Land Clearing

Hugh MacInnis Lumber provides professional land clearing services for residential, commercial, and agricultural projects across Cape Breton. Whether you're preparing a building lot, opening up pasture land, or creating access to a back property, we have the equipment and experience to get the job done safely and efficiently.

Site Preparation

We clear and grade sites for new construction, including house lots, garages, barns, and outbuildings. Our crews remove trees, stumps, and brush, and can rough-grade the site to prepare for foundation work. We work closely with builders and homeowners to ensure the cleared area meets your project requirements without disturbing more land than necessary.

Agricultural & Access Clearing

For farmers and rural landowners, we clear land for pasture, gardens, and agricultural use. We also open up access corridors for driveways, utility lines, and trails. Where possible, we salvage merchantable timber and firewood from the clearing — putting your wood to use rather than letting it go to waste.

Fully Insured

All of our land clearing work is fully insured and carried out in compliance with provincial environmental regulations. We take care to manage erosion, protect watercourses, and minimize impact on surrounding stands. If permits or approvals are required for your project, we can help you navigate the process.
