You get a building site that’s actually ready for construction. Your foundation contractor shows up and starts work immediately instead of dealing with drainage issues, compacted soil, or leftover debris that should have been handled properly.
The difference shows up months later when your foundation stays level and water drains where it’s supposed to. You’re not calling us back to fix problems that cheaper clearing jobs create, because we handle slope management, soil preparation, and infrastructure protection from day one.
Most importantly, you know exactly what you’re paying upfront—no change orders, no surprise costs, just the fixed price we agreed on after walking your property.

First, we walk your property together and discuss your building plans. We identify any trees you want to preserve, check for utilities, and assess soil conditions and drainage needs.

In Northumberland, we deal with everything from rocky terrain to areas near wetlands. Properties with heavy tree coverage or steep slopes require additional equipment time, but we factor all of that into your upfront quote. No surprises, no change orders.
We can also preserve valuable trees and landscaping features during clearing. We mark trees you want to keep before starting work and use smaller equipment around these areas to prevent root damage. However, trees too close to construction areas may need removal for safety and access—we’ll discuss these situations during the site walk.

Land clearing removes vegetation, trees, and surface debris from your property. Site preparation goes further—it includes grading, soil preparation, drainage work, and creating level building pads. Most construction projects need both services to be building-ready.
