Property map
Outline the ground you want cleared and see a planning range
Type the property address. The USGS aerial opens on your land. Trace the woods, the brush, or a trail line, and USGS elevation shows the ground steeper than 30 percent. The range comes from the same rate table as the step-by-step calculator.

How the map range works
Each piece you draw gets measured in acres. A trail counts as its length times its width. We pull USGS 3DEP elevation for the ground under each piece, work out the slope cell by cell, and split the acres into three bands: under 15 percent, 15 to 30 percent, and over 30 percent.
The bands run through the same production rates, slope factors and day rates as the step-by-step calculator. The vegetation you pick sets the machine. Light brush and mixed saplings go to the tracked forestry mulcher. Dense hardwood and storm debris go to the chainsaw crew with grapple and chipper. Each machine gets one mobilization, rounded up to whole days.
The map also takes bush hogging, stumps and driveway work. Outline a field to bush hog and we read its slope the same way. Click each stump and set how many inches across it is. Draw a driveway on its centerline, pick the job and the width, and we read the grade along the line. Every piece gets a number on the map and a line on your work list. We have not posted rates for these jobs yet, so their lines read "Priced on the walk" and stay out of the range.
The range is a planning number. Rock, access and what the aerial hides show up on the walk-through, and the walk sets the written quote.
