Clearing Services Explained

  • Why is clearing important in construction?

    Professional clearing removes obstacles that could interfere with construction, such as organic materials that decompose over time, vegetation or existing structures. Properly clearing the worksite helps us create a clean slate for grading, leveling and building future foundations.

  • What equipment is used for clearing?

    We use specialized equipment including bulldozers and excavators for removing vegetation and debris, graders and compactors for leveling the site and chainsaws and wood chippers for tree removal.

  • How long does a clearing project take?

    The timeline depends on several factors: the size and condition of the site, the type of vegetation and debris present and prevailing weather conditions. While small projects may take a day or two, larger or more complex sites can take several weeks to complete.

  • Are permits required for site clearing?

    Yes, most jurisdictions require permits to comply with environmental and zoning laws. These permits often address tree removal, erosion control and proper waste disposal.
