Right-of-way, subdivision, and development clearing — full grub-and-strip to mineral soil, or selective clearing to your drawings. Your spec, your timeline, your call.
Every clearing job starts with a walkthrough. We look at what's coming down, what's staying, where the access is, and where the material goes. Some jobs are full grub-and-strip — take everything down to mineral soil. Others are selective, working around mature timber, creek setbacks, or features the owner wants to keep.
We handle the full scope: tree falling, stump removal, root grubbing, slash management, and site cleanup. Slash gets piled for burning or loaded out depending on the site and the regulations. Stumps come out with the CAT 305 using the hydraulic thumb — we sort, pile, and stage material so the site is ready for the next phase.
The CAT 289D High-Flotation Track Loader handles brush mulching, material spreading, and site cleanup. Low ground pressure means we can work soft ground without tearing it up — useful in spring or on wet sites where a heavier machine would make a mess.
We leave the site the way the next trade needs it. If it's a building pad, we clear to grade. If it's a right-of-way, we clear to the corridor width and stage material for pickup. If it's a subdivision, we clear to the lot lines and protect what's on the other side of the tape.
Clear the footprint for commercial buildings, shops, and institutional facilities. We take it down to grade and hand the GC a clean pad.
Utility corridors, pipeline ROW, and road alignments cleared to spec — merchantable timber decked, slash processed, corridor left ready for construction.
Lot-by-lot clearing for rural subdivisions. We work to lot lines and protect retained timber and setback zones.
Clearing the buffer zone between structures and forest. Reduces fire risk and creates defensible space for property protection.
Cut a path for a new access road, utility corridor, or resource road. We clear the right-of-way and stage material off-site.
We clear land across the Cariboo for commercial, civil, and resource-sector projects — 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Lac la Hache, and Kamloops. Province-wide mobilization for contract and development work.
Depends on jurisdiction. Inside a municipality, development permits usually apply; in regional districts it depends on zoning and ALR status, and watercourses trigger environmental setbacks. We work within your permits and can help identify which approvals a scope needs.
Moderate timber and brush typically runs 2–6 days per hectare depending on terrain, stem size, and disposal method. We confirm production rates after a site walk so your schedule holds.
Merchantable timber is decked for the owner or licensee. Slash is piled for burning, mulched, or hauled to approved disposal depending on site regulations and your environmental requirements.
Yes — frozen ground carries equipment without rutting and reduces soil disturbance. Winter programs work well for wet sites and environmentally sensitive ground.
Clearing removes vegetation above ground; grubbing removes stumps and roots below grade. Most construction scopes need both — clearing for the corridor, grubbing under structures and roads.
