The short answer
Before mobilization, confirm authorization and boundaries, provide maps and contacts, measure access, identify utilities and fragile features, disclose known debris and hazards, define vegetation and finish, coordinate occupants and traffic, clarify cleanup and documentation, and review stop-work procedures.
Confirm authority and boundaries
Provide current maps, easements, no-work zones and the person authorized to approve changes. Do not assume an adjacent parcel or right-of-way is included.
Document the access route
Measure gates, turns, bridges, slopes and unloading areas. Identify weight limits, soft ground, septic areas and overhead restrictions.
Mark utilities and protected features
Use the applicable locating process and facility maps. Point out irrigation, drains, cabinets, monuments, instrumentation and fragile surfaces.
Disclose vegetation and hidden hazards
Share recent photos plus known wire, rocks, waste, stumps, holes, water and unstable areas. Dense brush may require staged inspection.
Coordinate people and operations
Plan resident notice, traffic, deliveries, production, school activity or public separation as appropriate. Define who can stop or modify work.
Agree on acceptance criteria
Specify treatment limits, height or rough-cut finish, trimming, debris, exclusions, photos and recurrence. Submit details through the ClearSlope site-evaluation form.
Frequently asked questions
Should the owner clear all debris first?
Remove or disclose what can be handled safely and agree on contingencies for hidden material.
Who locates utilities?
The owner and applicable locate process must provide reliable information.
Are aerial maps enough?
They help, but ground-level access, terrain and hazard photos are also important.
Can the scope change after cutting begins?
Only through an agreed change process when hidden conditions or new requirements appear.
