Clearing a lake lot is different
Unauthorized clearing of Georgia Power project lands or within 25 feet of the shoreline, whichever is greater, is prohibited, and removing a tree from Georgia Power property requires its permission (Georgia Power).
Mistakes are expensive. Where a dock or boathouse exists, Georgia Power can require its removal at the owner's expense after unauthorized clearing, plus a restoration plan (Georgia Power). On Lake Sinclair, tree removal requires a written permit, and Georgia Power promotes one-for-one replacement (Lake Sinclair guidelines).
We plan clearing that opens up your view and building site while staying inside the rules, so your lot is ready to build and your shoreline privileges stay protected.
Frequently asked questions
Can I clear my lake lot down to the water?
Generally, no. Georgia Power prohibits unauthorized clearing within 25 feet of the shoreline or on its project lands, whichever is greater, and tree removal there requires its permission. We plan clearing that opens up your view while staying within the rules.
Do I need a permit for land clearing?
Removing trees from Georgia Power property requires its permission, and your county may have its own requirements. We help you figure out what applies to your lot before any work starts.
Can you clear my lot before I'm ready to build?
Yes. Sitework and land clearing are services on their own, so we can get your lot ready while you finish planning the home.
Need your lake lot cleared or graded?
