What Our Customers Say
Real feedback from Capital Region homeowners and property owners.
“We had 2 acres of overgrown brush behind our house that was basically unusable. Empire cleared it in a day and a half. The property looks incredible now and we finally have the backyard we always wanted.”
Jennifer M.
Homeowner • Clifton Park, NY
“After getting quotes from three companies, Empire was the most professional and straightforward. They showed up when they said they would, finished on time, and the site was spotless when they left.”
Tom & Lisa R.
Property Owners • Ballston Spa, NY
“Empire cleared our 12-acre commercial site in under a week. Their equipment and efficiency are on another level compared to the three other contractors we quoted. The site was build-ready when they finished.”
Michael R.
Commercial Developer • Saratoga Springs, NY
“We had 5 acres of dense overgrowth that made our property unusable and a real tick concern. Empire transformed it into a beautiful, park-like space. The estimate was clear and there were zero surprises.”
Sarah L.
Homeowner • Malta, NY
“We needed our wooded lot cleared and graded before our builder could start. Empire handled everything — tree removal, stumps, grading. They turned raw land into a build-ready site in three days.”
David K.
New Home Builder • Schenectady, NY
“I was worried about the mess a land clearing project would leave behind. Empire left our property cleaner than I expected. The mulch they left behind actually looked great as ground cover. Highly recommend.”
