Land clearing is the process of removing trees from an area, which can provide a wide range of benefits. There are many reasons you may find you need some trees removed. If done properly, it will make your life much easier, prevent financial troubles, and keep people safe. If you’re dealing with any of these issues, it’s time to schedule clearing.

When to Schedule Land Clearing

1. Remove Safety Hazards

Trees are beautiful, but they become a safety hazard once they get sick, damaged, or start to die. If you see trees with cracked trunks that are missing big chunks of bark or suddenly losing their leaves during the wrong time of year, this means the tree is becoming unstable. Another sign of a diseased or decaying tree is the presence of mushrooms popping up in the soil around the trees or fungal growth on the trunks.

2. Prevent Neighborly Disputes

Trees can cause disputes with neighbors for many reasons, and the offenders are usually the ones near the property line. They may be upset with a tree dropping branches and leaves on their property, or worry about an unhealthy tree falling onto their property. You can keep things more civil and make things easier for everyone simply by removing those trees altogether.

3. Prepare for Other Use

Trees can get in the way of making a property usable. Whether you’re planning to build a home or want a space to put a pool, you’ll need to clear the land first. Come up with the blueprints for your project and lay out the build on the ground with markers before scheduling clearing. This will ensure your excavation contractor will remove everything necessary without taking out the trees you’d prefer to keep for ambiance and shade.
