Brush clearing seems like such a straightforward task, right? Many a weekend warrior has done it in preparation for some backyard construction project i.e. building a shed, pond excavation, etc.
But is it really just a matter of digging out bushes and cutting down small saplings? Is there more to it, and are you skilled enough to do the job correctly?
We are J & A Excavation, leading the way in the Fort Worth Metro area with excavation services of all kinds, from pond excavation to driveway excavation to building pads. When the job needs to be done right, the first time, call J & A Excavation.
What is brush clearing?
Ask this question of a thousand people, and probably 95% of them will say that brush clearing is the clearing away of brush. They then might roll their eyes and even say “duh” because the question seems to absurd to them.
In theory they would be correct; however, it is also a bit more complicated, and it is that complication which prompts the writing of this article.
Brush clearing is more than simply clearing brush.
Before you yank out the first blackberry bush, know that brush clearing for a construction project must be cleared by your local government agency. Any backyard construction job, from building a pond to building a man shed, needs to have a governmental permit. In addition, before you disturb the ground, before you push a shovel into the soil, you need to make sure there are no pipes or underground wiring/cables which could be damaged. Trust us when we tell you that you do not want to cut into a water pipe on the first day of your project.
Then let’s talk about safety issues. It would blow your mind to know how many backyard injuries are sustained each year when weekend warriors take on jobs they are not equipped to handle. Are you insured for this project? Are you protected financially in case things go horribly wrong?
Do you have the skills and knowledge?
Which leads us to the ultimate question: do you really have the skills and knowledge to handle such a job? If so, and you take all of the safety precautions such a job requires, we wish you happiness in your endeavors. If not, we strongly encourage you to call the professionals and have them do what they are trained for. Yes, it is going to cost you money, but it won’t cost you nearly as much as those medical bills or governmental fines we mentioned earlier.
