Phoenicia sits in the heart of the Catskills in the Town of Shandaken, nestled along Esopus Creek at the foot of some of the region's most dramatic mountain terrain. Properties in and around Phoenicia are often steeply wooded, heavily vegetated, and surrounded by protected Catskill Park lands. If you're clearing a wooded lot, preparing land for a cabin or home, or managing overgrown acreage in this area, our team has the experience and equipment for Catskill mountain terrain.

The area around Phoenicia features some of the steepest and rockiest terrain we work in across Ulster County. Shallow soils over Catskill sandstone and shale bedrock are common, and slopes can exceed 30% on many buildable parcels. Tracked equipment is often required. The Esopus Creek and its tributaries create significant wetland and riparian buffer considerations on most valley-floor properties.
We size our equipment and approach to match your specific property. No one-size-fits-all solutions — we assess your site first, then recommend the right method and machinery.
Land clearing done incorrectly causes soil erosion, drainage failures, and construction delays. A licensed, insured professional who knows your area's terrain, permit requirements, and soil conditions protects your investment. Our team brings the right experience and equipment to every Phoenicia job.

It depends on proximity to wetlands, disturbance size, and local town rules. Projects over one acre require a SWPPP. We advise on permits during your free estimate. Read the permits guide →
