Land Clearing Services in the Fraser Valley
With over 21 years of excavation experience, we understand that clearing a property is about more than removing what is in the way. Access, terrain, drainage, existing structures and what will eventually be built on the land all influence how the site should be approached. We work with homeowners, builders and contractors to clear residential lots, acreages and construction sites efficiently while keeping the next phase of the project in mind.

Clearing the way for what comes next.
Every property starts in a different condition. Some sites require brush and vegetation removal before equipment can access the building area, while others need more extensive clearing, stripping and earthwork before construction can begin.
Depending on the property and project, our land clearing services may include:
- Brush + vegetation clearing
- Lot clearing
- Property clearing
- Site clearing
- Small tree + shrub removal
- Stump removal
- Topsoil stripping
- Debris removal
- Access preparation
- Material removal
- Rough grading
- Excavation
- Building site preparation
- Driveway preparation
Once the site is cleared, we can also complete excavation, grading, drainage and other site preparation required to move the project forward.

When Is Land Clearing Needed?
Land and lot clearing can be the first step in many different property projects.
New home construction + Building sites
Garages + Shops + Additions
Driveways + Property access
Overgrown lots + Acreages
Drainage + Property improvements
Demolition + Redevelopment
Planning the clearing around the future use of the property can reduce unnecessary work and create a smoother transition into excavation and construction.
Why Choose Kerkhoff Excavating + Septic?
21 Years of Experience
More than two decades of excavation experience gives us a practical understanding of how clearing fits into the larger construction and site preparation process.
Experienced Operators
Working around uneven terrain, existing structures and features that need to remain requires control and experience. Our operators approach each property carefully and efficiently.
Professional Equipment
The right equipment makes a significant difference when clearing land. We use professional excavation equipment suited to residential lots, acreages and construction sites.
Rural Property Experience
Acreages and rural properties can involve steep terrain, dense vegetation, difficult access and large work areas. We understand the challenges that come with preparing these sites.
More Than Clearing
When the vegetation is gone, the real site work often begins. We can continue with excavation, drainage, grading, septic work and site preparation rather than leaving the property between stages.
Site-Specific Planning
We consider what the property will become, not simply what needs to be removed. This helps us approach clearing with the future building site, access and grades in mind.
Clear Communication
We discuss the scope of work before clearing begins so there is a clear understanding of what will be removed, what will remain and what comes next.
Land Clearing for New Construction
If you’re preparing an undeveloped property for a new home, shop, garage or other construction, land clearing is often the beginning of a much larger site preparation process.
After clearing the building area, additional work may include topsoil stripping, excavation, cut and fill, building pad preparation, drainage, driveway construction, septic installation and grading. Because we provide these services as well, the property can move naturally from clearing into the next phase of construction.
