What is brush clearing?
Brush clearing is exactly what the words appear to me: it is clearing out the brush and heavy vegetation from a future job site, usually a construction site. When the vegetation i.e. blackberry bushes, is too large, or too tough, for a mower to handle, larger equipment is needed to eliminate the brush and make for a good work site.
What equipment is needed for brush clearing?
In some situations, a piece of machinery called a brush hog can be used. This is an attachment to a tractor mower and can usually handle heavy vegetation as well as small saplings. However, there are cases where even a brush hog cannot do the job, in which case you may need a bulldozer or front-end loader. Those goliaths remove pretty much anything using brute force and strength to dig/claw anything out of the ground.
Who should you call to do the job correctly?
We will start this section with this statement of fact: Only professionally trained workers should operate machinery like a front end loader or a bulldozer. The emergency wards of hospitals are filled with people who tackled large construction jobs, using machinery they were not properly trained to operate, and the outcome was predictable. We know, the tendency when money is tight is to do the job yourself; however, if those savings are weighed against the cost of an uninsured trip to the hospital, it becomes a simple matter of logic in leaving the big jobs to the pros who are trained for them.
Do we think that all brush clearing should be done by professionals? Not at all. If you have a small job, and the brush can be cleared using a residential weed whacker, we say go for it, save money, and be careful. However, vegetation like small saplings and heavy vines cannot be removed using small tools like a weed whacker and then yes, we are saying you really should hire the job out.
