Terrain & Site Conditions in Highland

Highland and the Town of Lloyd sit on the Hudson River's western bank, featuring rolling terrain transitioning from riverfront land up into the hills toward New Paltz. Soils are generally workable β€” a mix of loam and clay depending on elevation β€” but rocky outcroppings become more common moving west. The Hudson River and Black Creek create wetland buffer zones on eastern and lowland properties.

We size our equipment and approach to match your specific property. No one-size-fits-all solutions β€” we assess your site first, then recommend the right method and machinery.

πŸ“‹ Permit & Regulatory Notes for Highland

  • The Town of Lloyd requires site plan review for significant residential and commercial clearing projects. Properties near Black Creek or the Hudson River shoreline may require DEC permits. Ulster County erosion control requirements apply for disturbances over one acre.
