What is land clearing?
Land clearing is the digging up, and removal of, vegetation, including trees, which are preventing another use for the property. If there are other structures on the land, such as small sheds, those need to be removed as well.
What steps are involved in land clearing?
The steps taken in land clearing depend, largely, upon the use of the land after the clearing. If the land will just be used for grazing or for farming, usually the steps taken will include digging up, shredding the materials, loading them into a dump truck, and hauling them away.
If there is to be construction on the cleared land, it will be necessary to check with the governmental agency which oversees your area to make sure that environmental regulations are followed. A good land clearing company will know this and take care of that step for you. If, however, you attempt to do the job yourself, you need to be aware of this and notify the local government of your intentions.
How do you find a good lot clearing company?
We now arrive at the question all property owners face: do you hire this job out, to a land clearing company, or do you attempt it yourself?
If the land clearing requires the use of large equipment, our professional opinion is you are much better off hiring this job out to an experienced company. The operation of machinery like backhoes and excavator are best operated by professionals who are trained on their use. These are large machines and require expertise most property owners to not have. If, however, the land clearing job is a small one, it is entirely possible to do the job yourself, provided you have the time and are willing to do some rather strenuous work.
Our recommendation, even though it may seem self-serving, coming from an excavation company, is to play it safe and have the professionals do the work for you. It will be done, it will be done correctly, it will be done safely, and they carry liability insurance to protect you from any damage caused. In the long run, considering all of the risks, it is money well-spent.
How do you find these companies? Ask around. The good companies have made a name for themselves, as have the bad companies. It will not take long for a short list of good, qualified companies to rise to the top of the possible.
