What Is Right-of-Way & Pipeline Clearing?
Right-of-way (ROW) and pipeline clearing involves removing trees, brush, and invasive vegetation along designated corridors that house or provide access to critical infrastructure such as:
-
Pipelines
-
Utility lines
-
Access roads and easements
-
Drainage and transmission corridors
Proper vegetation management reduces safety risks, improves inspection access, and helps meet maintenance and compliance requirements.

Why Forestry Mulching Is Ideal for ROW Clearing
Forestry mulching is one of the most effective methods for right-of-way and pipeline clearing.
Benefits include:
-
Minimal soil disturbance
-
No hauling or burning debris
-
Reduced erosion and runoff
-
Faster project completion
-
Cleaner, more maintainable corridors
Mulched material is left on-site, creating a protective ground layer that helps suppress regrowth.
