There are many different methods for clearing land to make it more usable. The equipment and process depend significantly on the vegetation and debris that needs to be removed and the result that you want to achieve. Whether you require forest cleaning services or need help clearing brush, our team has the tools and knowledge to get the job done quickly, and we’ll haul the mess away when the job’s complete.
Why Proper Land Clearing is Important
Land clearing is tough, and it takes a lot of skill to get it done correctly – Safety is the primary concern. Most land clearing requires heavy equipment like excavators that can be hard to maneuver, and hand-held tools like chainsaws can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Removing large boulders, trees, and thorny brush requires training and skill that’s simply best left to the pros.
There are also several environmental factors to consider. When performed incorrectly, land clearing can lead to soil erosion, which strips the nutrients from the soil and leaves the ground unstable. This can be a problem if you plan to build a home or other structure on your cleared space. Improper land clearing can also displace birds and other critters that have made the land their home. We may aim to drive away Bigfoot, but we’re happy to mulch the land so beneficial creatures can stick around.
Methods for Clearing Land
The type of land and its future purpose will determine which land-clearing method is best. Our crews will look at your property, listen to your desired results, and pick the process to do the job efficiently and effectively.
Manual Clearing
Manually clearing land is best for smaller areas that don’t need a lot of work. Hand tools like axes and saws are used to clear brush and small debris so the area is clear for building and fire risks. This process may take longer, but it’s less invasive and leaves the soil intact.
Mechanical Clearing
This method is best for bigger debris and forest clearing. Large equipment like bulldozers and excavators are used to quickly remove trees, boulders, and thick vegetation, and then it’s hauled away from the site. This leaves a cleared space that can then be used for building or landscaping purposes.
Chemical Clearing
Chemical cleaning is used to kill weeds and grass in the spring. It takes far less manpower than other methods, and results can be seen quickly. If you opt for chemical clearing, make sure you do your research to understand how it can affect vegetation and animals living nearby.
