Our Services

Complete Solar Farm Site Preparation

We handle every aspect of solar farm site preparation, from initial clearing to final grading and erosion control.

🌳

Vegetation Clearing

Complete removal of trees, brush, and vegetation across the project site. We use forestry mulching to minimize soil disturbance.

⚙️

Stump Removal

Grinding or removal of stumps below grade to prevent interference with panel foundations and mounting systems.

📐

Site Grading

Precision grading to achieve optimal slope for panel orientation, drainage, and mounting system requirements.

🛣️

Access Roads

FAQs

Solar Farm Clearing Questions

Solar farm clearing involves preparing land for utility-scale solar installations. This includes vegetation removal, stump grinding, grading to appropriate slope specifications, and erosion control measures. The goal is to create a stable, level surface suitable for solar panel mounting systems while minimizing soil disturbance.

Solar farm clearing costs in Texas typically range from $2,000 to $5,000 per acre depending on vegetation density, terrain, and grading requirements. Large utility-scale projects often receive volume pricing. We provide detailed quotes based on project specifications and site surveys.

Solar farm sites require specific grading for panel orientation and drainage, minimal soil compaction to prevent settling, erosion control measures, access road construction, and often perimeter fencing installation. We work closely with solar developers to meet exact specifications.

Yes, we have extensive experience with large-scale solar farm site preparation throughout Texas. We understand the specific requirements of solar developers, EPC contractors, and utility companies. Our equipment and crews are scaled for projects ranging from community solar to utility-scale installations.

Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A 50-100 acre solar farm typically requires 2-4 weeks for complete site preparation. Larger utility-scale projects of 500+ acres may take 2-3 months. We can scale our equipment and crews to meet project deadlines.

We serve solar farm projects throughout Texas, with a focus on West Texas, the Permian Basin, and the ERCOT grid region. We've completed projects from the Panhandle to South Texas. Our crews are mobile and can deploy to any Texas location.

We work within project environmental requirements and can implement specified erosion control, sediment management, and habitat protection measures. We coordinate with project environmental consultants to ensure compliance with permits and regulations.

Yes, access road construction is part of our solar farm site preparation services. We clear and grade primary access roads, internal service roads, and crane paths. Our roads meet the specifications required for solar panel delivery trucks and maintenance vehicles.
