What is land clearing near me?
The simplest definition of land clearing is the removal of anything which is providing an impediment to future activities and/or construction. This can be the removal of brush, of rocks, of trees, or even existing outbuildings, and it can be for the purpose of turning that unused land into any of the following:
- A new home
- A new business
- A pasture
- Farmland
- Ranch land
- Simply a single shed or outbuilding
- An area for a septic tank
- An area for a well
- A driveway
- An area for drilling or laying of utilities
- Or a myriad of other uses for that undeveloped land
What is needed from a land clearing near me company?
A qualified land clearing company will have the following:
- The proper equipment
- The proper training on that equipment
- Solid references from past customers
- A knowledge of local ordinances regarding land clearing
Each of these requirements are crucial, and we mention that because there has been a huge influx of small, one-person companies cropping up lately, promising the moon but incapable of delivering on that promise. The licensing of land-clearing companies is fairly easy. No formal training or experience is needed. It’s a bit like the wild, wild west of late. Everyone with a pickup truck and a chainsaw thinks they can start a land clearing company and make a few extra dollars on the side, and that is what the property owners in any city need to be aware of.
Proper training on heavy equipment is crucial. Proper equipment is crucial. And general liability insurance is crucial. Without these things, the property owner is rolling the dice when hiring a land clearing service, and rolling the dice is called gambling for a very good reason.
Making the final decision on a land clearing company
There really is only one safe way to hire a land clearing company, and that is to ask for references and then follow-up on those references. If the company is as good as they claim to be, they will have no problem providing a list of references of past jobs. And, if they can’t provide that list, you should calmly and politely show them the door and wish them a great life. Land clearing needs to be done correctly, and for the money you are paying for that land clearing cost, you should expect the very best in trained operators.
