Every place is different. Mine was 5 acres and I had a few big pole pines that I had cut and sold and profited about $2500. Then the rest was hardwood and very thick scrub pines about 15-20 ft tall. The small scub pines I had to pay to get removed. Hired one of those skid steer mulch grinder machines. It cost about $2000. I left all the hardwood except for near the homesite. These I removed myself and had the stumps ground up, another $500. So I guess I broke even on the clearing process.
