Clear, stabilize, and prepare your property for what’s next — safely and efficiently.
Axe Contracting provides precision land clearing and site preparation services for homeowners, developers, and builders across Bend and Central Oregon. Led by an ISA Certified Arborist (TRAQ) and Oregon-licensed landscape contractor (LCB #100169), we combine forestry know-how with construction-grade equipment to make sure your project starts on solid ground.
From small acreage lots to larger commercial parcels, our methods prioritize safety, erosion control, and long-term site stability.
Bend’s volcanic soil, steep grades, and dense juniper stands require more than heavy equipment — they need informed, low-impact land management. Professional clearing:
Removes fire-prone vegetation and flammable debris.
Prepares building pads, driveways, and utilities.
Reduces erosion through proper grading and soil stabilization.
Improves drainage and access for construction crews.
Our crew understands Deschutes County development requirements and local wildfire mitigation standards, ensuring your property is both build-ready and compliant.
Safe removal of overgrown vegetation and hazard trees clear accessible space for development
Leveling, contour shaping, and soil stabilization provides a foundation for construction and erosion control
Slash chipped on-site or responsibly removed reduces waste and supports soil moisture retention
Straw wattles, silt fencing, and re-seeding prevents runoff and soil loss post-clearing
Temporary or permanent access creation simplifies delivery and equipment movement
