ROW Clearing
Sterling offers ROW land clearing services for power transmission and distribution, gas pipeline, wind energy, or heavy construction projects. We are experts at clearing your ROW, including removing trees and shrubs to allow for the placement of access roads and construction pads. Land clearing can be dangerous work — our specialized training and equipment are critical to avoiding injury. ROW clearing services include mowing and mulching woody brush/underbrush, and more.
Landowner Concerns
Sterling has a proven track record of successfully working with affected landowners in various conditions such as agricultural, prairie, rural, wetlands, and urban/suburban areas. From protecting sensitive soils to keeping homes and businesses safe during construction, the site access plan we create will minimize the pedestrian and vehicle traffic impact on the property. We take the time to understand and address the concerns of landowners on your ROW — so that both of your interests are protected.
Site Restoration
At the end of the project, Sterling will fully restore affected areas on the right-of-way, leaving a positive impression on landowners and preventing costly fees. Our restoration work — leaving the land as we found it — is at the core of our business and our commitment to protecting your business and the environment.
Site restoration services include: Grading, decompaction, topsoil respread, seeding and fertilizing, stabilization, and fence replacement.
Project Reporting
Once a project is complete, we’ll meet with you to deliver a project overview and budget review. This meeting is a great opportunity for a mutual project review to discuss what worked well for you and where we might have done better or gained new insights. We take this feedback very seriously and use it to improve our operations and build our relationships with clients.
