Whether you’re preparing your land for residential or commercial purposes, land clearing is important to a building or construction project. The guide below will help ensure that your next clearing project will go as smoothly as possible.

Clearing Land? Some Things to Remember

1. Permits and Paperwork

Before you hire a company to begin the land clearing process, you should research any permits or paperwork needed for tree removal and construction. Permits aren’t always necessary but it’s best to check with a specialized company beforehand. Planning ahead of time is helpful as it can be a lengthy process to obtain the permits. Keep in mind you must also allow time for them to be reviewed. Sometimes, clearing can only begin a certain number of days after approval has been granted.

2. Zoning

Another permit you may need to consider is zoning. Land clearing permissions may not be granted in certain zone areas, and some zones may be prohibited from particular land use. For example, assuring that your land is cleared for building placement is a necessary step in construction.

3. Green Waste Removal

Land clearing comes with removing trees, shrubs, grass, leaves, and other landscape debris from your property. There are options to remove this green waste, such as composting it on your land. However, depending on the space you have after construction, this may not be a viable option. An alternative would be to hire a land clearing company that specializes in waste equipment rental and trash disposal.
