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. It requires removing and controlling all woody vegetation that could interfere with infrastructure, and implementing a long-term vegetation management program to minimize regrowth.

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.
