Skid-Steer Bucket & Grapple Work

Bucket and grapple attachments on the skid steer move material around a site — brush, logs, debris, fill — for cleanup and site support work that doesn't call for a full excavation job.

This service may be right for your property if…

  • Properties that need brush, logs, or debris moved or piled, not just cut
  • Cleanup work that's more about moving material than digging
  • Jobs where skid-steer maneuverability matters more than excavator reach

What’s included

  • Brush and log handling and pile management
  • Material and debris movement around a site
  • Site cleanup after clearing or storm damage
  • General site support alongside other equipment on the job

Good to know

This is material-handling work — moving, piling, and clearing what's already on the ground — not excavation. If the job also needs digging, grading, or soil movement, that's excavator bucket work, and the two are often scoped together on the same visit.

Common property situations

  • Post-clearing cleanup with brush or log piles to move
  • Material staging or relocation around a job site
  • General site support alongside other equipment

What affects scope

Worth thinking through before you request an estimate — the more of this you send, the better we can scope it from your request alone.

  • Volume and type of material to move
  • Where material needs to end up — pile location, disposal, staging
  • Site access and maneuvering room
  • Whether the job also needs digging (excavator work) alongside it

What happens next

From request to work on the ground

  1. Submit your property details

    Use the request form to tell us about the property, the work you're considering, and site conditions.

  2. JKE reviews the request

    Kevin looks over what you've sent and confirms the basics before scheduling anything.

  3. JKE contacts you

    By whichever method you asked for — phone, text, or email — to talk through the job.

  4. Site visit, if needed

    Plinio walks the property in person for anything that can't be scoped from the request alone.

  5. Estimate prepared

    A real number based on what's actually on the ground — not a phone-quoted guess.

  6. Work scheduled after you agree

    Nothing is scheduled before that — submitting the request form doesn't book an appointment on its own.

Submitting the request form doesn’t book an appointment — Plinio reviews every request and follows up to schedule a site visit directly, always subject to availability and project fit.
