There is a lot of preparation and equipment needed when it comes to clearing land for new construction. Unwanted trees, plants, and shrubbery must be removed before the soil can be cleared of rocks and other debris. Hiring a professional land clearing company is necessary unless you have the proper equipment to do the job yourself. That’s why the excavation contractors at Alaska Hydro Ax in Anchorage have compiled this information to use as a guide for your land clearing project. 

What Type of Equipment Is Needed?

Clearing land is a large and varied task that depends on many factors, such as size, climate, and condition of the area. Fecon^® products are widely used, especially in the early stages of clearing, because of their reliability, durability, and efficiency. The most commonly needed equipment includes stump grinders, mulchers, heavy duty tractors, excavators, grapples, log jaws, and chippers. The crew at Alaska Hydro Ax also utilizes Bull Hogs, tree shears, mulching tractors, and attachments to complete a land-clearing project. 

How Can You Get This Equipment?

Your best action is to hire a professional land clearing company. Not only do they already have the equipment needed, but they also have skilled specialists who have been licensed, insured, and trained to use it. Hiring an excavation contractor is more cost-effective than purchasing equipment and hiring your own labor. Plus, they have the experience to check for problems and know exactly what equipment will be needed so that you don’t unnecessarily spend money.
