Modena is a small hamlet in the Town of Plattekill, in the southern part of Ulster County between New Paltz and Newburgh. It's agricultural and rural in character, with a mix of old farmsteads, newer residential developments, and undeveloped wooded parcels. The area sees steady demand for land clearing from both residential buyers and agricultural operators.
Ulster Land Clearing Pros serves Modena and the surrounding area with professional, licensed, and insured land clearing services. Every job starts with a free written estimate — no obligation, no pressure.

Modena and the surrounding Plattekill area feature rolling, moderately hilly terrain typical of the mid-Hudson Valley transition zone. Soils are generally workable — loamy to silty-clay depending on location — with occasional rocky outcroppings on higher ground. The area is less dramatically rocky than the Catskill or Shawangunk zones but still requires appropriate equipment for larger clearing jobs.
Land clearing done incorrectly causes soil erosion, drainage failures, and construction delays. A licensed, insured professional who knows your area's terrain, permit requirements, and soil conditions protects your investment. Our team brings the right experience and equipment to every Modena job.

Costs vary by acreage, terrain, and vegetation density. Typical Ulster County projects range from $1,200 for small lots to $18,000+ for heavily wooded multi-acre sites. See our full cost guide →
It depends on proximity to wetlands, disturbance size, and local town rules. Projects over one acre require a SWPPP. We advise on permits during your free estimate. Read the permits guide →
Most 1–2 acre residential lots take 1–2 days. Larger or rockier Catskill terrain properties may take longer. We give a realistic timeline during the free on-site assessment.
