about us

Built on
Honest Work.

Mountainside Construction LLC is a family-owned land clearing operation based in Sandy, Oregon. We do one thing — and we do it right.

the owners

Derick & Alisha Rusher,
Sandy, OR

Derick & Alisha started Mountainside Construction because they saw a real need in the Pacific Northwest: property owners with overgrown, inaccessible land.

Multi-acre blackberry infestations. Steep hillsides no wheeled machine can reach. Abandoned properties that haven't been touched in decades. That's what Mountainside was built for.

Based at the foot of Mount Hood in Sandy, Oregon, Derick and his crew serve property owners across Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington — bringing the same work ethic to every job, whether it's half an acre or twenty.

Licensed, insured, and bonded in both Oregon and Washington. All work performed in compliance with state contractor regulations.

our equipment

Professional-Grade
Mulching Equipment

Our tracked excavator with mulching head attachment is purpose-built for Pacific Northwest terrain — capable on steep slopes, wet ground, and tight spaces where wheeled equipment can't go.

For larger properties, we have skidsteers that get the job done in record fast time, saving you money.

The mulching head grinds brush, blackberry, small trees, and stumps into fine mulch in a single pass. Nothing gets hauled away — the mulch stays on your land and feeds the soil.
