Central-South Pacific — Jacó, Quepos, Manuel Antonio, Dominical, Uvita

Open up the view without fighting the mountain, or the law

On the coast, cutting trees carries two risks: damaging what's around them and running into environmental rules. We connect you with contractors who know both sides and clear lots carefully.

A common story: you buy a lot near Uvita, fly home, and eighteen months later the jungle has taken it back. Clearing is part of owning land here. But Costa Rica protects much of what grows on the coast, including certain species, springs and stream buffers, and SINAC enforces it. Clearing the wrong tree can mean fines and a stop-work order while you're thousands of kilometers away. The contractors we connect you with know what can be cleared, what needs a permit, and how to take down large trees on a slope without them landing on the road or the house below. They can document the work with photos while you're abroad.

What's included

  • Tree and risk assessment
  • Controlled sectional felling near houses or power lines
  • High pruning and branch clearing
  • Stump removal or grinding if needed
  • Brush clearing of the lot

Frequently asked questions

Can I clear my lot to build?

Clearing brush is generally fine. Cutting trees, especially near springs or streams, may need a SINAC permit. Your contractor will guide you.

Do you handle fallen trees after storms?

Yes, several local contractors handle emergencies, especially in rainy season when trees fall on roads or roofs.

How much does lot clearing cost?

It depends on size, slope and vegetation. After seeing the lot, the contractor gives you a fixed price.
