Right-of-Way Clearing for Utility Companies
Power line corridor clearing, pipeline ROW maintenance, and vegetation management for utility companies across Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.
Right-of-way vegetation management is never-ending work for utility companies. Trees grow into power lines, brush encroaches on pipeline corridors, and access roads that were clear two years ago are not anymore. We provide forestry mulching and land clearing services for utility ROW maintenance across our tri-state service area.
Our equipment handles the terrain that ROW corridors run through in this part of the country. Steep hillsides, creek crossings, rocky ground, and thick undergrowth are all standard operating conditions for us. We can clear multi-mile corridors efficiently while working around existing infrastructure like poles, guy wires, and valve stations.
We work with utility companies, their ROW management contractors, and landowners who have been notified of upcoming ROW clearing on their property. If you need reliable clearing services on a per-project or recurring basis, we are set up to handle it.

Why Property Managers Choose EarthWorx
Multi-mile corridor clearing
We clear long-distance power line and pipeline corridors efficiently. Our equipment moves through rough terrain without needing improved roads, which keeps the job moving and costs down.
Selective clearing around infrastructure
We work carefully around poles, towers, guy wires, transformers, valve stations, and other infrastructure. The operator clears vegetation up to and around these objects without contact.
Vegetation compliance management
We understand the vegetation clearance requirements for power line and pipeline corridors. We clear to the specifications your compliance program requires and can document the work with before-and-after photos and GPS records.
Rough terrain capability
ROW corridors go through terrain that standard clearing equipment cannot handle. Steep hillsides, stream crossings, and rocky ground are daily work for us in the Kentucky and Indiana hill country.
Recurring maintenance programs
Vegetation management is not a one-time job. We work with utility companies on recurring clearing schedules to maintain compliance and prevent outage-causing tree contact.
Three-state insurance coverage
We carry full liability insurance in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. One contractor for ROW work across the tri-state area without worrying about coverage gaps at state lines.

Common Questions

We clear power line corridors (transmission and distribution), natural gas pipeline rights-of-way, telecom and fiber optic routes, and water/sewer easements. The equipment and process are similar for all types, with adjustments for the specific infrastructure we are working around.
Yes. We have the equipment and scheduling capacity for multi-mile corridor clearing jobs. For larger projects, we provide a phased clearing plan with weekly progress updates.
We do. If you are a vegetation management company that subcontracts clearing work, we can operate under your scope of work and safety requirements. We are familiar with the documentation and reporting that utility clients require.
We are professional and respectful on private property. We stay within the defined ROW boundaries, clean up our access points, and communicate directly with landowners when needed. We know that good landowner relations are important for future access.
Pricing depends on corridor width, vegetation density, and terrain. Typical ROW clearing runs $2,000 to $5,000 per mile for light vegetation and $5,000 to $15,000 per mile for heavy timber and brush. We provide detailed per-mile estimates after site review.
