Line 01 · Land & Site
Clear the land. Move the dirt.
Clearing, excavation, ponds and pads — from the gate to finished grade.
Photos of the ground and the access are all we need to start.
Applications, machines and shots
Each application, the machine classes it calls for, and the frame that documents it.
Machine classes this work calls for. Capability, not an ownership claim.

Land & site questions
Can you clear around trees we want to keep?
Yes. Mark them and we work around them, or leave a buffer along a creek or property line.
Can you burn or chip the debris?
Usually. Burning depends on local burn rules and weather. Chipping or hauling off site is the alternative.
Does the job need a permit or a survey?
Some clearing, ponds and driveways do. We ask what you already have before we schedule.
How is the price set?
From your photos and the scope. A person reviews it and approves the price, not a machine.
Is a photo estimate a site inspection?
No. It is a remote estimate. Ground conditions confirmed on site can change the scope and the price.
