Land Clearing & Site Work
Shapleigh, ME
Shapleigh is a rural western York County town within the 15-mile radius from Middleton, with Mousam Lake shoreland jurisdiction and some of the heaviest glacial-till soils in the service area. Ridge Cut covers Shapleigh fully.
We provide land clearing, site preparation, stump grinding, drainage, retaining walls, and finish grading for Shapleigh properties. Work in Shapleigh shifts the regulatory framework to Maine DEP — Ridge Cut handles both NH and Maine permit coordination.
Shapleigh's dense, slow-draining soils with frequent ledge and boulders significantly affect clearing approach and stump removal, so Ridge Cut assesses each site thoroughly.
