We use the right equipment for selective clearing and take extra care near property boundaries and existing structures.

All cleared materials get hauled away as part of the service – you don’t have to worry about disposal. Trees and large debris are removed from your property completely as part of our standard land clearing process.
Depending on the material, some gets recycled into mulch or firewood, and the rest goes to appropriate disposal facilities.

Poor drainage soil is common in Saratoga County, and we have several proven solutions depending on the severity of the problem. Sometimes we can improve drainage by adjusting the grade and adding drainage tile or French drains to move water away from problem areas.
In cases with very heavy clay or hardpan soil, we might need to remove some existing soil and replace it with better-draining material. We can also create drainage swales or berms that redirect water flow around areas with poor soil conditions. Our approach prevents foundation and basement water problems that cost thousands to fix later.
