Under-array mowing, perimeter runs, and access road clearing for utility-scale solar projects. Idaho-based, proposal back in 24 hours.
Clearcut Solar Services LLC is operated by Cameron Gardiner out of southern Idaho. With a background in large-acreage agricultural operations across the Intermountain West, we bring the equipment, regional knowledge, and land management experience to solar vegetation work.
Our equipment fits standard and wide row spacing with room to spare. We're based where the work is — which means shorter mobilization, lower overhead, and direct communication with the person doing the job.
Solar projects operate for 30+ years. Even a modest reduction in vegetation management expense compounds across the life of the asset, improving IRR and increasing distributions to investors. If you haven't re-bid your vegetation contract recently, you may be leaving value on the table.
Get a competitive bid →Lower O&M costs mean more cash available to cover debt obligations — giving owners and investors the flexibility to optimize capital structure, reduce equity requirements, or improve coverage ratios on existing financing.

Overgrown vegetation causes unexpected shading and panel soiling, reducing energy output below projections and impacting revenue forecasts.
Persistent drought across the western U.S. has pushed fire risk to historic levels. We mow and disc project perimeters to create defensible buffers between your infrastructure and potential wildfire.
Deferred vegetation management can trigger lease violations, insurance exclusions, or regulatory issues. A scheduled program keeps the project in compliance without reactive emergency spending.
We stay focused on vegetation management and related project support around utility-scale solar infrastructure, with scope aligned to project access, reporting, and owner requirements.
Service frequency is built around project conditions, growth patterns, maintenance standards, and owner requirements. We cover under-array areas, open rows, and related service zones without forcing every project into the same schedule.
We cover perimeter lanes, access roads, turnout areas, and other serviceable strips that affect access, visibility, and project appearance. Scope is defined up front so owners and O&M teams know exactly what is included.
If growth gets ahead of the normal schedule, we can quote recovery work and spot service for problem areas. Timing is coordinated directly based on access, distance, and project conditions.
Base vegetation management assumes discharge or mulch-in-place. If your project requires clipping windrows, stockpiles, or off-site haul, we price those separately instead of burying them inside the base rate.
Clear scope, direct communication, and project-focused vegetation management — without the overhead of a national platform.
We work to project access requirements, check-in procedures, PPE expectations, and owner standards. The service stays focused on vegetation management around solar infrastructure without drifting into unrelated work.
Base vegetation management, clipping options, recovery work, and extra visits are separated so you can compare numbers cleanly. No vague all-in bid that hides the actual work or pushes unrelated services into the proposal.
After each service visit, we can report completed areas and flag visible issues such as blocked access, washouts, fence trouble, or unexpected heavy growth that could affect the next visit.
Equipment is staged in Idaho for work across Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. That supports faster response, cleaner logistics, and direct communication with the person pricing the work instead of a layered national handoff.
The goal is to get from project info to a usable proposal quickly, without forcing your operations team through a long intake process.
Share the project name, location, acreage if known, service frequency expectations, and whether you want clipping management priced as an alternate.
We review row spacing, access lanes, perimeter runs, problem areas, and any owner-specific safety or reporting requirements before final pricing is issued.
We turn around a scope-based free proposal within 24 hours with base vegetation management, optional add-ons, and a clear list of exclusions.
Equipment staged in southern Idaho for work across Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and neighboring states including Montana, Nevada, and Oregon. Short mobilization distances, no layered national handoff, and direct communication with the crew doing the work.
Send the project name, county, acreage, service frequency, and clipping needs. We use that to scope the work and return a clear proposal with optional add-ons and exclusions.
