If you’re planning to clear land with development in mind or considering clearing part of your residential property, you probably have questions about the process. Before you hire a land clearing company, learn about and get comfortable with the process. Here are three of the most common questions about having your land cleared. 

What You Need to Know About Land Clearing

Can Certain Trees Be Left Standing?

If you don’t plan to pave the land you’re clearing, you might want to leave some of the more attractive trees standing. This can be part of the plan you develop with your land clearing company. Make sure you communicate your needs with whoever you hire, and check that the trees you want standing are clearly marked before they begin clearing the area. 

Do I Need a Permit?

Clearing your own residential property doesn’t typically require a permit, but check with your local authorities first. If you are clearing land for commercial or residential development, however, a permit might be required, especially if you’ll be laying pipes, performing grading, or clearing particularly large swaths of land. Your land clearing company can answer some of your permitting questions. 

What About Stumps?

Once trees are removed, stumps are often left behind. Bring this up with your land clearing company and ask for stump removal if they will interfere with your plans for the land. Most tree services and land clearing professionals can grind and mulch the stumps for you so that your land is fully cleared.
