Whether you have big plans for an overgrown piece of property or aren’t quite sure what to do with it, seeking professional land-clearing services can help. Removing old trees, tall weeds, and unwanted pests from the parcel can give it a new life and increased value. Read more about how the process works and the benefits available with this complete land-clearing guide.
Professionals Give Your Plot a Fresh Start
Obstacles like old, dead trees, overgrown brush, tall weeds, and other unwanted vegetation can prevent you from using your plot like you truly want. Clearing the land removes these items safely.
With thick vegetation growing wildly, it takes more than a lawn mower to clean the site. Professionals use heavy-duty machinery that’s closer to construction equipment than a lawn mower. Clearing a parcel can involve machinery like mulchers, bulldozers, chainsaws, and graders.
After cutting down the vegetation, experts may need to grade the land to prevent erosion. Trees and weeds may guide the water after a thunderstorm in a certain direction. Removing these plants may create new paths for water to travel, requiring land grading.
Experts Help You Reach Your Goals for the Parcel
When you hire experts for land clearing services, you can reach your goals for the property. Whether you want to build a house, start a farm, or sell the lot, removing overgrown vegetation prepares the space for its new purpose.
Cutting down old trees makes the space safer for people to use. Removing brush and tall weeds eliminates areas where dangerous pests could hide. By grading the parcel after removing the vegetation, you eliminate low spots where water could collect and serve as a breeding area for mosquitoes.
If you are trying to sell the lot, it may be difficult to receive your asking price if brush and vegetation are clogging the space. Potential buyers might struggle to see the potential of the parcel when they’re staring at tall weeds and dead trees. Vegetation removal gives the property a fresh start.
Steps Required When Removing Vegetation From Overgrown Property
Professionals take specific steps for efficient land preparation, based on your final goals for the property.
Collecting Information About the Parcel
Professionals will gather information about the property and determine which equipment to use. Parcels with thicker vegetation or severe slopes may require specialty machinery to effectively clear them.
Creating a Plan and Cost Estimate
The land-clearing company will generate a price estimate for the work, based on the plan discussed during the initial phase. If you agree on the estimate, the company should provide a written contract that describes the work, timeline for completion, and payment schedule.
Removing the Vegetation
The company will deliver the machinery to the site and begin working on the scheduled date for the job. Small areas might only require a few hours of work. Large parcels may need several days to complete the job.
Handling the Debris
As part of the written contract, the professionals will specify how they’re handling the debris. Most people choose forestry mulching, which turns the vegetation into mulch and leaves it on the soil. Other people may want to burn or haul the debris, which requires more time and will increase the price for clearing the parcel.
Reasons To Hire Experts for Property Clearing
Some people might want to try DIY land clearing services. However, you would have to rent the machinery for the work and learn how to use it. Removing large trees and brush from the property can be dangerous work if you aren’t familiar with the equipment or know how to follow safety procedures.
Professionals already own the equipment needed to clear a parcel. They’re experts at using it, which means they can finish the work faster, letting you move to the next phase of the project on time.
If your property has existing buildings or heritage trees that need protection, professionals will work with precision. Novices trying to clear the land themselves might struggle to fell trees in a direction that keeps buildings and people safe.
When you hire experts, you receive an accurate estimate for the project’s cost. Professionals will listen to your plans for the lot, ensuring they use the right equipment and only clear the exact amount of space you need. They’ll provide advice that improves the final result and saves money.
