Site Clearing

What This Service Involves

Site clearing prepares ground for construction by removing vegetation, stumps, and surface obstructions that stand in the way. We evaluate the lot, mark trees and features you want to keep, and clear the rest while respecting any critical-area or tree-retention rules common in Western Washington jurisdictions. Grubbing out roots and stumps gives following crews clean, workable soil for excavation and grading. Cleared organic material is chipped, hauled, or recycled rather than simply dumped. The finished lot is open, accessible, and ready for staking and groundwork.
