Service Areas
Lots and building sites we get to, county by county
An hour of driving buys you the whole southeast — Westmorland, Albert and Kent, most of Kings, and the Amherst side of the border. Here is what each part of it tends to need.
Where we work
The ground is not the same everywhere, and it changes the job
Marsh ground toward Sackville behaves nothing like the slopes in Albert County, and a coastal lot near Cap-Pelé brings watercourse considerations a field in Salisbury doesn't. Knowing that before we arrive is part of quoting it properly.
Below is where we work regularly and what tends to come up in each area. If your town isn't listed but you're within about an hour of Moncton, call anyway — the list is what's common, not what's possible.
Moncton
Infill lots that have grown in, and acreage on the outskirts toward Lutes Mountain and Berry Mills. Anything inside city limits needs a development permit check before a machine moves, and the city is stricter than the rural districts about it.
Dieppe
The fastest-moving building market we work in. New subdivisions keep pushing east and south, which means a steady run of treed lots that need an envelope, a driveway and a septic area opened up on a builder's timeline.
Riverview
Established residential streets backing onto woods, plus larger properties toward Hillsborough Road. More shop pads and garage sites here than new houses — people building on land they already own.
Shediac & Cap-Pelé
Seasonal and cottage property, which brings two constants: getting a machine down a narrow shore lane, and the 30-metre watercourse rule. Near the coast that rule catches almost every lot, so we check it first.
Salisbury & Boundary Creek
Acreage country. Bigger lots, longer driveways, and a lot of old farmland that stopped being worked. Cheaper per acre than anywhere closer to town, and the ground is generally kind to a machine.
Memramcook & Dorchester
Farms and woodlot that have been in the same hands a long time. Field edges creeping in, lanes closing over, and the occasional new house going up on a corner of the family land.
Sackville & Port Elgin
Low, wet ground toward the marsh. Boom reach matters more here than anywhere else on this list, and drainage has to be part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
Petitcodiac, Havelock & Elgin
Hills. Driveways that need real thought about where the water will run, and building sites that have to be cut into a grade rather than simply cleared.
Hillsborough, Riverside-Albert & Alma
Albert County, where access is usually the whole job. Steep ground, long approaches, and camps and cabins on land that has never had a road to it.
Sussex & the Kings County line
Farm country with a steady trade in acreage lots. Pasture reclamation in the spring and fall, building sites and outbuilding pads through the summer.
Bouctouche, Cocagne & Grande-Digue
Kent County shore and the farmland behind it. Cottage lots, camp access and old fields worth bringing back into use.
Rexton, Richibucto & Saint-Louis
Our northern edge. Larger acreage jobs make the trip worth it; smaller ones are best grouped with other work in the area, so ask about timing rather than assuming no.
Amherst & Cumberland County, NS
Comfortably inside our range. Same rates, same equipment. Nova Scotia runs its own watercourse and wetland rules, so those get checked separately from the New Brunswick ones.
Four counties
What each one asks of a machine
Westmorland
The busiest by far and the most varied — city infill lots at one end, marsh ground and shore lanes at the other. Permits come up more here than anywhere else, because more of it sits inside municipal boundaries.
Albert
Grade is the story. A building site gets cut into a slope rather than cleared flat, and the approach road is often more work than the site itself. Long days, satisfying results.
Kent
Shoreline lots and the farmland behind them. Watercourse setbacks are close to universal near the coast, so the permit question gets asked before the price one.
Kings
Working farm country around Sussex. Field edges, pasture, outbuilding pads, and the acreage lots that keep getting carved off larger holdings.
Wondering whether you're too far out?
Give us the civic address or the road you're on at (506) 233-6272. If the drive doesn't make sense for the size of the job we'll tell you plainly instead of stringing you along, and there is usually somebody closer we can point you at.
Straight answers
Service area questions
What is the edge of your range?
An hour of driving is the rough test, which lands us across Westmorland, Albert and Kent, most of Kings, and into Cumberland County on the Nova Scotia side. Steeves Mountain sits close to the middle of that circle, which is what makes the drive work.
Past that line it depends entirely on the size of the job. Several acres, or three lots in the same subdivision, will justify the trip. One small yard will not. Ask rather than assume — the answer takes thirty seconds.
Am I paying for your drive?
Getting the machines to your lot and home again is a fixed cost, and it sits inside the quoted number rather than appearing later as a line item. Because it is fixed, it gets spread thinner the more work we do in one trip.
That is the practical argument for settling the whole scope at once: clearing, stumps and the driveway together cost less than the same three jobs booked separately across a season.
Will you work on a lot inside city limits?
Regularly. A treed infill lot in Moncton or Dieppe is ordinary work for us, and the neighbours tend to prefer our method to the alternative, because nothing burns and there is no line of trailers on the street all week.
What we need to see first is the way in. A lot with houses tight on both sides may only have one viable approach, and that shapes both the sequence and the price.
Can you take on a whole subdivision?
Yes, and it is some of the most efficient work we do. One move of the machines covers every lot, and we can run them in whatever order suits your build schedule or your sales releases.
Talk to us early. A phased plan set out in advance costs less than the same lots called in one at a time as each one sells.
