Brush & Blackberry Clearing

Brush and blackberry growth can limit access and hide usable space on your property. We remove the overgrowth and restore control of your land while keeping the area clean and manageable, leaving a more functional space ready for the next phase.

We specialize in rural properties, acreage and larger clearing projects. For small residential landscaping jobs, a landscaping company is usually a better fit.

Selective Clearing & Trails

Clear problem vegetation while preserving the trees and plants you want to keep. We remove unwanted growth, thin overcrowded areas and take out hazardous or dead trees without damaging what's around them.

Selective clearing improves your property's appearance, opens up views, reduces wildfire risk and creates healthier growing conditions. We can also cut and build trails so you can actually get around your land.

Frequently asked questions

Good Questions. Straight Answers.

Do you work in residential neighborhoods?

We specialize in rural property clearing and larger land projects rather than residential landscaping or neighborhood yard work. Our equipment is built for acreage, overgrown land and properties that need substantial clearing. For smaller residential landscaping needs, a landscaping company is usually a better fit.

What size properties do you work on?

We focus on rural properties, acreage and larger clearing projects where heavy equipment and land clearing experience are needed, like overgrown land, building sites and acreage that needs professional clearing rather than routine yard maintenance.

What's the difference between brush and land clearing?

Brush clearing removes undergrowth, blackberries and smaller vegetation while usually leaving larger trees in place. Land clearing is more complete and removes trees, stumps and all vegetation to create fully cleared ground. Many projects combine both, depending on your goals.

Do you remove stumps as part of clearing?

When needed. For complete lot clearing, we typically remove stumps to create usable, level ground. For brush clearing or selective work, stump removal is optional and depends on your plans. We'll talk it through during the estimate and include it in your quote if you want it.

What do you do with the debris?

Debris removal is part of the job. Depending on the material and your preferences, it can be hauled off-site, chipped or burned where conditions and regulations allow. We'll go over the options during planning and handle it as part of the project.

Do you work in and around NW Portland?

Yes. We clear brush, blackberries and land throughout NW Portland and nearby communities like Sauvie Island, Scappoose, Hillsboro and North Plains. Not sure if you’re in our area? Give us a call or text.
