Land Clearing Services in Oregon City, OR
Have you stood on a patch of your Oregon City property, looking at a tangle of blackberry bushes, scrubby undergrowth, and crowded, unwanted trees, and imagined something more? A sunny spot for a vegetable garden, a level area for a new shed, or the pristine beginning of your future dream home? Turning that vision into reality starts with land clearing.
This is hard, messy work that goes far beyond simple tree removal. It requires power, strategy, and a deep respect for the land. At Oregon City Tree Services, we have the equipment and the expertise to tackle these projects, transforming overgrown lots into clean, usable space, ready for your next chapter.
More Than Just Bulldozers: A Thoughtful Process
We don’t believe in just razing everything in sight. A successful land clearing project is methodical and considers the final goal.
The Walk-Through: We start by walking the land with you. We’ll identify which trees you want to save—perhaps that beautiful madrone or a cluster of firs for windbreak. We’ll locate wetlands, slopes, and other sensitivities on your property.
Selective Clearing: We practice selective land clearing, which means we remove the undesirable vegetation while protecting the trees and soil you want to keep. This preserves the character of the land and is often more environmentally sound.
The Power of Mulching: For dense brush and small trees, we often use a powerful brush masticator (also called a forestry mower). This machine grinds up virtually everything in its path, turning a thicket of blackberries and alders into a deep, nutrient-rich layer of wood chips right on the ground. The smell of freshly chipped alder is the smell of progress.
Stump Removal: For a building site, all stumps must be removed. We use our heavy-duty stump grinders and excavators to dig out root systems, ensuring the ground is truly clear for grading and construction.
From Overgrown to Opportunity
The result of a professional land clearing job is more than just an empty space. It’s a foundation. The cleared ground, free of stumps and roots, is ready for sod installation, grading, or construction. The sunlight, previously blocked by a thick canopy, can now reach the ground, allowing you to plant a new lawn or landscape.
We’ve helped homeowners across Oregon City unlock the potential of their property, from clearing a small hillside for a backyard orchard to preparing multi-acre lots for new homes. We handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on the exciting part: designing your new space.
