Almost every vacant lot features tangled undergrowth, stumps, trees, and insects, all of which have to be cleared out before construction can begin. Homeowners who wish to make their property safer and more attractive may need a land clearing professional to remove the excess plant growth and other debris that sit in the way of a new landscaping project.

What Is Land Clearing?

Depending on the severity of the problem, land clearing can involve cutting down trees, removing dead wood, trimming back bushes, and disposing of plant matter. If a new home is going to be built, contractors may need to remove large stones and other obstacles before beginning excavation. However, the process can be very broad or narrowly focused based on the needs of the project and the condition of the property. For instance, your landscaping contractor can cut around certain trees or plants you would like to keep and selectively remove everything else.

What Are the Benefits of Land Clearing?

Not only does clearing land create room for new construction, but it promotes the health of plants you leave behind. No longer competing with a carpet of shrubs and bushes, they can flourish, becoming an important part of your landscaping design. After land clearing, contractors lay down a layer of mulch, which preserves the quality of the soil and provides protection from excessive runoff. The absence of abundant plant life can also cut down on mosquitoes, rodents, and other pests that may have found a suitable breeding ground in the uncleared growth.
