Land Clearing and Site Preparation Services
Complete Vegetation Removal, Demolition & Site Grubbing
Land Clearing for Phoenix & Maricopa County Properties
Desert lots in the Phoenix metro usually need a lot of prep before anything can be built. Mesquite trees, palo verde, concrete slabs, and old debris all have to come out before a foundation goes in. SewerTime uses tracked excavators, skid steers with grapple buckets, and roll-off hauling to clear residential lots and small commercial properties — getting your site ready for the next phase of construction.
Desert Vegetation Removal & Concrete Demolition
Arizona's desert vegetation has deep, extensive root systems that can't just be graded over. Mesquite and palo verde roots spread wide and go deep — leaving them in place under a pad or drain field causes settling and drainage problems down the road. Our operators strip vegetation to bare mineral soil and grub out root systems using hydraulic thumb attachments and ripper shanks.
For demolition work, we break and remove concrete driveways, sidewalks, old foundation slabs, retaining walls, and asphalt pads. Material is loaded into roll-off containers or end dumps for disposal at licensed Maricopa County facilities. We also handle underground vault and tank decommissioning, including pumping, crushing in place, and backfilling per ADEQ requirements.
Defensible space clearing for wildfire mitigation is another core capability. Properties in Cave Creek, Carefree, Rio Verde, and the surrounding foothills face extreme wildfire risk. We clear brush, dead vegetation, and combustible debris within mandated clearance zones around structures.
Residential Lot Clearing
Single-family lot clearing in Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Anthem, and North Phoenix. Full vegetation stripping, stump grubbing, debris removal, and rough grade preparation for new construction.
Small Commercial Lot Clearing
Clearing for small commercial pads, retail lots, and mixed-use properties. We handle vegetation removal, debris hauling, and rough grade prep to get the site ready for permits and construction.
Concrete & Asphalt Demolition
Hydraulic breaker and pulverizer demolition of existing slabs, footings, driveways, and hardscape. Material loaded and hauled to licensed Maricopa County disposal facilities.
Complete Site Preparation & Debris Disposal
Land clearing is only half the battle. Once vegetation and demolition debris are removed, the site must be prepped for the next phase of construction. SewerTime provides turnkey clearing-to-grade services, stripping topsoil where required, establishing rough pad elevations, and ensuring proper drainage slope away from future building footprints.
All cleared material is separated, loaded, and transported using our own fleet of end-dump trucks and roll-off containers. Green waste, concrete rubble, and mixed construction debris are routed to appropriate licensed facilities across Maricopa County. We handle the full chain of custody so your project stays compliant with county disposal regulations.
