What Right-of-Way Clearing Can Do for You
Right-of-way clearing reopens a route through your property once it has grown over, like an old road, a trail, or a path to interior acreage or a fence line. The goal is simple: get you back to the parts of your land you need to reach.
We start with where the route begins, where it needs to go, and how you plan to use it. Some routes are short entrances that have grown in. Others lead to a field, a fence line, or wooded acreage farther out, and naming the destination helps us understand what the route is for.
This May Be a Good Fit If…
- A road, trail, or path you use has grown over.
- Vegetation is making it harder to reach or move through part of the property.
- You want to open up a way in to part of your land.
- An old road or trail to the back of your land has disappeared under brush.
Show Us the Route
If the route is still visible, photos or a marked map help a lot. Take pictures from the entrance, along the way, and looking back toward the road or drive. Note gates, tight turns, fence crossings, and spots where the route has disappeared completely.
If you’re thinking about a new route, show us the general area and the destination you’re trying to reach. We’ll talk through the clearing needs with you from there.
Know Your Boundaries
If the route runs near a neighbor, a shared drive, or an easement, please confirm you have permission to clear it before work begins. Clearing a route doesn’t give you a legal right of way, and a marked map doesn’t replace a survey when the location is unclear. We simply want the work limits to be clear before clearing starts.
Clearing, Not Road Building
Our part is clearing the route. If your project also needs road construction, grading, excavation, or utilities, those parts should be planned separately with the right trade. Keeping those pieces separate makes the estimate clearer and helps you decide what to tackle first.
What to Share About the Route
- Where the route starts and where it needs to go
- Its approximate length and width
- Gates, tight turns, or fence crossings along the way
- A few photos of the route as it looks today
- Any lot, field, fence line, or view area the route leads to

Common Questions About Right-of-Way Clearing
What kinds of routes can you reopen?
We reopen roads, trails, and paths that have grown over, older routes you’d like to use again, and routes that connect parts of your property, like a way out to back acreage or a fence line.
What should I tell you about the route you want reopened?
Start with what the checklist on this page covers. It also helps to know how you use the route now and whether anything along its edges should stay, like a gate, a fence, or trees you like.
Can I send photos of the overgrown area?
Yes, please do. Photos are one of the most useful things you can send. Email them to info@flowersforestry.com, or mention them when you request your estimate.
