Whether you are planning on developing a newly purchased lot or you would like fresh landscaping on a previously neglected section of your property, securing professional land clearing services may be the best decision you can make.
Clearing and leveling a portion of land for development of any kind involves more than knocking down some trees and brush, especially if there are trees you want to keep. You will get your best results with some careful planning followed by hiring skilled land clearing technicians who can provide the right equipment for the job.
Here are some tips for how to take on a land clearing project and get it done efficiently.
Consider your piece of property
The condition of the land you intend to clear and how you plan to use it are critical considerations before you begin the process of clearing and prepping the area for development. For example, if you plan to build a large home or commercial building on a small, overgrown lot, you may need to completely clear and level it, taking care to remove debris, rocks, and root systems. A larger lot may offer the opportunity to save certain trees or shrubs, but you will need to take care during the clearing and leveling process to protect trees and their root systems from heavy equipment.
Be sure you answer the following questions before proceeding:
- How will I develop, build, and plant the lot?
- Are there structures, large trees, root systems, or old foundations or plumbing that will need to be removed?
- Do my plans for the lot as well as its size and shape allow for trees to be saved?
- What drainage issues should be addressed during leveling and grading?
Follow steps to clear land efficiently
Your land clearing expert can help you efficiently prepare your property for whatever development you are planning. If you are doing some preliminary work or plan to clear the land yourself, this step-by-step list may help:
- Remove unwanted buildings, fences, and other structures first.
- Cut down trees and large shrubs you do not want to keep.
- Remove debris, large rocks, and other obstructions before using grinders and brush hogs.
- Grind tree stumps and relocate mulch.
- Clear remaining brush and weeds.
- Grade and level land for planned development.
If trees on your property are large and must be removed, it is best to consult a tree removal and land clearing expert. Removing a large tree can be dangerous, especially if you do not have the right equipment to safely take it down.
