the excavator on stump removal work.
Most rural property in Acadiana drains through roadside ditches and coulees. Iberia Parish Public Works maintains 815 miles of canals and drainage ditches, plus more than 400 roadside ditches. When brush and saplings close in on a ditch line, water slows down and stands. Cleaning and reshaping that ditch is drainage work we handle with the excavator. With the growth off, you can see how the lot falls and whether it needs lot grading.
Iberia Parish treats tall growth in its unincorporated areas as a nuisance. The limit is an average of 18 inches in a residential area, and 30 inches outside one. The parish can have a lot cut and bill the owner, and unpaid charges can become a lien. Other parishes and towns set their own limits, so check with your local office.
Most calls come down to a few things. Somebody bought a lot and needs a home site opened before a builder can start. A family tract sat for years and is going on the market. Old fencing and storm trash usually turn up under the brush, and that part is debris removal.
Hunting land is the other big one. Fence lines get opened back up and brush comes off around a camp. Lanes get cut so a truck can get in. We do the same work on land clearing in Lafayette and across the rest of Acadiana.

View DetailsCompact excavators and a track loader work in town lots, back yards and farm gates. Tight access rarely stops a job, and the ground takes less damage than it would under bigger machines.
We live and work here, so Iberia Parish and the towns around it are short runs. Estimates happen fast and the machines show up when the schedule says they will.
Teardown, stumps, dirt, culvert, driveway: the same outfit can carry a property from overgrown or condemned to pad-ready. One schedule and one number instead of four subcontractors.
We price after looking at the property, the access and the ground. You get a real number before work starts, and the site is left clean when it ends.

Jason was a pleasure to do business with. He had a fair price and did excellent work. I will definitely use Elite Excavation Services again in the future
I needed some debris removed and Elite Excavation came through very timely and the job was done smoothly!
Great service with a reasonable price. The operator did a great job with my shed demolition! He left the place very clean and ready for my new shop. I highly recommend Jason and his crew.
