Overgrown lot, fence line swallowed by scrub, a building site that needs to be down to workable ground — clearing is machine work, and doing it with the right machine is the difference between an afternoon and a wrecked lawn. We clear brush and small trees, dig and remove stumps, strip topsoil where a build is coming, and leave you rough-graded, workable ground.
Typical calls: clearing a rural lot ahead of a shop or addition, opening up fence lines and property edges, taking out rows of overgrown cedars, pulling stumps after a tree company has dropped the trunks, and prepping ground for new driveways and pads. On treed lots we're clear about what needs a permit — Guelph and Wellington County both have tree bylaws for larger trunks — and work within them.
For brush and small trees, generally no. Guelph's tree bylaw and Wellington County's forest conservation bylaw kick in for larger trunk diameters and woodlots — we'll flag anything on your job that needs a permit before touching it.
Yes — haul-away is quoted as part of the job. On rural properties many owners prefer a burn pile or a consolidated brush row instead, which costs less.
We backfill with the excavated material, compact, and top with soil so you're not left with sinkholes. If you're seeding after, we can leave the area fine-graded.
That's the ideal way to do it — clear, strip, rough-grade and place granular in one mobilization. One machine visit instead of three saves real money.
