I've purchased some acreage to build a house on, and where the house is
going to be built it is mostly woods. The trees are mostly maple, birch
and oak. Probably 30-40 trees will need to come down, most of them are
1-2' wide, a few larger.

Do these trees have any value? I'm not interested in "making money" off of
these tree per se, but anything to help offset the cost to have them
removed would obviously be helpful to me. Anyone have any idea how much I
can expect to pay to have these trees removed? Should I have the stumps
dozed out or ground down?


See your county extension agent. They even provide woodlot evaluation
gratis here. They also know all the local jobbers and sawyers.

They'll need to uproot the things for foundations. Might as well thin the
yard too.
