The Errington hobby farm gone to broom. The Coombs acreage waiting on a build. The Whiskey Creek lot where the alder took over. A local operator who knows Oceanside ground clears it and leaves it ready to build, farm, or plant — free on-site quote first.

Your neighbours on the Oceanside coast
Oceanside runs from the beaches of Parksville and Qualicum Beach back into the rural acreage, hobby farms, and forest of Errington, Coombs, and Whiskey Creek. Clearing here means reclaiming overgrown parcels and ALR farmland, prepping building lots, and thinning fuel around homes tucked into the trees. Timberline connects you with experienced local operators who know Oceanside land, its rivers and rules, and how to leave your property ready for what's next.
From single overgrown lots to multi-acre parcels — one crew, one quote, no surprises.
Full clearing and prep so your builder can start on a clean, workable site.
We grind brush and small trees in place — no burn piles, no haul-away, instant ground cover.
Blackberry, broom, salal, and alder regrowth cleared back to usable land.
Selective tree removal and stump grinding as part of the same job.
Every Comox Valley property has its own reason. These are the jobs we see most around town.
Oceanside lots often need clearing before a build. We open the footprint and driveway line from French Creek to Qualicum Bay.
Errington, Coombs, and Whiskey Creek hobby farms grow back fast. We push back broom, blackberry, and alder so ALR parcels earn their keep again.
Rural Oceanside homes sit in the forest. FireSmart thinning and fuel removal around structures buys real protection through dry summers.
Open up ocean and mountain views inland from the coast, and turn scrub into lawn, pasture, or garden.
Local knowledge
Oceanside parcels run to Douglas fir, western red cedar, and arbutus, with Garry oak, big-leaf maple, and alder mixed in, plus heavy broom and blackberry on cleared land. We handle dense stands and brushy reclamation alike, mulched in place or hauled — your call.
The coast is flat and sandy, rising quickly to rural, forested acreage and farmland inland around Errington and Coombs. The Englishman and Little Qualicum rivers cut through, and wet winter ground is a factor, so we plan access and timing to keep your soil intact.
The Town of Qualicum Beach is known for strong tree protection, and the City of Parksville and the RDN each have their own rules for rural land. Riparian setbacks near the Englishman and Little Qualicum rivers, ALR farmland, and development permit areas can all apply. We flag what affects your property first.
Four steps from overgrown to ready — no deposits, no surprises on the invoice.
We walk the property with you, talk through options, and give a firm number.
We book a window that suits you — and the ground conditions.
Right-sized machines for your lot, operated by people who do this every day.
Mulched, cleaned, and ready for the excavator, the seed drill, or the housewarming.
Tell us about the job and we'll come take a look — no cost, no pressure, just an honest quote from someone local.

We clear acreage and lots across Parksville, Qualicum Beach, and the wider Oceanside area — from French Creek and Errington to Coombs, Whiskey Creek, and up the coast to Bowser and Deep Bay. If you’re on acreage out here, we can likely get a machine to it.

It depends on tree density, terrain, and access — most acreage jobs around Parksville and Qualicum land between $2,000 and $6,000 per acre. Heavy fir stands cost more than broom and alder. The free on-site quote gives you a firm number, not a range.
A brushy half-acre is often a one-day job; a treed multi-acre parcel can run several days. We’ll give you a timeline with the quote.
Either. Forestry mulching grinds everything into ground cover on the spot — usually the cheaper option. If you want it gone, we chip and haul instead.
Often, yes. Qualicum Beach has strong tree-protection rules, and Parksville and the RDN add their own — riparian setbacks near the Englishman and Little Qualicum rivers, ALR land, and development permit areas can all require sign-off. We’ll tell you what applies before any work starts.
Late summer through fall, when the ground is driest and machines leave the least impact. Well-drained lots can be worked through winter — we’ll assess that at the quote.
