Solar Site Prep & Land Clearing
Clear land fast so your solar installation stays on schedule.
The Challenge Solar Developers Face
Ground-mount solar installations require cleared, level sites with proper access. Delays in site preparation can push back interconnection dates, trigger permit expirations, and cost thousands in lost incentives.
Without Proper Site Prep
- Overgrown fields delay racking installation
- Brush and saplings interfere with post driving
- No access roads for equipment and panel delivery
- Missed interconnection deadlines = lost revenue
- Traditional clearing creates debris piles to haul
With Brushworks
- Clear multi-acre sites in days, not weeks
- Mulch left behind stabilizes soil and prevents erosion
- Access roads and staging areas cleared to spec
- Work around your surveying and engineering schedule
- No debris hauling = lower costs and faster timelines
How It Works
Simple process for solar developers and EPCs
Share Site Plans
Send us your site layout, acreage, and timeline requirements. We'll review satellite imagery and provide a clearing estimate within 24 hours.
We Clear the Site
Our mulchers clear vegetation, brush, and small trees. We establish access roads and staging areas. Everything is ground into mulch on-site.
Installation Ready
Your site is cleared and ready for racking installation, surveying, or grading. No debris piles, no hauling delays, no surprises.

Questions Solar Developers Ask
Quick answers for solar contractors and EPCs
How quickly can you clear a solar farm site?
Most 5-10 acre solar sites can be cleared in 2-5 days depending on vegetation density. Larger utility-scale projects are quoted per phase. We work with your interconnection timeline to ensure clearing doesn't delay your project.
What size trees can you mulch for solar sites?
Our forestry mulchers handle trees up to 8 inches in diameter. For sites with larger timber, we coordinate with logging crews first, then handle the brush, stumps, and remaining vegetation.
Do you work with solar EPCs and developers?
Yes. We regularly partner with solar EPCs, developers, and installers throughout Ohio and Kentucky. We understand interconnection deadlines, can work around surveying schedules, and provide the documentation you need for site compliance.
Can you create access roads for solar equipment?
Absolutely. We clear and establish access roads wide enough for panel delivery trucks and installation equipment. We can also clear equipment staging areas and turnaround zones.
What about ongoing vegetation management after installation?
We offer maintenance contracts for ongoing vegetation management around installed arrays. Many solar operators schedule annual or bi-annual clearing to prevent shading issues and maintain equipment access.
