Our Commercial Land Clearing & Site Prep Service
Land clearing isn't just dropping trees — it's the foundation for everything that comes next on a build site. Done wrong, it costs contractors weeks of delays, change orders, and unhappy clients. Done right, it sets the project up to move forward on schedule. North Woods provides full tree felling and removal, brush and underbrush clearing, stump removal, grading and rough site prep, debris hauling and disposal, and on-site chipping for projects from a single residential lot to multi-acre subdivision parcels. We work with general contractors, residential developers, commercial property owners, and rural landowners — and we deliver the certificates of insurance GCs and project managers need, usually same-day. 35+ years of experience means we know how to set up the work to move fast without cutting safety or quality.
Common Land Clearing Projects
Every commercial land clearing project is different, but most fall into a few categories. Here's what we handle most often:
-
Residential or commercial lots being cleared for new construction. Full tree removal, stump grinding, brush clearing, and debris hauling — site ready for excavation and framing.
-
Multi-lot residential development clearing. Built for scale, schedule reliability, and the kind of full-debris removal that lets the next trades on-site work clean.
-
Commercial and industrial parcel clearing for new buildings, parking lot expansions, equipment yards, or commercial site redevelopment.
-
Multi-acre rural land clearing for new homesites, agricultural use, fire safety, or development — including the steep terrain and dense timber common across Clackamas County.
