Mr. Rex had a problem that costs farmers money every single season – a wooded point pushing into his field, plus 8-10 trees along the south boundary eating into usable acreage. He wanted that land back in production.
We cleared the point, removed the trees, coordinated hauling, and graded everything back to farmland. A high-pressure gas line ran through the work area, so every step required careful planning and execution.
Mr. Rex farms in Northern Oklahoma. Over the years, a wooded point had crept out from the tree line and into his field. Another 8-10 trees along the south end made his equipment runs inefficient and reduced his plantable acres.
He needed the area cleared and returned to cropland. The catch: a marked high-pressure gas line crossed through the property. That meant no room for careless work or rushed decisions.
Before any equipment moved, we walked the property with Mr. Rex and identified the gas line markers. We established safe working distances and planned our approach to keep all heavy equipment clear of the line.
We removed 8-10 designated trees along the south end of the field. These were hauled off-site by a trucking company rather than processed on-site—cleaner removal, no debris left behind.
The point extending from the woods into the field came out next. Brush, smaller trees, and undergrowth were cleared and consolidated for burning.
We dug a 35' x 45' burn pit on-site. Cleared brush and timber debris went into the pit for controlled burning over the following days.
Once burning was complete, we filled the pit back in and graded the entire cleared area level with the surrounding field. No low spots, no mounds—ready for equipment to run straight across.
The gas line crossing the property added a layer of complexity to every phase of the job. We maintained visual contact with the markers throughout clearing operations and kept excavation work well clear of the line’s path.
No incidents. No close calls. The line stayed protected, and the work got done.
