Utility corridors, roads, and easements kept clear and compliant
What Is Right-of-Way Clearing?
Right-of-way (ROW) clearing maintains clear corridors for power transmission lines, gas and oil pipelines, railroads, fiber optic lines, and public roads.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is responsible for ROW maintenance on utility easements?
- The utility company or pipeline operator typically owns the maintenance obligation. However, landowners can also hire contractors to keep easement corridors clear as a proactive measure.
- Can ROW clearing be done without herbicides?
- Yes. Mechanical clearing alone is effective but requires more frequent re-clearing (every 1–3 years). Herbicide-treated stumps dramatically slow regrowth.
- How wide are typical utility ROWs?
- Transmission line ROWs are typically 100–200 feet wide. Distribution lines are 20–50 feet. Pipeline ROWs range from 25–100 feet depending on pipe diameter and class.
