Land Clearing Contractor
Raw Land Cleared. Site Ready.
Clearing land in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley is not straightforward work. Second-growth timber, massive cedar stumps, buried granite boulders, and unpredictable clay subgrades stop underpowered equipment dead. Ruck Excavating runs heavy iron rated for this terrain, with 20 years of hands-on experience clearing everything from single residential lots to multi-acre subdivision sites.
We manage the full clearing process from first cut through finished grade. Timber, brush, stumps, roots, rock — all of it handled by one crew, one contractor, one call. When we leave your site it is clean, stable, and ready for whatever comes next. No buried debris, no hidden root systems, no surprises under your slab.
We work directly with builders, developers, and general contractors on deadline. If your foundation crew is scheduled, we make sure they have a clean site to walk onto.

Common Questions
FAQ
How much does land clearing cost in BC?
Every site is different. Pricing depends on acreage, timber density, stump count, rock, and access. We quote after a site review so you get an accurate number, not a guess. Call us and we will get you a quote within 24 hours.
Do you handle stumps and roots or just surface clearing?
Full extraction. We pull stumps and grub the root systems out completely. No buried organics left behind to rot under your slab or settle under your driveway.
Can you clear land with rock or boulders?
Yes. We run hydraulic rock breakers on our excavators and can break, move, and dispose of boulders on the same job. No need to bring in a second contractor.
Are you BC One Call certified?
Yes, on every single dig. No exceptions. We locate all utilities before any ground is broken.
How long does a typical lot clearing take?
Most residential lots in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley are done in under a week. Larger acreage and heavier timber takes longer. We will give you a realistic timeline when we quote.
