Fenlo Property Services is the single accountable partner for solar and wind farm developments across the Southeast — from initial land clearing and grading through security fencing, roadside maintenance, and specialized solar panel cleaning. Led by an OSHA-authorized construction trainer, backed by safety and fleet programs built to a national standard.
Every clearing outfit claims to be safety-first. We can prove it. Our owner is an OSHA-authorized construction outreach trainer — so we deliver the OSHA 10- & 30-hour courses and card our own crews in-house, rather than outsourcing safety to a website.
Forestry mulching, land clearing, and heavy-equipment work is genuinely high-hazard. When you hire a contractor for it, their safety record becomes your liability and their incidents become your delays. Hiring a trained, documented crew — led by someone authorized to train others — makes that risk go away.
We take a solar or wind parcel through every stage and stay on it for the life of the asset. Most operators do one piece; we own the whole sequence, so nothing falls between vendors.
Forestry mulching and land clearing that opens overgrown, impassable acreage.
Site and access-road grading with skid steers and heavy equipment — site-ready, spec-ready.
Commercial perimeter fencing and site control that removes liability for good.
Specialized panel washing that protects output — a core, ongoing service, not an afterthought.
Recurring roadside maintenance, vegetation management, and long-term compliance oversight.
Each project below is a real engagement — site conditions, approach, and outcomes. Click to read the full case study.
A renewable-energy developer's parcel had become home to several people living on-site. We resolved it with a safety-first, people-first approach: every individual was relocated with real support, the property cleared and secured, zero incidents.
More than 1,000 tires strewn down a highway right-of-way, some reaching a wetland stream. With no heavy machinery allowed near the wetland, our crew removed and cleaned every tire by hand.
Three parcels bound for solar development had become a magnet for encampments, dumping, and criminal use. We cleared it, remediated it, and closed it off for good.
Every new project sits on rural, overgrown, environmentally sensitive land that has to be cleared, cleaned, secured, and maintained — safely and in compliance. Few operators handle that full lifecycle and can show up across state lines. We can, from right here in Atlanta.
Tell us about the site. We'll walk it, flag the risks, and give you a plan to get it clear, compliant, secured, and site-ready.
A renewable-energy developer's parcel had become home to several people living on-site. We resolved it with a safety-first, people-first approach: every individual was relocated with real support, the property was cleared and secured, and the project moved forward — with zero incidents.
The parcel was slated for a utility-scale solar development. Over time, it had also become the site of several unauthorized encampments — people living in makeshift structures within the wooded acreage.
For the developer, that created three problems at once, and they were tangled together. This wasn't a job you could bulldoze your way through.
◇ Documentation from the initial site assessment · shared with care
People were living amid hazards — exposure, debris, and a site about to become an active work zone.
An owner carries liability for injuries and conditions on their property, occupied or not.
Structures, debris, and scrap had to be cleared and the parcel secured before work could begin.
The difference in how we handled this is the whole point: we didn't just run people off the land.
Before anyone was asked to leave, Fenlo brought in a third-party outreach organization to connect each person living on the site with real resources — pathways toward housing, help obtaining identification and driver's licenses, and connections to employment. The goal was that people left with a foundation to build on, not simply displaced to the next patch of woods.
Only then did we coordinate a safe, orderly relocation, followed by full removal of the structures, debris, and scrap, and securing of the parcel — all documented and in compliance.
Walk the parcel, document conditions, and map every structure and hazard.
Bring in a third-party organization to connect residents with housing pathways, IDs, and employment resources.
Coordinate an orderly relocation so every individual leaves supported — not just moved along.
Remove makeshift structures and haul out accumulated debris and scrap, handled compliantly.
Secure the parcel and hand back a clean, development-ready site.
"The goal was never just to clear the land. It was to remove the liability the right way — and give the people living there a real chance to get back on their feet."— Fenlo Property Services
If your parcel needs to be cleared, secured, and made development-ready — safely and the right way — we should talk before it breaks ground.
Another parcel bound for solar development hid an illegal tire dump — more than a thousand tires strewn down a highway right-of-way, some reaching a wetland stream. With no heavy machinery allowed near the wetland, our crew removed and cleaned every tire by hand, then hauled them off for proper disposal.
The parcel was slated for a utility-scale solar development. Down the highway right-of-way, out of sight from the road, tires had been dumped for years — more than a thousand of them. Some had reached a wetland and its stream.
That turned a cleanup into one of the hardest kinds of remediation there is — three constraints working against each other at once.
◇ Documentation from the site assessment and removal
Tires had reached the water, where a sheen was already visible. Leaving them wasn't an option.
Wetland protections meant no heavy equipment could work the area. Full stop.
Tires full of mud and debris get rejected by recycling facilities — you can't just haul them off dirty.
The wetland rules left exactly one option, and we took it: every tire, by hand.
Our crew hand-carried each tire out of the wetland buffer, cleaned the mud and debris off by hand so recycling facilities would accept them, and staged the whole lot well clear of the water. From there, we loaded semi-trucks and hauled everything to proper disposal.
It's slower, harder, and far more careful than running equipment through — which is exactly why the wetland came through it intact.
Walk the right-of-way, document the dump, and mark the wetland boundary and buffer.
Hand-carry every tire out — no heavy machinery permitted anywhere near the wetland.
Clear the mud and debris from each tire so recycling facilities would accept them.
Consolidate the tires well away from the wetland for safe, compliant recovery.
Load semi-trucks and haul everything off to proper disposal and recycling.
"No machines allowed in the wetlands meant one thing: we did it by hand. Every tire, one at a time — because that's what protecting the water required."— Fenlo Property Services
If your parcel needs to be cleared and remediated — safely, compliantly, and without cutting corners on the environment — we should talk before it breaks ground.
Three parcels bound for solar development had become a magnet for everything spilling out of the neighborhoods around them — encampments, dumping, drug activity, even a chop shop. We cleared it, remediated it, and then closed it off for good: over 10,000 linear feet of commercial-grade perimeter fence across 60-plus acres.
The three parcels were slated for a utility-scale solar development. Unsecured and bordered by subdivisions and apartments, the property had quietly become a catch-all for the liabilities around it.
What was spilling in went well beyond litter: unauthorized encampments, loitering and soliciting, illegal dumping, drug activity — and organized criminal use. During the work, our crew discovered several stolen vehicles staged on the property, including a skid steer and a trailer, all removed by law enforcement. The land had effectively become a stash point.
◇ Documentation from the completed perimeter
With no perimeter, anyone could walk on — and did. Every intrusion was the owner's liability.
Stolen vehicles, a chop shop, and dumping had taken hold on an unwatched site.
You can't develop — or even keep clear — a site that keeps getting re-occupied.
This project ran in an unusual order — and that was the key to it working.
Normally we fence a site after it's cleared. Here we couldn't. The intrusion was constant, so securing the perimeter had to be part of the clearing — not a step after it.
So we ran the whole operation as one: clear and remediate the parcels, work with authorities to remove what didn't belong, cut a fence line through raw forest, and build a perimeter strong enough that the property would stay clear once we left.
Forestry mulching and land clearing across all three parcels.
Remove dumped tires and debris; resolve the encampments safely and humanely.
Document and coordinate law-enforcement removal of stolen property, including a skid steer and a trailer.
Clear a perimeter line through raw forest across three parcels and 60+ acres.
Install 10,000+ linear feet of 6' commercial chain link topped with a 1' three-strand barbed-wire extension, and post the property.
"You can't keep sixty acres clear if the door's always open. So we closed it — ten thousand feet of it."— Fenlo Property Services
Whether it's a fresh parcel or one that's already been overrun, we clear it, remediate it, and lock the perimeter down so it stays that way.
