Lot Clearing for New Construction Across the Portland Metro
Residential and commercial lot clearing for general contractors, residential developers, and commercial builders across Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. Built to mobilize on schedule, deliver certificate-of-insurance documentation same-day, and clear the site so framing and foundation work can begin without delay. Family-owned since 1986, licensed (CCB #209975), bonded, and insured.
Our Lot Clearing Service
Lot clearing is the first major step in any new construction project β and getting it right means the rest of the build stays on schedule. North Woods handles complete tree removal from build sites, stump grinding to below grade so foundations and excavation can move forward, brush and underbrush clearing, debris hauling and disposal, on-site chipping when it makes sense, and rough grading if needed. We work with single-lot custom home builds, infill development lots, small multi-lot residential projects, and commercial parcel clearing. Every lot clearing job comes with certificate-of-insurance documentation delivered to the GC or project manager β usually same-day β and schedule reliability that lets your other trades plan their work with confidence.
Common Lot Clearing Projects
Every new construction project is different β here's the range of lot clearing work we handle most often for contractors and developers:
-
Individual residential lots ready for new construction. Tree removal, stump grinding, debris hauling β site prepped and ready for excavation, foundation, and framing.
-
Cleared lots in established neighborhoods where new homes are being built β usually tight-access urban or suburban lots requiring careful work near neighboring properties.
-
Smaller residential developments (2-5 lots) being cleared as a coordinated project. Phased scheduling to match the GC's build sequence.
-
Smaller commercial lots being cleared for new buildings, parking lot expansions, or commercial site redevelopment. Full debris removal, certificate-ready documentation.
