Land Clearing & Forestry

Equipment Clearing Land

We specialize in clearing overgrown or wooded areas to make your property safer, cleaner, and easier to use. Our forestry services include fire breaks, right-of-way maintenance, railway and property line clearing, underbrush removal, and tree line trimming up to 30 feet high.

Our Bobcat skid steer with a Fecon saw attachment features a 24-inch carbide blade that reaches 30 feet into the air, perfect for cutting overhanging branches and clearing timber efficiently. We also use Fecon forestry mulching heads with hydraulic coolers for cutting trails through timber and mulching small trees, and Vail heavy brush cutters for tackling overgrown brush, tall weeds, and vegetation around railroads and pipelines.

Whether you need visibility, access, or preparation for new growth, we’ll leave your land ready for its next purpose.

Dirt Work & Grading

Grading

Our dirt work and grading services cover everything from driveways to large site preparations. We handle trenching for drainage, tile, cables, or piping, and ensure proper slope and stability for construction or landscaping.

Using our Case bulldozer for heavy-grade work and our Doosan excavator for larger excavating jobs, we provide smooth, even results that stand the test of time. Whether you’re regrading a driveway, leveling a yard, or preparing a foundation, our team delivers professional-grade results on every project.

Demolition Work

Doosan Excavator

When it’s time to start fresh, we handle safe, efficient demolition of unwanted structures, concrete, and debris. Using modern machinery and careful planning, we take down buildings, sheds, or other materials while maintaining site safety and cleanliness.

Once demolition is complete, we clear and level the area so it’s ready for your next project.

Stump Removal

Tree Stump Removal

We offer fast and thorough stump removal for both residential and commercial properties. Using professional-grade equipment, we grind and remove stumps of all sizes, eliminating tripping hazards and preventing regrowth.

Whether it’s part of a larger land clearing job or a single service, we’ll restore your space to a clean, usable condition.
