Land clearing involves removing all obstacles from a plot of land, which may include natural parts of the earth like trees and stumps as well as man-made structures like pieces of concrete or building debris. The goal is to provide a blank slate for a new project. If you’re thinking about starting a new construction or agricultural project and want to know if this service may benefit you, consult the following guide.

How to Tell When Land Clearing Is Necessary

Land clearing may be necessary whenever you want to build on or otherwise use a plot of land that currently has obstructions. Simply removing trees or cutting down brush may not be enough since roots and obstructions below the surface may disrupt the foundation of a building or agricultural project. Professional service provides a solid, empty plot perfect for new developments.

Land clearing is commonly used in new building projects, whether it’s a neighborhood of homes in a formerly wooded area or a park located next to office buildings or storefronts where trees and brush are present.

It can also be used before starting new agricultural projects. For example, a farmer who wants to start growing new crops but is currently using their existing plots for other purposes may use land clearing to open up more space for this new venture. Professional service ensures there are no roots or other obstructions that might prevent new crops from growing.

What to Expect From the Process

Usually, the process starts with an evaluation of the land, so your contractor can determine the scope of the project and tools necessary to complete the work. For projects where the entire lot is to be cleared, they may use heavy excavation equipment to dig up and move large obstructions. They may even shred trees or other vegetation to mulch the land.

For smaller jobs or areas where property owners only want certain obstructions removed, they may use more specialized tools, like chainsaws, to cut down trees and brush manually.
