Services for Construction Companies
Building in Utah’s forests and wildland-urban interface comes with strict fire safety and land management challenges. Alpine Forestry helps construction companies meet compliance, clear land efficiently, and keep projects on schedule.
Site Preparation & Lot Clearing
Lot Clearing & Site Preparation — Full-scale clearing and hazard removal for new builds and developments. We prepare sites, access roads, and perimeters safely, efficiently, and in compliance with local wildfire and environmental standards.
Fuels Reduction & Brush Removal — Thinning and removing dense vegetation, ladder fuels, and undergrowth to reduce fire hazards before, during, and after construction.
Vegetation Management — Follow-up control of regrowth to maintain cleared zones and code-compliant defensible space. Treatments are scheduled as needed to keep properties wildfire-ready as vegetation returns.
Hazard Tree Removal — Safe removal of unstable or obstructive trees threatening structures, equipment, or power lines.
Tracked Chipping & Equipment Operations — Professional machinery and operators for steep or hard-to-access sites, ensuring clean, efficient processing of cleared material.
Storm Damage Cleanup — Rapid response for clearing fallen trees and debris that impact construction timelines.
Wildfire Safety & Compliance
Defensible Space Creation — Establishing safe, code-compliant clearance around new buildings and infrastructure to meet wildfire prevention standards.
Wildfire Risk Assessments — On-site evaluations led by an NFPA Certified Specialist to identify hazards and provide recommendations for construction-phase and post-build safety.
Wildfire Mitigation Planning — Comprehensive fire mitigation plans tailored for development sites to meet state, county, and insurance requirements.
Pile Burning — Controlled burning of accumulated slash and debris for cost-efficient disposal and long-term fuel reduction. Reseeding also available.
Home Hardening Guidance for Developers — Recommendations on fire-resistant materials, defensible landscaping, and property layout to improve safety and compliance.
Environmental & Land Management
Erosion & Slope Stabilization — Preventing runoff and soil loss after site clearing or grading, using proven land management techniques.
Forest Health & Restoration — Ongoing management to maintain ecological balance on large parcels or adjoining forested areas.
Green Waste & Material Hauling — Hauling, chipping, and responsible disposal of vegetation, slash, and debris generated during construction.
Wood Chips & Timber — Option to keep byproducts from clearing operations (timber rounds, wood chips) if desired instead of hauling.
Mapping, Documentation & Reporting
GIS Mapping & Terrain Analysis — Detailed hazard and site maps for planning, compliance, and insurance documentation.
Aerial Drone Surveys — High-resolution imagery to document progress, confirm compliance, and visualize treatment areas.
Project Documentation & Reporting — Before-and-after documentation packages for municipal review, insurance, or grant compliance.
Common Concerns
Hazard trees on project sites, jeopardizing new construction.
Vegetation clearance required before new builds.
Heavy debris piles and slash disposal.
Permitting and compliance concerns.
Liability for fire hazards left unmanaged.
