Row Maintenance and Land Clearing Services

ROW MAINTENANCE AND LAND CLEARING SERVICES

Right of way clearing maintenance cycle

For our clients, maintaining a brush-free Right of Way is a critical part of our jobs. And by brush free, we mean ROW that has a clear view from ground to sky.

Think about overhead power lines and underground pipelines. Our pipeline customers rely on Good Ground to ensure there are no trees above their pipeline and that there is a clear view to the sky for routine aerial patrols. Our utility clients rely and heavily depend on us to keep the Right of Way clear to ensure reliable service to their customers, help control service costs, and promote safety both on the property and for those working on it.

WHY IS LAND CLEARING AND ROW MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?

• Tree roots can damage the coating on the pipeline.

• Heavy Side Tree Canopy can prohibit the pilot from seeing the ROW during routine patrols.

• A clear ROW easement and properly placed line markers allows for better patrols and helps to notify the public of the utility being present.

• A clear ROW allows for easy emergency access and makes other routine maintenance on the pipeline safer and easier.

Try to imagine emergency crews who need to get to an area that is masked with brush so thick they need heavy equipment to make their way through. With Right of Way in this type of condition, crews can’t do their jobs timely, effectively or safely. Crews can’t adequately locate or even access the issue at hand, making necessary repairs more than challenging. Not to mention, this is where the added cost comes into play. The longer it takes crews to do the job, the more money it ends up costing at the end. Outside of the emergency need for land clearing, our services are needed to ensure the ROW is removed of trees whose roots can damage the pipeline coating and canopy trimming to allow for aerial patrols.

By clearing everything from pipelines and railroads to electric utilities and roadways we have helped our customers build a successful ROW Clearing program that focuses on long term results, flat-line budgeting and a perfectly maintained Right of Way.
Our maintenance cycle is often a multi-pronged approach utilizing a combination of canopy trimming, forestry mulching, mowing, and herbicide applications. From marsh master mowing for wetlands, remote control slope equipment for extreme slopes, arborist aerial lifts for the hard to reach locations to Jarraff canopy trimmers – we use only the best equipment to get the job done correctly and safely. This dedication to excellence and a willingness to challenge our own procedures has placed us as a nationwide contractor. That’s what we do. That’s GOOD GROUND!!
