Professional Skid Steer Services for Site Prep

At Thomas Waterproofing, we believe smart drainage starts with smart site preparation. Our team uses skid steer equipment to shape the ground and guide water away from the land. We customize each job to your property's drainage needs.

Brush Clearing Made Easy with Skid Steer Power

Overgrown brush, bush hogs, and dense vegetation do more than hurt curb appeal. They trap moisture, block water flow, and create drainage problems. Our brush cleaning service offers an efficient solution for clearing thick brush and overgrown areas.

Equipped with powerful attachments, our team steer machines will safely remove small trees, brush, and dense plants. This service not only improves the look of your land, it also reduces fire risk, pest problems, and drainage issues. If you're getting ready for a build or just want a cleaner space, we'll help clear the way.
