Land Clearing Services

Create a clear line-of-sight to project success.

Stage One of Successful Projects

Land clearing is in Wagner’s DNA. From the dense forests of northern Minnesota to open prairie, our crews remove trees, brush, and obstacles with precision, hauling and mulching as needed.

Every cut and haul is done with the full project in mind, setting the stage for earthwork, utilities, and the final build.

One-Stop Clearing & Removal

Wagner is equipped to tackle every phase of clearing for complex, large-scale projects in even the most remote environments. From cutting and grubbing to hauling, mulching, and off-site disposal, our crews mobilize quickly and deliver a fully prepared site.

Every job is executed efficiently, safely, and on schedule to prepare for earthwork, utilities, and all subsequent phases of construction.

ROW Clearing the Right Way

Compliant, Not by Chance

We don’t gamble with red tape. Our team clears with precision, following DOT, EPA, and local requirements so your project stays approved and on track.

Fast, Never Reckless

Schedules drive everything we do. By phasing work and leveraging in-house resources, we can clear land quickly without cutting corners on safety or quality.

Scalable, but Realistic

From single parcels to multi-mile ROWs, our fleet and team are ready to match the scale of your project, all while maintaining realistic expectations.

Featured Wagner Projects

Flood Hazard Mitigation Project

The scope of the project was to construct a reinforced concrete floodwall and reroute underground utilities around the existing water treatment plant to protect the plant from flood conditions.

Mouse River PH MI-2 & MI-3

The scope of this project included construction of floodwalls and pump stations, installation of raw water intake and utility systems, erosion control measures, and full golf course restoration to enhance flood protection along the Mouse River.

MREFPP PH MI-5A 4th Avenue NE Levee Extension

The scope of the project included extending the 4th Avenue NE levee to improve flood protection in the City of Minot. Work consisted of large-scale excavation, levee backfill, structural fill placement, utility installation, riprap, and stormwater improvements while maintaining public access and protecting nearby waterways.

Highland Pellets Capacity Upgrades

The project involved plant demolition and large-scale process improvements, including four new dryer lines, two environmental islands, and new hammer mill systems to support increased production and consistent material flow.

What land clearing services does Wagner self-perform?

Wagner self-performs cutting, grubbing, mulching, and other primary land clearing tasks. Our crews and equipment handle every phase to prepare the site for earthwork and utilities.

Does Wagner manage all debris removal and off-site disposal?

Yes. Wagner is equipped with in-house fleets to handle hauling, mulching, and proper off-site disposal of cleared material, no subcontractor required.

Is Wagner equipped to clear land in remote and difficult-to-access site locations?

Absolutely. Remote environments are where Wagner thrives. Whether that’s big timber country of northern Minnesota or a remote area of the Southwest, our crews mobilize quickly to get land cleared on time for subsequent project phases.

Does Wagner clear sites for multi-phase projects in stages?

Yes. We can execute phased clearing that aligns with your project milestones, supporting complex schedules without delaying subsequent construction activities.
