Clearing trees, brush, stumps, and debris. Access roads built from scratch.
There's a lot of acreage on Vancouver Island that's been sitting untouched for years — overgrown lots, wooded parcels, properties where the trees have taken over the backyard. That's most of what we clear. Brush, stumps, dead fall, scrub alder, and the occasional 60-foot Douglas fir that's gotta come down. We also cut access roads into raw land for new builds.
We walk it with you to mark what comes down and what stays. Sometimes it's everything. Sometimes it's a careful selective clear around specific trees or along a property line. We flag anything sensitive — fences, wells, septic lines, utilities — before any equipment shows up.
Excavator and whatever other equipment the job needs. Trees come down, stumps come out, brush gets hauled or piled. We track where the equipment goes so we're not tearing up ground that doesn't need it.
Once the material is gone, we grade the site clean. Depending on what the next step is — building pad, landscape, road — we leave it ready for whoever's coming in next.
Cutting a road into raw land is its own project. It's not just clearing — it's engineering. Proper slope, proper crown for drainage, proper base material so the road doesn't turn into mud the first time it rains. We've built driveways and access roads into properties where there wasn't even a trail before. When the road is done, you can get a truck and trailer up to the build site without sinking.
